Highly recommend taking this tour!!

This boat is amazing! Such an intimate way to get to experience Chicago from the river. The history of the boat and the knowledge this team has is unmatched.

Absolutely spectacular river tour! We were on the last boat of the season and we had so much fun! Really enjoyed the smaller boat size. Saw many other river boats that were packed and it was nice to not be packed.

Great Santa boat ride at sunset. Staff was so friendly!! We had a great time cruising down the River during the holidays with Santa dancing to Christmas music. Outdoor and covered indoor seating was available. Loved the boat and its historic vibes.

This was a special treat for our youngest son's bday (3 years old). Him and his brother (5 years old) were very excited and a little scared since it was both of their first times on a boat. The crew made it an experience to remember! Very friendly and personable to the boys. They had a few things to bring out for the boys to play with too. The tour itself was great. The tour guide, Austin, was very knowledgeable and funny too. He was able to answer questions from other guests as well as my boys, which is a task in itself at times. Austin was even nice enough to give my son a birthday shout out over the PA when we were heading back to the dock. We loved this tour. We are thinking of going back around Christmas when they have a Santa boat tour! Thanks for making our day special Austin and crew!

We always enjoy a boat ride when vacationing near big bodies of water, seeing from the shore just isn't the same. We saw this company while walking along the docks. We were not disappointed! The ride included much information provided by Cliff about the waterway, Lake Michigan, Chicago River, and the varied architecture of the many huge buildings along the way. The trip to the river also requires passing through the lock that I really enjoyed. Be sure to get a spot where you can watch the lock open and see the water equalize the Lock to the next body of water. They also have a good selection of alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages to quench your thirst.

I have had a great time on that tour! Austin, our tour guide, was amazing and so knowledgeable! I am usually not one to be interested in history but he had a lot of fun facts about Chicago that made it such a great tour! I even remembered some facts about the tour after the tour was over, so that says a lot!
If you want to have a great time, you should check out Chicago Fireboat Tours! And hopefully you will have Austin as a guide too! He was super friendly and friendly enthusiastic about the city!

This experience was absolutely heaven sent. The crew was amazing!! They were so polite, pleasant and caring. I took both of my aunt's. And it was ALL of our first time on a boat. So we were a little bit nervous. They mad us feel so comfortable. It was like a family outing. And OMG it was beautiful and informative. I can't believe I live in Chicago all my life and didn't know these places along the river even existed. And learning the history behind these places was amazing. Thanks to our very funny and caring tour guide. He even took time out to come check on his passengers. I definitely recommend everyone come check them out. It was such a great and memorable experience 💖.
