Great tour! We had a very pleasant tour which was informative and relaxing. We saw the many sights of Chicago and our tour guide, Rico, was great!
Rick was an amazing tour guide. We had a great time. Would do it again.
Great experience. It felt like a private tour. Highly recommend to see things that you normally dont
Excellent experience. Alan was simply magnificent. Explained details of all the sightseeing spots across chicago.
This was a great tour! Highly recommended for when the weather is lousy or if someone in your group has mobility issues. Avery was awesome! He was entertaining and informative. Some tours are dry and boring, but not this one. We could have happily driven around listening to him talk about Chicago all day. Thank you Avery!
Avery was our tour guide and was incredible from start to finish! He was so knowledgeable, funny, and helpful. We had a blast, he had such a memorable way of delivering the tour. We would definitely recommend him and the tour!
Cliff was so knowledgeable about Chicago. He was very interesting and I enjoyed hearing all the fun facts that are Chicago. I highly recommend this tour
Positive: Clean bus, easy location at the Palmer Hotel which made bathrooms available, interesting sites and enough time to leave bus to see them close up. Negative: The guide used inappropriate language, told stories about his drunken experiences, told too many gruesome stories that did not relate to what was being seen, a few jokes are ok but way too many, insulted passengers but calling them "freaks', questionable historical facts, was more negative than positive about the city.
It was a great tour. Avery, our guide was awesome providing a lot of history and information as we drove around the cit6.
I'm a Chicago resident but I wanted a tourist experience for our 18th anniversary celebration. It was absolutely amazing and I look forward to an opportunity to another experience. Thank you Avery was very knowledgeable and friendly. I have never toured the Rookery it was opulent and breathtaking. Thank you
