Wendella West Docks (3 & 4) — Local services in Chicago

The city.... beautiful. Tour.... amazing. Information.....great. the tour guide....mmmmm. her first statement was to keep the talking to a minimum. But little did we know she was gonna police anyone who strayed their attention from her. As much a chuckle or a selfie would cause her to pause mid sentence so she can walk towards you, shoot you a look only an evil step mother could master, then continue her speech so everyone would know you were causing a disturbance in her art of touring. I've haven't felt like I was in trouble for talking since middle school math class. She just gave off "principal on a power trip" vibes.

They serve alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages, and little bit of snacks for some relaxing time while the tour guide entertains you. A shout out to John, the tour guide....
