A must for a good introduction to Chicago. This bus stops at multiple tourist sites and allows you time to take photos. The tour guide( Hailey) was so knowledgeable and friendly. I learned a lot about the city from her. I really think this mini bus is the most excellent way to get acquainted with Chicago. The bus is clean and comfortable. Well worth the price. I highly recommend this tour.
It was a lot of fun. As it happened I was the only guest on the bus that day so it was like having my own private tour. I felt so special! My tour guide Haley, was AWESOME! Very friendly and helpful and knowledgeable. I truly enjoyed the tour.
This was a great tour! Fun and informative way to see the city on our first visit to Chicago. The minibus was comfortable and convenient. Our guide, Avery, was awesome. Fun, knowledgeable and friendly. Gave interesting information and little known stories and details. Would definitely recommend it!
The Chicago City Minibus Tour was awesome! I loved the small group concept and our tour guide, Rick, did an excellent job narrating key historical points about Chicago. We had opportunities to get off the bus to capture beautiful views of Chicago. I definitely recommend this tour, especially if you prefer a smaller group of people.
Our tour was GREAT! We learned a million things about the city during our time. Avery was knowledgeable, personable, friendly, and assisted us with after tour ideas for the rest our stay. Thank you!!!!
This is the best way to see the city and learn a little bit about its history. I love the way Kaley explained everything. Very knowledgeable.
Kaley was knowledgeable and a great driver. I liked the small size of the van and the nice cold ac!!
The driver was very personable, pleasant and very knowledgeable about the city. We learned a lot about Chicago. On another note, the air conditioner was blowing hot air on an already extremely hot temperature. It was not a comfortable ride for that reason. Please have mode of transportation inspected for a comfortable ride going forward.
This was my first day in Chicago and this tour provided a nice overview of Chicago that included both the downtown area as well a areas beyond downtown proper. This tour included short stops at various locations that allowed us to explore and take pictures. Our guide, Rick had a good knowledge of the Chicago area and had a good sense of humor. He did a good job of managing the Chicago traffic. I especially enjoyed the small group the minibus provided. Easy in, easy out and much more personal than large tour groups. I recommend this tour if you are looking for a good overview of the Vhicago area.
Excellent tour guide with an entertaining history of Chicago.
