We were traveling with my elderly mother. Our driver was impatient and down right mean. There was no “tour”. We literally sped around town on a bus. We got nothing out of the trip. Second to last stop we changed drivers and the second driver was great. I only wish we had him the whole time. We got a few Chicago facts from him. But that’s it. Complete waste of money. And an awful experience too. Drivers should be friendly and patient. There was no reason for his actions. He yelled at me two times. Horrible. Horrible. Horrible. I can’t say enough bad things about this.

The Big Bus Tour was great for touring the downtown area, especially if you sit in the open air section on top. The only problem we had was that the bus stops aren't always clearly marked where the line should begin. This wasn't really a problem until we wanted to board the bus at Navy Pier. We went to the bus stop and everyone kind of formed a loose line where we thought the bus stop should be. After waiting there for about 20 minutes, a Big Bus employee came over and said that we should form a line behind her. This resulted in people who had just gotten there rushing to the front of the line and those of us who had been waiting ending up further back. So after waiting approximately 30 minutes, the bus arrives and literally the couple in front of us are the last to board which meant that we had to wait another 40 minutes for the next bus to arrive. Not happy! I strongly suggest that Big Bus Tours put up sign clearly signifying where the line should begin so that people who have been waiting longest for the bus are the first to board. Next time, I'll just use Uber or a taxi.

The "tour" was just us trying to get out of traffic, going back and forth to get from one place to another. They had to cut down on hop off spots due to traffic. The "tour bus" operated more like a public transportation that we paid $100 for to get from point A to point B
