Well worth it. Kent, the docent, was very knowledgeable and friendly. Loved getting a better understanding of the history of architecture in the city!

This tour was AMAZING! The woman who lead the tour (I can't remember her name, but our tour was 10/29/2022 at 10AM) was great - easy to understand and such a soothing voice while keeping us captivated with everything around us. Great hospitality by the whole crew. Complimentary drinks (coffee, soda, water, etc) on board. Highly recommend!

Hello! No we pick up on the Ogden slip.

Hi!, we are considering buying the Chicago Go Explorer and taking your tour. I have been told we cannot make reservations with this app. We are planning on arriving tomorrow. Is there a time you recommend for us that is the least busy? Thanks

We did a noon tour and it was full. But we didn't wait in line long. And everyone had a seat. I'd recommend a hat and sunscreen as you're in full sun most of the time. I'd call the tour company and see what they say about reservations using that explorer ap.

What happens if it rains? Is the top level covered? Do you bring an umbrella.

Pamela Benedict | Oct 4, 2022
Stephanie H | Oct 4, 2022

Yes, they do have a cover for the top level. We took an umbrella and a light jacket since the water is a little cooler.

Is there parking available? How much is the parking for this event?

Kimia N. | May 7, 2022
Debbie F | May 7, 2022

No specific parking that I know of. Closest & likely cheapest would be Grant Park garages, if you don't mind some walking. Other parking garages in city have "early bird" specials- if you park by 7 (8?) AM.
