I was very disappointed with this because I tried to cancel, but if I cancelled, I wouldn't get my money back. We decided to go on the excursion at 7:30p, but missed it because we could not find the pickup spot. I tried to call TripAdvisor, but didn't get a response then I called bigbus to see where the pickup was, but couldn't get a response. Eventually, we found it. We got there at 7:29. The bus was gone. I wasted $52.

I like to take the touristy buses like this on my first day in a new city. It gives you some general history and info as well as helping you get a good lay of the land for future exploring. Just watch your head for branches if you're sitting on the open top deck!

We boarded the bus Thursday Oct 21 at the Field Museum—stop 7. We were greeted—if you can call it that—by a surly driver who did not offer us headphones. (You can plug them in and listen to a rather silly tour narration. ) For the first half hour our driver did not speak. We did not know his name. We had no narration. Finally we stopped at the Navy Pier stop and we were told to get in a line at the front of the bus to get our tickets scanned by someone stationed at that stop. It took the scanner about 15 minutes to “scan” 3 tickets. Not an efficient process. During this “break” another tourist up front went up to Mr. Silent and asked if he had headphones. The tourist got a handful of headphones and passed them out to everyone on the bus. THEN—our driver went to the River Walk stop and growled the only words he spoke the whole time: “It’s my lunch break. You gotta get off and get on the bus in front of us.” No have a nice day, enjoy the rest of your tour—nothing. But getting on a different bus was a blessing! Anton was our driver. He cheerfully introduced himself and narrated the rest of the tour. It was humorous and informative. He was a wonderful tour guide!!!
