The usual sights were great. Millennium Park, the Water Tower and sights of the city. Our first and third drivers were fun and spoke clearly. A thunderstorm rolled in and staff at the Millennium Park stop made sure those who were waiting out the storm got on the next bus.

Sadly this was supposed to be a lovely morning in Chicago before we left but this tour (and subsequent customer service conversation) really left left us with a bad taste i our mouths about Chicago Big Bus Tours. We found the driver to be really curt, downright rude and not very friendly. THEN and this was what really made the tour USELESS was that they played the wrong audio at the wrong times. The audio was played AFTER It is NOT a GPS activated system and therefore the driver has to hit a button (we started downstairs as the bus was full. This is also where we observed her rude behaviours). So life goes on and when I talk to the CSR they say we should have just taken the tour again and so sorry and your feedback will be shared. No acknowledgement of not meeting the expectations for the tour AND what was hilarious was telling us to get off and get on the next bus or take the tour again. We had 3 hours in Chicago that AM and taking the tour again was not an option. Very unhappy.

Thank you for providing this information so we can improve upon our services. We hope to hear from you soon. Big Bus Tours Chicago

This isn’t one of the better hop on/off tours I’ve been on but it was sufficient. We had one rude driver (end of a long day maybe) but all in all, it was good. The buses were on time. It’s much better than driving in traffic and looking for parking. Much better signage for designated stops for waiting is needed.
