Wonderful Experience - Excellent guide and informative presentation added a new sense of wonder to the incredible development of our city. The 7 year old enjoyed riding on a boat while adults drank in the sky views. Smooth ride, punctual, and comfortable enough for 90 minutes. Great intro to Chicago for visitors. The free beverages on the lower deck added a nice touch.
