Comments about Smart Destinations Shoreline Skyline Boat Tour:

All you're paying for is to be on the boat and listen to a tape. The only thing that makes this tour worth it is the view.

Great views from the Sea
By Lawrence Verified Reviewer from Manchester England on 4/4/2011
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Smart Destinations Shoreline Skyline Boat Tour:

If you do not do any of the other tours then I am sure you would give this 5 stars but as this was the last tour we did it did not have the 'umph' that the other ones did as we had been spoilt!! It is still a great thing to do as the view from the sea looking back at Chicago is fantastic.
