It started out great and then it went south really quickly. They blocked off the ramp on the return to Navy Pier and caused us to have to detour and circle back. The traffic was horrible so the bus eventually pulled over in town to let us off. We had to use the GPS to find our way back by foot which was a 30 minute walk back to our car. Also, if you are riding up top be careful because my son got whacked in the eye by a tree branch, I got hit with a few in my head, and beetles were flying into the top of the bus near the planetarium.

The “panoramic” night tour is not panoramic and there’s two hours of my life I’ll never get back. Bus drove around big buildings, that’s about the best I can say about it. No live guide, just a canned recording —with juvenile sounding Minnie and Mickey Mouse voices and cheesy sound effects—that did not match up with anything, and giving useless trivial facts about Chicago. Everyone was clueless as to what we were looking at. Nor does it stop anywhere so you’re on the bus for the entire time. Has I been able to, I would have exited after 10 minutes. If I could give zero stars I would, and request a refund.

The night panoramic tour was a huge disappointment. The 75 min tour was done in 60 mins. Because it was rushed the audio did not match the sights. Very confusing. The driver never warned about low branches and we were hit in the face several times. The audio used same jokes and stories as the day trip not worth the money and I feel we should be credited for the evening ride.
