Buyer beware! I would leave a lower rating if possible. This company oversells tickets and then refuses to provide refunds. I have done the hop-off tour and found that you are lucky to get seats at times but what is beyond excuse is the evening tour where only one bus runs. They sell more tickets than there are seats in the bus. If you arrive after seats are taken, they don’t care. There is not another bus. They say come another day. Come within the next 6 months. They tell you to go to the website for a refund but they will only give you the run-around on the website. There are no refunds. That is no solution if you are on vacation. You have options when buying tour tickets. Beware of this one! With lots of tour operators in Chicago, you can see the city without being defrauded.

The most memorable was FINALLY getting on the bus (long wait 1hr😦); Enjoyed the narration & music (once I adjusted to it not being a live person); Enjoyed the entire loop tour (we decided to stay on for the whole experience)😊 Dislikes: Did not like the app. It did not provide specifics regarding pick up in writing. It was only in map form😱 Once we arrived at Milennilum Park, we walked along Michigan Ave. looking for BB signage. We saw a Big Bus stop @ the Symphony Center and we walked in that direction. That's when we saw the Big Bus Sign. A BB worker walked up waited. He offered no directions unless we asked. Once the BB arrived, I had my ticket on my phone. I did not know I had to show it to the BB worker until the driver said so. Alot of unknowns for people who like clear directions. Kindly make app people friendly with 'written' points for preparation.

The view from top of bus and learning the history behind the skyline. My granddaughter's dream of seeing the bean in millennium park and that wish was fulfilled through this tour.
