About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- G1369XDchristopherc0 contributionsRomantic Valentine's Day Brunch CruiseOur cruise was on a Saturday morning, the day following Valentine's Day. The cruise was delightful with a peaceful atmosphere, comfortable climate controlled cabin, two outdoor decks for viewing and photo-ops, and an amazing attentive staff. Our waitress Heather was kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. In addition, the staff, including our architecture tour guide and the kitchen behind the scenes, were also professional in that I noticed all the guests around were moving through the three-courses of their meals smoothly.Written March 2, 2025
- QueenLyons0 contributionsWinter Birthday GetawayMy husband took me on a birthday getaway to Chicago and this was one the activities. The service was simply amazing. The food and environment was immaculate. I came home and tried to remake that chicken....!!! Huge shout out to the to both servers and the ship manger. There was even an DJ. WE HAD THE BEST TIME I am sure that I am messing up these names but I tried..Reba, DabneyWritten February 25, 2025
- B5926XQlindseyb0 contributionsCity Experiences is a scamI tried to book tickets for the Midway in San Diego through the City Experiences website. We tried multiple times but the website would always freeze after clicking submit on the payment. We gave up and bought tickets on site. The next day I checked my bank account and the company had charged me for the tickets 4 times. Totaling $352. I immediately reached out to them and they assured me since the charges were pending it was just a glitch and they would not go through. They also showed no record of me buying tickets The next day they posted to my account. I've called everyday since then trying to get my money back and they just keep telling me the accounting team has to review it and determine if I get my money back. They won't let me talk to a supervisor. They said the accounting team doesn't have outside phone lines so I can't talk to them. So as of now they have stolen $350 from me and will not tell me if or when I will get it backWritten February 12, 2025

- feckerdoc0 contributionsDidn’t happen-and it got worse!!!!! Non-existent customer service.What a disgraceful and shameless shambles. I received an email informing me that the cruise had been cancelled. There was a link to offer me a refund but it didn’t work. There was a phone number and after a six minute call, when I did eventually get to speak to a human being, I was cut off in mid sentence. In desperation, I went to the City Experiences kiosk twice but the staff there were unable to offer me a refund. Two emails to the company went unanswered. Apart from the disruption and inconvenience of having to visit the kiosk twice, I also had the added expense of having to use roaming in order to phone the company which, as described above, was a complete waste of time. Do not touch with a bargepoleWritten October 1, 2024

- Brion C0 contributionsFun architectural cruiseGreat fun! Captain Cool J and the guy with the mic, sandy were great. Knowledgeable and quirky. Did a great ride and the Chicago River and then a nice, speedy ride out on Lake Michigan. I would definitely recommend Seadog for a fun 75 minutes.Written September 18, 2024

We got to meet Captain Bianchi in the bridge - had a wonderful conversation with him. It was a super experience.Written September 11, 2024
- ruthlP8972CA0 contributionsWhy are the boats docked and no one’s here?!Turned up for our paid 9:45pm boat ride to all the boats docked up an no one in site. I’d paid extra just to do it at night. I want a full refund!Written August 14, 2024
- 945jennip0 contributionsAlways a good time on Speed DogEasy check in, friendly staff, person on raft fell out into the water far from shore. Captain stalled to assure that person was ok before leaving area.Written August 12, 2024
- Sightsee7788970 contributionsSpeed BloatSpeed was nice on the lake, but this is a boat ride, not a tour. They just take you out into the lake and point the front of the boat toward the skyline. So, the only people who can take a great photo are those in the front of the boat. The guide was useless. Waste of time and money. Take the other architecture tour if you want to see and learn something. Take this if you want a really overpriced breeze in your hair.Written August 11, 2024
- smetz12340 contributionsBe careful, they will steal your phone.The Bad, kids phone stolen immediately upon arrival. Hours later, returned for a finders fee :( Expensive lodging and food. The Good, beach, biking, nighttime boat / fireworks tour, Wrigley Field, food. Will probably return in a few years.Written July 30, 2024

The Odyssey is a large, sleek vessel with large windows in the enclosed area. The buffet is in the center of the enclosed area with tables all around. When you purchase your ticket you get an assigned table, and can pay extra for a guaranteed window seat. The buffet food exceeded expectations for buffet service and food was available throughout the 2 hour cruise. Endless mimosas included with your ticket. The open air top of the vessel has comfortable seating with fantastic city views. A very enjoyable 2 hour cruise. Went on a sunny, warm day which enhanced the experience.

We had issues with parking which made us get there 1 min before boarding ended and they had already stopped letting people on. There were other people there that said they’d been there for 5 mins and wasn’t allowed on either. And with the no refund policy- our money went down the drain and they are were not willing to work it out. It was a horrible feeling on Mother’s Day.
