On time with great narration. We enjoyed learning more about the buildings and seeing them from another vantage point.

Our driver and guide, Rick, was very informative and accommodating. I really appreciated that he called the day before to give us the option to reschedule due to projected rain … it worked out great! The mini bus was clean and comfortable, our stops gave plenty of time for photos, and we got a great overview of the city. Highly recommend.

My sister and I visited Chicago for the 1st time the weekend after Thanksgiving. The weather was cold. We enjoyed the tour very much. We lucked up and took the tour on a Sunday. We were able to avoid the crowd from the previous day. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable. He gave up several photo opportunities and was very pleasant. I also found it very nice that they were able to pick us up from our hotel, though it wasnt on the list of hotels that they pick up from. Highly recommend!

We were very grateful to the tour guide that he waited for us, since we were running about 10 min late. Unfortunately, the tour was much shorter than I thought it would be. It was only 1.5 hours and it was not very informative. It was: look at the right side, here is this building, look at the left, here is this building. There was basically no history of the city, other than 5 min combined about Chicago fire, Valentine's day massacre and how Chicago got its name. That was it. I was very disappointed.

Rick was a fantastic tour guide - very personable, knowledgeable, and super funny! The smaller van tour is great! We got to know the fellow passengers, and Rick managed to interact with all of us the entire time!
