This was an excellent way to explore Chicago and hear about the history of the city. We did hop on and off, and had three different tour guides. They were all very knowledgeable and friendly. However we have to do a shout out to Ms. B. She was very personable, informative, and we could see how much she enjoys being a tour guide. We feel our time was well spent and definitely would recommend to friends.

We were in Chicago for a couple of days and not having much time decided to go on an open top bus tour to see as much of the city in as economic a time as possible. Our guide was Lance and he really made our day. Funny, informative and engaged he made the experience a treat and I would have no hesitation in recommending this event to anyone looking to get acquainted with the city.

Bongi and Xio mixed in humor and their knowledge of the City into the tour. I got different tit bits of Chicago's history from both. I followed up the bus tour with a walking tour and capped off my visit with an impromptu Hamilton show. I loved every moment of it well worth $$$. I am planning another trip since I did not get to grab the famous Chicago style hot dog.
