I rode on Hop-on-hop-off busses in many countries and this was one my least favorites. First, the wait for the bus was quite long. Second, they do not have earbuds with which you can listen to explanations about the city. Instead, they have a loud person who makes jokes and talks about Chicago in relation to his own experience - not interesting.

Hello Neta_Avivi Thank you for taking the time out to leave us a review. We appreciate all feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience was less pleasing than you thought it would be. In regards to the wait time for the buses, normally our service runs about every 17-24 minutes, but sometimes that can be extended due to the high volume of traffic in such a busy area. We will take the information you've submitted to use it to better our services in the future. We take pride in ensuring all of customers receive exceptional service while with us, despite the short comings we hope you enjoyed your tour overall. We hope that if you return to Chicago you will hop on with us again. Kind Regards, The Big Bus Chicago Team

Well worth the money. Chicago is so huge you need to get basics done. Our tour guide, Jack, was amazing - informative, funny, helpful - made our ride a highlight of visit. One of best hop on hop offs experienced in USA

Alex was an extremely entertaining and informative tour guide. Reggie did an incredible job navigating our bus through downtown traffic. We Began the tour with Alex and hopped off at one of the stops. The next tour guide was very unprofessional and virtually silent along the route. In fact she was so boring we got off at the next available stop. She and the bus driver did not communicate well. She told the upper deck where we were sitting, we could stand up and exit the bus. The bus driver was unaware that we were standing and walking down the stairs when the bus suddenly lurched forward into traffic and I fell and banged my knee. When we later got back on another big bus, we were extremely relieved to see that we were back on Alex‘s tour. He was extremely knowledgeable, funny and helpful!! We Gave a rating of four because Alex deserved a five and the other girl deserved a one.
