    This experience was amazing! Captain Paul and his crew could not have been more accommodating. Most of our party guests were boat owners themselves and all were singing Captain Paul's praises at the end of the night especially considering the reasonable price to hire the Legend boat with a crew of 4. The bar/bartender Brett was set up outside/top of the boat behind the Captain's chair. The bar has a sizable speaker sitting on top of it with blue tooth connection for us to play our music (and we played it loud). We got a light drizzle at the end of the night but everyone stayed dry due to the boat's hard top. The interior of the boat is very nice and has 2 bathrooms. There were 2 other crew to help with any of our guests needs (boarding, etc). This party was an after dinner surprise cruise for my husband's 50th birthday. He was blown away by the experience and you will be too!

    Paul and his crew were great! We hosted a 30 person birthday cruise down the river and had a great time!

    Are you handicapped accessible?

    We try to accommodate people with disabilities as much as we can. We do have stairs to access our dock. On our boat the there are narrow stairways to the upper deck and to the cabin area. Normally people who cannot walk need to be carried on board.… Read more

I wish the audio was a little bit louder on that level due to the sound of the fans and people talking. If you like my reviews, consider "following" my profile for reviews all across the SF Bay Area . Why "follow" someone? It causes the person you follow's reviews to tier to top when you pull up a business. I find this very handy when researching venues. Rod's Review grading scale explained. Essentially I personally base it on the likelihood of a return visit and I try to be stingy with 5 star reviews since they should be "special" in my eyes. Price/Value also play a role obviously but there are $ and $$$$ littered across my grading scale. 5 stars - "I'll go out of my way" (approx 6 % of my reviews) 4 stars- "If I was in the area I'd go here and would recommend", (approx 38% of my reviews) 3 stars "Maybe if was nearby", (approx 37% of my reviews) 2 stars -"Would likely not return, Only if you want to go", (approx 16% of my reviews) 1 star -"No thanks, even if I was hungry", (approx. 3 % of my reviews)

    Highly recommend!…read more Easy to book online. Came in early June, 12:00pm reservation. I had booked a tour a year before but had to cancel last minute due to illness and they refunded me 100% the day before. Line started 30 minutes before the departure time so get there early if you want a specific spot. Chairs on top as well as some benches on the side. Seating area downstairs, bar, and complimentary water, lemonade, coffee/ tea. Nice bathrooms on board. Ed was an amazing tour guide, very knowledgeable and Chicago local who knows his history of the city!! Informative and funny! *Note: This is the only tour I've been on so I have nothing to compare it too. Some of the other tours looked bigger, I would probably try another one next time just to compare.

Mind blowing enormously tall. Alot of humor and details on rental price @$400,000 a year. Famous people like Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey lived here. Willis seats tower 100 stories tall 1,052 in the Windy City Sky! It's the tallest! there are 37 drawbridges on the main branch river. That's all the facts in my head could remember. The river is alive! The buildings taller than Sequoia redwood trees or Oregon Douglas Fir. Glass, concrete and steel in assorted shapes - seemingly alive like a living tree. I feel the energy of the river and the buildings standing tall. Worth the moolah.
