The title says it all. I had a relaxing and entertaining experience with this awesome crew. Informative, friendly and during the more beautiful moments the tour guide knew what needed to be said and when to just let us experience the tour. Didn’t bring cash or I would have tipped them and will go again when I come back to Chicago! 💕 My and my two girlfriends loved this tour.

My friend and I enjoyed the Sunset Seadog Architectural Tour in Chicago! What an excellent investment it was! We learned about the different building styles and history but the best was our tour guide Andy. Highly recommended! Very funny and informative!! Thanks Andy. Keep it up!!

Took a 75-minute architecture tour today. Conveniently located at the Navy Pier, this tour was included in our City Pass. Andy was our tour guide. He was funny, informative and knew his history! The entire crew made the afternoon fun. We may have to do it again while in town. This was my second architectural cruise in Chicago (I used a different company last summer) and this was far better and a lot more fun.

"The Guides Can Make or Break the Architecture Tour"

We went on the Architecture Tour which in itself is a great experience to see the buildings and river. You travel through a lock and get great riverside views of the bars and walkways connecting the city. As we found from another tour we took, the guides play an integral role in the experience. Our guide was less than enthusiastic, perhaps dehydrated, and at times rambled and didn't finish sentences or thoughts, like a teacher whose class isn't listening. He tried to be funny in their this is painfully corny way. The part that was most off putting was the commentary on Trump tower in which he essentially called it a building by "you know who", that was supposed to be the tallest but isn't, and notice the name. It wasn't part of the original design. It was put there simply for giant ego! There is simply no place for it and other political commentary that was sprinkled throughout the tour. I can appreciate his love of Bernie and Biden and other figures that were named for their hotel stays and visits for the city, but it's an architecture tour. We did go on the Extreme Thrill ride and I would highly recommend that. You'll get wet. It was high energy and engaging.

Totally fabulous experience!! The views were amazing and the commentary by Lily, our guide, was fantastic!! She was so knowledgeable! After the history and great photo opps on the Chicago River, the boat took off at top speed across Lake Michigan. Best of both worlds…calm and informative, then fast and thrilling. I highly recommend!!
