Best River tour! - 10/10 boat tour! Andy was hilarious and very knowable about all of the buildings on the river. He even walked around and took anyone who wanted a picture. This tour made all the other boat tours we passed look boring!

A thrill of a tour - We went out on the Seadog on the last sailing of the day. It was a beautiful day but had gotten a bit cloudy before our departure so I was a little worried about rain. We lucked out and the clouds made for some wonderful skyline pics. We started with a speedboat run around the shoreline with music blasting, it was great. (Ladies, put your hair up so you don’t have to deal with the detangling chaos I went through when I got home!) Then we went through the lock to get into the Chicago river. Yessica was our tour guide and she was so knowledgeable about the buildings and had lots of fun facts about the city. It was really neat to go from daylight to nighttime skyline by the end of the tour. The staff were all kind and helpful and were clearly having some fun as well. It was a great end to our one day in Chicago

Family & dog friendly tour ride - We did the 75 minute tour at 1:15pm yesterday (5/14/78). Jake was our tour guide, Jamie was cruise manager & Sam was first mate. Great cruise down the Chicago River. Jake was VERY knowledgeable & did a great job. I would do a tour ride again with these guys.

What a thrill! - Yessica, our guide, was excellent. Learned lots about the buildings along the Chicago river. Great character! All staff friendly and helpful. The highlight was the speedboat ride onto the lake! Fantastic. Thoroughly recommend.

Loved Seadog Lake and River cruise! - Seadog was a treat. So glad we chose them to cruise the river. Andy, skunk and the captain were very pleasant and provided more than a few belly laughs while teaching us so much about the river and city it snakes through. Even had out teen giggle along which is quite a tough task. 5 out of 5 stars. Thanks Andy and crew!
