We were only in Chicago for a few hours and this was a really good way to see downtown and the bus drivers were very entertaining.

Not worth the $41 we paid. The tour guide didn't go into much detail about buildings, explained obvious information ("To the left is this venue, where events are held! Gasp! ). Pretty sure this tour has paid ads in the "guide". Some of the buildings we drove by were explained to have a specific chain store where we can buy that chain's food. Not very useful when trying to learn the history/architecture of the building. The sound quality of the speakers was also terrible. Tour is only given in English, with no options for any other language. We received advice from someone on the bus to use another companies app for an audio tour in the language we wanted. Also, the bus was packed, not matter where we hopped on/off. A lot of people were standing on the bottom level and there was no AC, ridiculously hot.

This is a great way to see many landmarks and to learn interesting stories about the city bee had several guides as we used the bus for a few days. The guides are a great source of information and can give you suggestions on places to eat, things worth seeing,etc. After a long walk in the city, the bus is a great way to relax and just sit back and enjoy the views.
