The tour was very well organized and informative. The boat was spacious and comfortable but the real 5 star rating of the tour belongs our guide, Jake. He was polished yet wittily entertaining and so knowledgeable not only about the history of the buildings but also about the construction techniques and what each building contributed historically to the shaping of Chicago's cityscape. He gave us an excellent experience, one that we heartily endorse to anyone seeking to understand how the architecture and strategic city planning has informed the city of Chicago.

The tour was very enjoyable and informative. Our tour guide was Connor and our group was 14 people. We went to maybe 10 locations in the Loop area. Stories about Al Capone and his gang highlighted by locations still present. Several tragedies were told about at their locations including the SS Eastland sinking and Iroquois theater fire. Tour took a break at the historic Palmer House hotel which has many very ornate decorations. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and made the stories interesting.

Really good information about the Chicago crime and mob, however, a video to go along with the presentation would have been great to show what the buildings looked like, since so many of them are no longer standing, as the driver gets to the place where it once stood.

Our guide Rick was entertaining and knowledgeable. Also accommodating- let us change our tour time for earlier in the day. Found it helpful to get us familiar with the area, which we returned to the next day. Very limited stops- more of a drive by kind of tour.

This is a great cruise ... comfortable and actually uses up the 75 minutes. The only downside is that the audio is not clear and one could hear much of the details of the architecture of the buildings.
