Great trip, Keegan did a great job as the tour guide. Beautiful views of the buildings along the rivers and he was knowledgable of the history of each. read more

Seadog is the best! This is a great way to see the city and learn a few fun and interesting facts about the Chicago Skyline. The tour guides are funny and keep you entertained. Definitely my #1 choice for boat tours in Chicago! read more

Sooooo awesome! I had always seen the boats at Navy Pier and never went on the Seadog cruise till recently and it was a blast! Warning for future Seadog cruise riders: wear comfortable clothes that your don't mind getting wet in! Can't wait to go again! read more

A group of us went for the Saturday night fireworks trip. It was fantastic. The guy with the mic, Dan, was fun and had tons of info about the city. The trip was great, going fast for a long time, and everyone stayed mostly dry. The fireworks were amazing, and we had a perfect spot to watch them. read more

Dan is an amazing tour guide! Not only was he very informative, but he kept it entertaining as well. I would certainly recommend this to anyone looking for an enjoyable experience on the water. read more

Came from Boston and wanted to see the lake and the city. This was a great tour to take. We went for the speedboat ride first. (people behind us were confused they thought it was supposed to be the extreme ride...it is just a fast blast down the lake and back.) Then we went through the locks and up the river. Grant was our tour guide he did a great job! I used to do do commentary on the cape cod train so I can tell you with authority he did a great job. I felt that this was a good tour to see alot of the city in a short time. There was every age group on our ride from kids to grandparents alike. They all enjoyed it! read more

It was easy to get our tickets on line, we went on a Thursday afternoon and there was little waiting! The tour was fun and educational. Grant was an AWESOME tour guide! He really knows a lot about Chicago! read more

My wife and I were in Chicago for her 51st birthday. We usually go about once a year, and have been to the Navy Pier several times. This time we decided to try one of the Seadog Cruises - the Architecture tour. Dan was our host, and he was great! He knew his information well and made the trip alot more fun that just a regular tour. I would highly recommend the tour! read more

Experienced the architectural tour this afternoon. Perfect day. Dan was our guide and was awesome. Great birthday present for me!

I highly recommend the 75 minute cruise with Dan. He's really friendly, entertaining and knowledgeable about the city. He made us laugh a lot. We started with the Thrill ride in the Lake, then the River Architectural Tour and then again (a bonus ride) to the Lake on a high speed. It was worth every penny spent. read more

GRANT was amazing! My family and I went on this cruise to just do something touristy and fun. We ended up learning a lot and had so much fun! In the beginning they take you on a wild ride where you may get splashed on, but only a little! And then we cruised down the river and greeted all the land people, boat people, bridge people and tower people. Grant had us laughing the whole time. Ask for him if you're going on the architecture tour! GREAT EXPERIENCE! I enjoyed Elliot and the Captain as well :) read more

Great tour. A little pricey for my taste. We know to look for deals next time before we show up to Navy Pier.

My fiance and I had a groupon and went on the lakefront speedboat tour. We had such a great time!! Spectacular views of the city and we really did get up to a good speed. Only complaint is that I wish the tour was a little longer. We can't wait to come back next year and try the Extreme Speedboat Tour. read more

Great experience and wonderful entertainment provided by Grant. Whose gamut of information was interesting.

High energy staff members, very large clean and comfortable boat and tons of fun. My 12 year old loved the speed, but the little ones and seniors also enjoyed the music, and friendliness of the staff. The boat stopped three times on our Lakefront cruise, and the guide shared a few facts about the Chicago skyline. The stops did not deter from the overall ride, they were just long enough to catch your breath. Everyone on the boat had a great time. The ultimate tourist attraction - don't miss it! read more

We took the tour yesterday with Grant as our guide. Not only were we shown incredible architecture with facts explaining, we were shown just an excellent time. Highly recommend taking the tour (takes off from Navy Pier) if you can get on Grant's tour. Even if he is a Michigan fan... :) read more

I took my 3 sons, ages 11, 17 & 21, on the architectural cruise from Navy Pier. It was something that interested me and I was afraid they would be bored. However, they had a great time! The guide (Grant) was very funny and kept everyone entertained while educating us on the many beautiful buildings in Chicago. The trip concluded with a very exciting high speed zip over the lake which the boys all found to be thrilling. It was a fun time for all ages. read more

It was a great way to pass time. I went on the thrill ride and it was a real thrill. Everyone was wet and our tour guide was awesome. Name was Elliot and yes he was British and single. Not that I care. All in all it was a great time. read more

We purchased 2 architectural tour tickets online. We would highly recommend that you arrive at least 30 minutes early to get a good seat. To put things concisely, this tour is worth the money. Our guide Elliot, was quirky but entertaining. Be warned, the leather seats are hot on a sunny day when you first take seat. If you sit in the row with the buoy you'll be asked to stand up for a brief moment twice, in the channel when departing and arriving. read more

Took the architectural cruise of the city. Was a lot of fun and exactly what I had hoped for. Our captain Brian/Aaron Miller was awesome and seeing the city from the river is something everyone should do at least once. I was surprised how much cool stuff I learned on the cruise and would do it again in a heartbeat! read more

I was on board for the architectural tour that went through the locks and up the river.. I am a long-time Chicago resident. Jake, the tour guide was very entertaining while presenting a lot of Chicago history. I learned some new facts on the trip. Kudos to Jake for accurately identifying the "James W. Jardine Water Filtration Plant" when asked about the water intake cribs on the lake. Even Channel WTTW doesn't accurately identify it on their lakefront tour show. Thank you from a relative of the first Water Commissioner of the City of Chicago; James W. Jardine! read more

Dan was a great tour guide. He was very friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. The ride was awesome even though it was a little cold. Our family will definitely come back again. Dan Is AWESOME! read more

I got a really good deal through Groupon for the architectural river tour, so I thought we would give it a try. The experience was great! They start off by taking you on a speed boat ride on Lake Michigan and then on a tour down the river. Our tour guide, Grant, was wonderful. He was not only very knowledgeable, but entertaining. I would definitely recommend this for anyone that wants to do something "touristy". Tip: If you sit at the front of the boat, you might get wet when speeding across the water :). read more

We had great fun while taking the river and lake architectural tour!...it was really good!...I got a coupon from Metra,so got the tickets at lower rate ($42 for 2)....the river part was a bit short,due to the time passed in the junction of river and lake for the lock to open!....but our tour guide JAKE made it interesting for us!...he combined facts with fun!...and the last it got to a speedboat mode....and Oh MY!!!!....we got really soaked in lake water!....it was really cool,if you don't mind getting wet (it was summer,so we didn't mind!)....but it was totally adventurous!...I will recommend SEADOG and JAKE!...ARF ARF!!!!....:D read more

We did the architecture and lake tour on the Seadog with Grace as our guide, our 3 boys in tow. Grace did a great job running the tour with interesting facts about the city and the architecture- even my 10 year old son said it was "fascinating". I bought the tickets through Groupon and felt like it was a good value. Definitely recommend for out of Towners, but bring a sweatshirt! It gets chilly- even in summer! read more

Amazing experience! My teens loved it. We did the ultimate thrill ride and got soaked! So much fun!

We went on the 30 minute extreme ride.. you get your moneys worth.. it was awesome.. in a scary way.. and the crew was great.. expect to get wet no matter where you sit... I would do it again.. ! read more

Disappointing. $84 for 2 adults and 1 child for an extremely boring and slow ride 1 mile up and down the shoreline. There is no point to this boat ride, it is neither fast nor informational read more

I was visiting from San Diego a couple weeks ago. Brendan took good care of us, thank you.

One of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. First, I was told they do not issue refunds, so my only choice was to transfer the ticket to someone else. When I called back to transfer the ticket, I was told a refund had been issued, without my knowledge, but there was no refund in my bank account. I've been on a wild goose chase all afternoon, I don't have a refund, and my friend is now getting screwed out of a ticket as well. Pathetic. Will never do business with this company again. read more

We celebrated a friend's birthday by taking the Lake and River Architectural tour. Our narrator and historian (in my opinion) was outstanding!!! Her name is Tela. I have never met anyone so passionate about what she does and she was so engaging with the crowd. She was knowledgeable beyond belief!!! I hope to go on another one but need to find out her schedule!! read more

Seadog Architectural tour is really great. Cale (Kale) is very knowledgeable and entertaining. The tour is 90 minutes and worth the time and money. Kale, Capt. Grant and Mo really knocked it out of the park! read more

Went on the cruise on 9-1 , 1 pm with my son in law on his first trip to Chicago, had a little drizzle of rain at the start but the crew with Billy and the other's name made it all good , Billy was very knowledgeable about the city and made it fun , just wish the boat would go faster when out on the lake, all in all excellent can't to bring the wife next year read more

30 minute lakefront tour was quite lame. Hostess (or whatever you would call her - Guidess?) made really bad jokes that she repeated over and over. Pointed almost NOTHING on the lakefront and with no historical background. Ride is pitifully short. Quite a snoozefest, except she was so annoying to listen to, that you couldn't even catnap. And the music - really? Sweet Home Alabama? That isn't overplayed at all. read more

Fast, fun ride. Great crew, they'll keep you laughing and entertained. Something different to do around town. Check it out.

A great experience and perfect for school age children. Excellent tour guide with the perfect combination of architectural information, history of Chicago, comedy while capping it off with a high speed cruise down Lake Michigan. read more

It was a bit expensive for what you get, but isn't all of Chicago? :) Plus we were on vacation and vacation is a time to splurge and just have fun. The breeze felt great. The tour guide was very entertaining and the music puts you in a definite "fun" mood. The view was of course amazing. I would pay to do it again. read more

The river architectural tour was great! The guide was very into the tour and did a great job showing off the buildings. Chicago is an awesome town. read more

We purchased the Groupon lakefront/river tour as a lot or others have I see. Also like the others we also had Grant as our tour guide, he is great. Not only does he know how to keep it interesting and funny, he is extremely knowledgeable. We too arrived early and sat up front, best seats in the house and it allowed us to interact with our most entertaining tour guide. The only thing any of us could come up with to change would be more river and info time and less lake time. This was our second time on the big yellow boats, the first time was the 30 min. lakefront tour. The next one will be the extreme tour. Thank you so much for such a good time. Randy.. read more

We did the architectural boat tour on a cool day, but Trooper made it enjoyable! Trooper was very informative in a fun way on the buildings as we were going through the city. After going through the city we went back out to the "great" lake for our speed boat part of the tour and again although really cold Trooper had fun with it! Would defiantly recommend Seadog's boat rides and Trooper was a blast as a guide, Thanks for the fun Seadog!! read more
