Seeing the Chicago skyline from the water Idk why this thing has a 100 word minimum. I feel like that is excessive

Giving 5 stars but couldn’t go on the tour! I had an allergic reaction that morning and my eyes had swollen up. I booked through viatour so I couldn’t go directly to the company to reschedule.
Viatour told me to go to the hospital and provide medical documents that I was indeed having a allergy reaction… I needed Benadryl and rest, it wasn’t life or death but no one wants to go on a tour with eyes swollen in the wind… rescheduling would have been great. But I’m not going to a hospital for it.
Try again some other time just a PSA on the customer service on this third party website

The rumble of the boats engine and birds passing by were all the sounds we heard as the boat followed along the shore. The setting sun changed it's gleaming rays every pass we made. Just a peaceful scene from the normal busy city..
