Such a fun and engaging tour! The E-bikes were a blast to ride and we saw so much of the city I’d never seen before. Clark was a phenomenal tour guide and I highly recommend to anyone looking to see the city from a whole new perspective.
Thank you so much, Rebecca! I'm really glad you had such a great time. One of my favorite parts of leading these tours is showing guests places and viewpoints that many people don't even realize are here, even after multiple visits to Chicago. I'm happy you enjoyed the e-bikes and the stories along the way. It was a pleasure having the three of you on tour, and thank you for taking the time to recommend us. We hope to see you again on your next visit to Chicago!
very fun and a relaxing way to see the city; i would highly recommend; my guide was great and i learned some interesting facts about Chicago i did not know
Thank you for the wonderful review, Ann! We're so glad you enjoyed exploring Chicago by e-bike. It's a fun, comfortable way to cover a lot of ground while still taking time to learn about the city's history, architecture, and a few hidden gems along the way. We appreciate your recommendation and hope we'll have the chance to ride with you again in the future!
It’s awesome! You learn a lot about Chicago, even if you have been there a lot of times before, and you will get your exercise, too! Will was an amazingly knowledgeable guide!
Thank you so much for the fantastic review, Vanessa! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tour and discovered new things about Chicago, even as a repeat visitor. One of the best parts of exploring the city by e-bike is covering so much ground while hearing the stories, history, and hidden details that make Chicago such a special place. We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to Will. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and love for Chicago have made a lasting impression on many of our guests, and we're glad he helped make your experience memorable. Thanks again for riding with us, and we hope to see you back in Chicago for another adventure soon!
I wanted to love this experience, but a few execution flaws made that difficult. The operator does not size your bike. They also didn't adjust seats or handlebars, just started us off and within a block we stopped to do those things because riding is difficult if you don't. Additionally, we had 3 women and 1 man but only 2 women's bikes. I volunteered to take the extra male bike as I have ridden ebikes before where the other two women had not. Big mistake. Even with the seat all the way down it was too tall for me. I could only touch my tiptoes down when stopping, and because these bikes are HEAVY (imma guess 25lbs or more), this led to the bike falling over on me at multiple stops. My legs are literally black and blue. Speaking of stopping, given the poorly sized bike, it helps to know when the group is stopping so I could maneuver the bike carefully. Our guide was very unclear on his directions which caused the worst of my falls. Overall would not recommend even though I love biking and the tour stops. My photos bely my experience. It's just dangerous to operate in the way they are for the ebike tour. It should be a couple of simple fixes though to get it right.
Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback regarding your experience. I’m genuinely sorry to hear aspects of the e-bike portion of the tour did not meet expectations. Comfort, confidence, and proper bike fit are extremely important on our tours, and your comments regarding sizing, seat adjustments, and communication during stops are being taken seriously and reviewed internally with our team. In fact, several of the concerns you raised became part of our guide training discussions this morning as we continue refining our e-bike tour setup and communication procedures. We do offer multiple bike styles to better accommodate riders, and your feedback provided valuable operational perspective on ways we can improve the pre-tour fitting and setup experience for guests moving forward. While many guests enjoy our e-bike experiences, we understand that your experience fell short in several areas, and we appreciate the constructive nature of your review and the opportunity to improve our processes. I’m glad you still enjoyed seeing parts of the city and some of the tour stops, and I appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective.
Fantastic way to see Chicago! The e-bikes made the ride effortless, and Clark’s energy and local insights made the tour both fun and memorable. A perfect mix of sightseeing and adventure!
Hi Kara, Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m thrilled to hear you enjoyed exploring Chicago on our e-bikes. They really do make it easy to soak in all the sights while having a little fun along the way. It was a pleasure riding with you, and I’m glad the local stories helped make the experience memorable. Hope to see you back for another Chicago adventure soon!
Mike was very knowledgeable and entertaining. First time on e-bike was so much fun! Thanks Mike for a great experience!
Mike was our tour guide and he was awesom! It was our first time in Chicago and he took us to the best places with awesome views. He had a wealth of knowledge on the local history too!!! Thanks for a great ride Mike
My teen and I did the 3 hour e-bike tour with Mike and had so much fun! We were the only ones on the tour that day. We went all the way up to Lincoln Park and down south past the museums. Mike was a great guide, taught us some interesting history, pointed out the architectural sights and made sure we stayed safe. Definitely recommend!
