Awesome, friendly and knowledgable host Jay provided a fun experience. Bus was clean and comfy. I liked how she would get everyone interact. She knew her history and then some. If you're visiting Chicago I would definitely recommend taking this tour. So much history in this city. Tommy our bus driver was great too.
