Our electronic tickets were refused. Told us they were for Wendella Went to Wendella and they confirmed tickets were for Shoreline Tours and not Wendella. My wife is handicapped and we were not able to return to Shoreline. We are seeking a refund.

Well worth both the time and $$ to see how positively Chicago has changed over the last ten years or so. And you get to see it physically,from the inside, looking out.

Great tour, lots of history, crew and tour guide are clearly very experienced in running these tours. Even on a cool, rainy, windy Sunday in late April it was worth it!

Used Musement thanks to a 20% off promo via Google Trips. They offered all of the attractions I wanted to do in Chicago at an unseen discount. All of the attractions scanned my phone and it went flawless. Highly recommend!
