Antoine was awesome. He was of course knowledgeable about the city but his delivery really expressed his love for Chicago. The experience would not have been as enjoyable without him. I did not like the recorded version experience from the other bus drivers. Wearing headphones is not ideal. When on the bus with Antoine, we were also able to engage with other riders. He was the best!!!
