Excellent
The canine cruise was perfect! A full architectural tour but you can bring your dog. I was worried because we went out to Lake Michigan and didn’t get back to the Chicago river until 7min before...
The canine cruise was perfect! A full architectural tour but you can bring your dog. I was worried because we went out to Lake Michigan and didn’t get back to the Chicago river until 7min before the tour was suppose to be over. But they continued on the tour on the River even tho we went over the 90min time limit. I was truly impressed by that because I really was going to be disappointed having missed out on the Chicago river portion of the tour.
