We did a two day pass. I had trouble finding a pick up on the first day but the transportation was good. The 2nd day the bus was running behind and it took forever to get to our destination. Some drivers were engaging but some didn’t even let you know what stop we were at. So overall an ok experience.

Hi Melanie! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will certainly use it to enhance our services. We’ve now included the addresses for each of our stops, along with a photo to give you a better idea of what to expect. We hope you’ll consider trying us again, whether in a different city or right here in Chicago. Wishing you a fantastic weekend!

This experience would have been much better is the driver could share the significance of the landmarks instead of just telling us what they are. That automatic audio process should be scraped! It was terrible. It was a bunch of general information and added no value as we stopped at the major landmarks.

Hello Decie! We’ve made a switch to an expert recorded-commentary system instead of using live tour guides. This update allows us to provide a consistent and high-quality experience for all our guests. We’re sorry to hear about the audio issues you encountered, and we appreciate your feedback as it will help us improve. We’d love for you to give it another shot in a different city or in Chicago. Have a wonderful weekend!

Fun time. Not to much to say. You get what you pay for. Traffic is always busy so so parts are slow. Really shouldn’t make people write so much.
