Mike(my dear guests😀), Alisha and Jack were GREAT! It was easy to hop on/off. I'm sure the L might be faster. But, for us, the Big Bus was more enjoyable and we didn't have to figure anything out. Suggestion: turn up the heat for upper deck just a bit.

It's awesome that you chose to ride the Big Bus over the L (though you can have some fun riding the L too!), and without a doubt it does get pretty cold here in Chicago during our winter months, but we're happy you were able to enjoy the tour and your visit overall.

Second to the last route, bus was running 10-15 minutes late. Workers don’t seem to be in any kind of hurry. Last time we were in Chicago, we had a better experience with Chicago Trolley.

Unfortunately, traffic can on occasion cause some residual delays regarding frequency of the buses between our designated station stops. We do our best to rectify that as we can, and for safety reasons we do strive to keep a slower pace so as to give the smoothest tour experience possible.

As Newbies looking to get an overview of the city, we couldn't have been more pleased with Alex, our knowledgeable and entertaining guide, and James, the Houdini of bus drivers, who got us around tight corners, pedestrians, and drivers with ease. We especially enjoyed the top bus section view of the the city. Hopped off at the Navy pier for sightseeing and a meal, and the next bus came in a timely way to continue the tour. We highly recommend this tour.

We're glad you enjoyed Alex's tour information and truly do you hope you'll ride with us again during your next trip to Chicago. Being able to sit on the top section of the bus certainly does give a memorable view of the Windy City.
