Very enjoyable trip despite the wind and rain but ponchos supplied to keep you dry. Our guide was Ricardo who was excellent. He combined detailed knowledge of the cities architectures and attractions with humorous anecdotes that made the tour very interesting. Made getting about later much easier. Only minus was that with the rain and wind tree branches in places t were so low to the open deck they had to be dodged and at turns bus sometimes get near to street furniture i.e. lampposts so keep arms and heads inside bus.

mazzillini Thank you for your review! The rain just ends up adding a small layer of adventure and memory to an already amazing tour experience! We are a bit sorry for the misbehaving tree branches...they normally do stay in their place, but the wind does make them shake a tiny bit. Best The Big Bus Tours Chicago Team

We did this tour to kill time since we had a train delay and decided to do this hop on and hop off tour. We had to walk about 3 blocks from our hotel to the check in desk and we got on at stop 1. Our tour guide was Sean who was really nice, funny and knowledgeable about the city. I sat at the top of the bus so I could get good pictures which I did. They had 14 stops on the tour which you could get off and come back and catch another bus. This is a great way to see Chicago because you don't have to worry about parking and get a 2 day pass so you can take your time to see all the major tourists sites and not be stressed out. They from from 9am to 6:30pm so you can do a lot in 2 days. When I come back to Chicago I will be using them again.

Bianca S Train and flight delays are great reasons to explore the city that you're in (not so great for your travel plans though...). We're glad to hear that Sean provided an exceptional commentary while you were able to take amazing pictures of our landscape and skyline. We'll make sure to let Sean know how much you appreciated his tour. Best The Big Bus Tours Chicago Team
