Todd GallowayJune 26, 2012Really great tour. There are several right in this area, this one is solid. I can't speak to others but my parents have done Shoreline and one other and preferred Shoreline.
Mabel SoJuly 3, 2019The architecture tour from shoreline sightseeing was wonderful. The boat tour guide is knowledgeable. We went on a sunny day and sitting under the shade makes a huge difference!

MRBJJuly 11, 2013See Silvia on the lower level for a spicy Bloody Mary - nice addition to the morning cruise!
MichaleneMay 16, 2013While on the top deck, don't set your drink on the ledge. It may fall onto a man on the bottom deck.
Stacey KratzMay 5, 2013Tommy the bartender with the gorgeous blue eyes is cute, clever, and a master drink mixer.
Terri ParadowskiJune 23, 2012Kevin is an amazing docent! the trip is fantastic and the harmonica song is the best!
Maddie HJuly 15, 2011Kip was a great guide! Informational and hilarious but not too corny. Kept my attention the whole hour :)
Jeremy RedeniusJune 9, 2013Hopefully you get Zach as the bartender! Makes the drinks worth your while!!
Justeen KellerOctober 10, 2011What a fun ride to where you need to go. Cost us 4 bucks per person, better than taking a cab :)

"Make time for the Tall Ship Windy!! We did the pirate show and it was great. The "pirates" were entertaining and we learned a ton about the Great Lakes piracy history. We'll be back for more."
Dan Moyle
"I prefer the water taxi over the tourist boat rides just because it is a great way to see the city without constant commentary and it is cheap. The taxi shuts down early though so look out for that!"
