We had some trouble. No address and called in. Placed many messages. None of them replied. Called Viator and was given the information. We found the address and asked around where to load. Overall, the tour was a great experience.

The website claims wheelchair accessible, however we were forced to walk (and roll) across town back to our hotel when one of the buses had a ramp that did not work. The employee brushed this off “with her years of experience” that it was hot a big deal he could still get on. I don’t blame her for her ignorance, the proof showed itself as we attempted with her help. You don’t know until you live it each day. In the big scheme of things our one encounter does not stop the thousand others from riding. But knowing this was a possibility before we got too far from our hotel being left without another option would have been nice to know upfront.

This was awful! The recorded audio was pumped out of the speakers at very high volume! I couldn't stand it. We bought 2 days worth but didn't use it the second day because of the terrible blaring speakers. Not only was it too loud, but Big Bus has tried to get cute and they play a recording of 2 people talking to each other making jokes and laughing. I ignored a lot of that silliness so then I would miss most of the serious descriptions on the town, which I don't remember being that often. Additionally it's hop on hop off, but only at the stops they use. We could not get off/on at other locations. My partner was partially disabled so it was sometimes impossible to get to places we wanted to see. Fortunately, Chicago has a wonderful public transportation system and we used that for all our future touring. Finally, they have a night time tour which I found to be essentially a repeat of the daytime tour. Not worth it!

Hello Al-Gini, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Good or bad, we appreciate the feedback so that we know where to improve. We apologize that you do not appreciate the recorded commentary and we are taking these comments in to consideration. Regarding only stopping at our stops, due to Chicago ordinance, we can only stop at our registered stops. It is against the law for us to stop any other place other than where we have been given permission to. We apologize for any inconvenience. We do hope you were able to enjoy Chicago and come back and give us another try. Warmest Regards, Cindy R Big Bus Team
