Hello UUE514S, Thank you very much for your feedback, we appreciate all comments. We would like to apologize for your recent experience and are sorry to hear that you were less than satisfied with the timing of the buses. We try our best to navigate the traffic and maintain our time, although sometimes things happen along the way that may tie a bus up and it is out of our direct control. However, we will continue to work on this and we do hope you will give us another Hop-On in the future. We will let James and Ava know you enjoyed their tour. Kind Regards, The Big Bus Chicago Team.

We thought this would expedite our Chicago sightseeing while providing some historical background. Although we were told that the buses come by every 15 minutes- we waited on average 45 minutes at several stops. The tour guide was personable but provided very little information other than they were part of a service industry and relied on tips. Towards the end of the afternoon the buses were packed. Those of us fortunate to be standing in the aisles just shook our heads in pity when the driver would tell the large group waiting at another bus stop that another bus would be there in 15 minutes.

Hello 741mariannek, First, thank you very much for your feedback, we appreciate all comments. We would like to apologize for your recent experience and are sorry to hear that you were less than satisfied with the timing of the buses. We do agree that it is unacceptable to wait that long and again we do apologize. We try our best to navigate the traffic and maintain our time, although sometimes things happen along the way that may tie a bus up and it is out of our direct control. However, we will continue to work on this and we do hope you will give us another Hop-On in the future. Kind Regards, The Big Bus Chicago Team!
