The Big Bus is the most economical way to travel around city attractions. The drivers are great and deserve tips.

This was the worst Big Bus Tour ever. This was an audio guided tour; which could have been my fault. I don't recall having the option to select a "live" guide. The tour need a "live" tour guide. Not sure what I was suppose building or sites I was suppose to be looking at. The audio guide was to hard to follow despite maximum effort. There were alot of riders sleeping during the tour. It's a great alternative to rideshare and the subway if you want to go to other attractions around Chicago. Other than that, I would recommend this particular tour if visiting. I had a great experience with out Big Bus Tours in other cities, so I assumed this would the same great experience. Next time, I'll read the reviews😬.

This is a great way to get around the city and hop off at different places to do your own exploring. I was a little disappointed the “tour guides” don’t really talk or tell you about the city. You hook into an audio box and listen to music and the recording gives your some detail. However, I’ve done these tours in other “destination” spots and it’s always so fun to hear from the locals. Even missed out on the trolley humor. :) However, again, it was a great way to see the city between 10-5.
