This was a fun and informative experience that we have wanted to do for a long time. The tour guide was knowledgeable, personable, and really tailored the experience to the interests and personalities of the group. Lots of opportunities for photos and selfies. Highly recommended both for people new to the city or who just want to learn more about it.

Great Experience.

It was a really good tour with a superb guide. Got to see so much and the bus was really comfortable and clean. Would recommend !

highly recommend this mini bus tour

Published on Jan, 2025

Yesterday I took a two-hour mini bus tour of Chicago, and it was a fantastic way to get a quick overview of the city's most iconic landmarks and neighborhoods. Our guide, Rick, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Chicago's history and architecture. He shared fascinating stories and insights about the buildings we passed, pointing out hidden gems and interesting details that I would have missed otherwise. The bus itself was clean and comfortable, and the small group size allowed for plenty of interaction and questions. Rick was very approachable and made sure everyone felt welcome and included. I highly recommend this mini bus tour to anyone visiting Chicago for the first time or looking for a concise and engaging introduction to the city. Rick's expertise and enthusiasm made the experience truly enjoyable and memorable.

It was a little bit of everything

Published on Jan, 2025

Learned about the city, history of the city, buildings, streets. It was nice that the driver made stops for us to take pictures. He was very friendly and funny. He was insightful in telling us places to go see and to go eat.
