Great weather for a tour with calm waters, but the boat was a mosquito nest. It all started well and we were in the middle of the tour, we got attacked by a swam of Mosquitoes, which I believe to be residing inside the vessel. When we got back on shore, nothing was done to address the issue.

Easy ticketing, lots of seating, considerate crew. Pre-recorded tour. Navy Pier was easy to access. Short but captured the scenery

We went on the Skyline Chicago River boat tour back in October, it was very windy. But also, very pretty! Really enjoyed it and got some great pics of the skyline and water. Loved it!
