I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Shoreline Sightseeing Boat Tours, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. From the captivating Architecture Tour to the breathtaking Skyline Lake Tour, every moment was filled with wonder and excitement.Our tour guide on the Architecture Tour was not only knowledgeable about the city's rich architectural history but also kept us entertained throughout the journey with fascinating anecdotes and trivia. It truly enhanced the entire experience.I was pleasantly surprised to find blankets for sale on the architecturetour, ensuring that even on cooler days, guests can stay cozy and comfortable while taking in the sights.Additionally, the variety of beverages available for purchase onboard is impressive, ranging from wine and various alcoholic drinks to hot chocolate. This thoughtful touch adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience, allowing guests to sip on their favorite drinks while cruising along the beautiful shoreline.Overall, Shoreline Sightseeing Boat Tours exceeded my expectations in every way. The combination of informative narration, comfortable amenities, and stunning views made for a truly unforgettable adventure. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore Chicago's architectural wonders...

No ice cream, cotton candy, Italian, and sausage combos to eat while on the boat ride. Hey, I'm a visitor, and I want to experience the taste and sounds of Frank Sinatra's kind of town, Chicago !! .
