Everyone was having a good time as we turned around and headed towards Lake Michigan. Lake Michigan gave amazing views to the entire skyline. Not too far away the Navy Pier could be seen. I was excited about taking the Sunset Cruise. If you haven’t noticed from previous posts, I like taking boat rides! The cruise was educational mixed with a real good time!

Unlike our traditional tours, our cruises do not include a narration, but a tour guide is on board to answer questions about Chicago’s history and architecture. Wendella offers the greatest variety of cruises to ensure our guests are provided with a unique and unforgettable Chicago experience. There are tons of skyscrapers and unique looking buildings. You can see them in many ways, but one of the best ways is by cruising the Chicago River and Lake Michigan.

There are many cruises to choose from, but I highly enjoyed the Sunset Cruise that Wendella Boats offers.

The architecture is so beautiful in Chicago. I wish the speakers on the boat were a little louder so that I could hear everything the guide was saying clearly about each building. On the lower level of the boat there was more seating. There was also a bar with drinks (alcoholic and non) and snacks being sold.

The guide said the second beer would be cheaper than the first. I think that enticed people even more to have even more of a good time. The wind wasn’t as high and I felt closer to the sights. I kept walking from the port side to the starboard side for all the different views the boat had to offer. We also went by the Buckingham Fountain and were able to view the water light show for a few minutes.
