The big plus for us, visiting Chicago as tourists with a teenage granddaughter and not knowing our way around, was using the bus as transportation. We bought the single day ticket, but you can also do a two day. We picked it up near our hotel and then figured out the closest Big Bus stops (helped by their app) to all of the sights we wanted to see. We crammed as much as we could into a day, but given the expense of taxis and rideshare, it may be as easy (and maybe as economical) to use it for a two day visit if you download the app before you visit and plan what you want to see. The Big Bus tour itself provided some interesting information we would not have known otherwise and gave us a sense of where things were and how far we could walk. If you are looking at it as strictly an informative "all about Chicago" tour I would hesitate. We were there on a weekday and getting on and off at some stops was difficult because there is no guarantee that seats will be available. It all depends on how many people want to get off at each stop. You may not be able to sit together with family or friends, or have to wait for the next bus, which can be as much as an hour. There used to be Big Bus ticket shacks at the various stops, but they figured out it is cheaper to have you buy tickets online and use your phone.

It didn’t take place, the QR code were not working and we couldn’t use our tickets. Very disappointed. Till now I haven’t received my refund.

Best seats are on the TOP! Great tour if you’re on the top level of the bus. We had to change busses and stuck on the inside for 2 legs off the tour. It was difficult to hear the pre-recorded audio when other passengers were talking loudly. Other than that, it was a great tour.
