Mini Bus Tour December 7, 2014Loved the small bus with it windows. The climate control was awesome on a very cold day. Lots of great info about the history, architecture, neighborhoods, shopping, baseball and much more. 2 hours was perfect. Priced right. Worth it!

Mini Bus Tour February 15, 2014The weather may have been dreadful but the tour was awesome! My friend and I booked the Mini-bus tour online, got picked up right outside our hotel, and buzzed through the city on the really comprehensive 2-hour tour. Our guide/driver, Rick, was hilarious and told us all the local eateries, the best bars, and restaurants to check out during our stay, not to mention, he gave us a pretty detailed history of Chicago itself. Seriously awesome service: we were able to get off and take pics at Wrigley Field and the Planetarium for a great sky-line view—though we hopped right back into the van because it was so cold. Highly recommend this tour! It’s a fun, informative and perfectly concise tour of the Windy City!

Mini Bus Tour October 4, 2013Despite the morning rain, we enjoyed our tour and our tour guide Rick on this city tour of Chicago. Rick drove us around for two hours explaining the various areas of the city and allowed us to leave the mini-van to take some photos at some of the major landmarks. His sense of humor made the trip enjoyable and entertaining. You can tell he truly enjoys what he does.
The mini-bus is very comfortable (climate-controlled), but there aren't any bathroom breaks/stops. Even though the pickup was at a different hotel from where we were staying, Rick agreed to drop us off at our hotel, which saved us a 20-minute walk.
Highly recommend it. -

Mini Bus Tour May 22, 2013I highly recommend this tour. The driver-guide was knowledgeable, friendly and had a cute sense of humor. The small group size makes it much more personal, and you get to see a lot more since you're not waiting for 50 people to climb in and out of a bus.
