We took the whole 2 hour tour to see Chicago and get an idea of where we would like to stop. It was great, thanks our tour director and bus driver. James and Rich. Excellent. We took the tour again the next day to actually hop off and see some sights. Lincoln and Gerry were also excellent as a tour director and a bus driver. Great job guys!! Thanks One exception was no WiFi on the bus for either trip

We'd highly recommend a Hop On Hop Off to get your bearings. We started at the stop near Lou Mitchells's and had to wait about 15 minutes. We did the whole thing and then didn't need to get back on again. Highly recommend as you learn so much. We got told to visit Cindy's rooftop bar which is a bit of a hidden secret and great views.

The bus tours were a great way to see the city and meet and talk to people from all over the country. I rode many times in August and was very entertained by all the tour guides. The bus drivers were kind and helpful when asked questions by us tourists. My favorite employee that I met was Steve, a bus driver who was super cute and friendly. Any other time I would've given him my number but didn't because he was working and didn't want to hold up the line of getting off the bus. LOL I was affectionately called Ms.Miami because of where I'm from and this was overall a neat experience. If Steve reads this, "Hey from Miami!" I wonder if he's single.
