This tour was a great overview of all the top spots to see in Chicago. Rick was very friendly. I would recommend this tour as a starting point for your Chicago trip. There are other tours that go into greater detail about sites.

Rick was well informed, enthusiastic and very funny. He kept us laughing in between sites. I traveled from Puerto Rico to spend Mother's Day weekend with my daughter and this was one of the highlights of my first visit to Chicago.

Of all the tourist stuff we did during our week in Chicago this minibus tour was the most fun. As in laugh aloud fun. Saw many uniquely Chicago places. The minibus has super large windows so you can actually see the skyscrapers. The driver was very knowledgeable and fun.
