The driver was very helpful and we had an excellent time. The bus took us to all the local attractions in Chicago and the driver helped us with our decision on where to stop and get off He also told us where we need to go to get back on the bus it was very very helpful and we had a great time. I highly recommend this tour. was traveling with my family and we had no problems getting back on and off the bus

Very easy to hop in and off. There are many things to look at during each stop, purchase a 2 day pass if you have the time.

Very helpful as we had a walker to deal with and our drivers were wonderful. Looking forward to our next three theater tours San Francisco Los Angeles and San Diego.

This tour passes through the most important sites in the city (the river, Michigan Avenue, the navy pier, the observatory, etc). It is a tour that I recommend to anyone who wants to better enjoy the city or is just discovering it. the stops are well signposted and the staff is very friendly.
Something to improve, the guide in Spanish is not very complete and has long moments of music without describing the sites visited. I recommend 100% this experience is really enjoyed if the day is not very cold.

We always take a Bug Bus Tour as soon as we get to a new city! The tour gives great information as well as giving a solid “lay of the land” before we start exploring on our own. The tour is very informative and covered all of the major attractions! We love the Bug Bus Tour!
