Chicago Tour

This was a fantastic boat trip. We got to go through the lock to start with and at the end we had a high speed ride along the lake. Superb. Our guide, David, was very informative and fun and we got to see the wonderful buildings of Chicago up close. Would highly recommend this company. They made sure we were safe and looked after.
