      Beautiful views of the waterfront with details of history and each of the buildings while relaxing and sipping on a beverage! The fireworks were amazing and the 3D glasses took it to another level! Highly recommend for all ages!

      Great experience

      Trip to lights
      Reshma_D, Aug 2023
      It was wonderful experience . We love this trip. It was memorable day. My grand daughter enjoyed alot
      Not good for firework viewing
      Rebecca_J, Aug 2023
      To tour itself was good but we could not see the fireworks at all. So if you are booking this just for the fireworks like we did, I would look for another tour. We were parked behind cargo containers and an electrical yard that blocked more than half of the show. Unfortunately we would only see the few higher fireworks and almost none of the finale
      Amazing Time
      Howard_S, Aug 2023
      We had an amazing time on the boat. The staff was extremely friendly and we couldn’t have been more pleased.
      Beautiful city
      Tara_F, Aug 2023

      My experience
      Christia_P, Jul 2023
      The most memorable part of my experience was the fireworks. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. Definitely a night to remember
      Fantastic fireworks and architecture tour
      Bronlyn_W, Jul 2023
      My early elementary aged daughter and I enjoyed this boat tour very much. The wait time to board was reasonable and the boat was very clean. We (along with everyone else) had a fantastic view of the fireworks. We had a knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide who told us about the history and architecture of the buildings along the river. We had a wonderful time - so much that my daughter announced that she wants to be an architect when she grows up.
      Must do on a warm Saturday night in Chicago

      Meeting other people and sharing the fireworks with others. The pre fireworks tour of the river was very informative: great tour guide.
      Worth the experience.
      James_B, Jul 2023
      The excursion itself was interesting. The view of the architecture from the river is awesome. The firework display was alright. The 3-D really does not come into virtual effect. They give you a pair of old school paper glasses but all you do is hold them for 2 and half hours. The fumes from the boats were a little unpleasant. Nevertheless it was still worth the experience.
      Great Time

      The firework show and the yacht rock music And the friendly staff. Amazing!!! We sat on the bottom of the bottom and you really get a different more closeup experience of the ocean.
      Leave it to the tourists.
      Comonieck_B, Jul 2023
      For the experience it was just too many seats, everyone was sitting close together and it was entirely too tight of space. You could not walk to get anywhere without bumping or squeezing by someone. The commentator was talking about something we could not understand all night because the mic was awful and extremely low. Though they stated for parents to watch their kids and there was no running, well kids were running all over the place. The fireworks were nice, the night was beautiful and the boat ride was very smooth. I would not do this boat ride again, it’s definitely more for tourist than a Chicagoan.
      Great view of fireworks
      Leslie_M, Jul 2023
      Beautiful fireworks display-guide Asra(spelling?) was great! Only wish there was more music during downtime in lockek
      Never again!!!
      Kawther_A, Jul 2023
      Do not depend on their information. We missed our boat ride because the link in the email took us 25 min in the wrong direction! We had kids with us and walked along the pier passing all the docks and no one knew where to direct us. The address does not show up correctly thru the link and the gps doesn’t even have it as an option, it automatically takes you to N Wacker instead of E Wacker. By the time we found the right dock the boat had left! The kids were upset, tired and disappointed!! This ruined our first experience in Chicago. We also requested handicap access, we had a wheelchair and that was not addressed in the email at all. We were a party of 12, we all lost our tickets and experience.
      Great Date Night
      Sara_L, Jul 2023
      What a spectacular experience! My husband and I loved every minute. We enjoyed the information and history that was shared with us. The music was great as were the fireworks! I highly recommend.
