My guest today is Andrew Sargis, Director of Sales and Chief of Operations at both Chicago Water Taxi and Wendella Tours & Cruises. Family-owned and operated since 1935, Wendella is Chicago’s Original Architecture Tour, and offers the greatest variety of tours and cruises on the Chicago River and Lake Michigan. Wendella also owns and operates the Chicago Water Taxi, which provides transportation along the Chicago River.
If you’ve never taken one of their tours, buy a ticket. If you have, buy a ticket. It’s easily one of the most Chicago experiences you can get and it’s different every time. My personal favorite is the Chicago River Architecture tour, but I’ll leave links in the show notes for you to check out all they have to offer.
In this episode Andrew not only shares insights on how a 90 year old business tied to the city’s history operates, I learned he is quite a historian himself as he dives into the history of the Chicago River and the role it continues to play in Chicago’s economy.
I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did!
