This is a must do! It is worth the money the landmarks was amazing you have to sit up on top to get the full experience . The only reason I am giving it four stars is because the big bus was late 30 minutes and there’s no signs on go to meet at the beginning!

This is a fantastic attraction to do on your first day (or any day) you are visiting Chicago. We rode the entire Loop twice. The 1st time around the constant automated narrative was a bit irritating. I think the same goal (to inform riders about the landscape and history of Chicago), could be accomplished with less "filler" stuff and maybe some breaks of quiet so guests can take in the sites without constant chatter. The 2nd time we rode it the bus driver made all the difference. Alecia broke up the constant chatter of the recorded info. with interesting tid bits that are not included in the Recorded Version. Also, she must have had the volume of the recorded audio turned down a bit, because we could hear it, but it was not as loud, so not as irritating over time. The route the bus takes covers a lot of area. Fantastic scenery and easy way to get the "big picture" of Chicago. Really just a must do attraction when you visit the City. {Travelers Tip: The last stop on the bus 'tour' is "Hard Rock Cafe". Across the street from that is Portillos. I would absolutely recommend you get off the bus and eat there. Fantastic local fare. Casual, fast food - great atmosphere - good prices. A must in Chicago.}

Hello B833XEmargaretm, Thank you for taking the time to give us a review. We are glad to see that you were able to enjoy the tour a couple of times!! We most certainly will let Alicia know how much you enjoyed her engagement, as we can see, that makes a big difference!! We hope you will come back and ride with us again!!
