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 complete tour of the loop however we had a hard time identifying where the stop was - no signage . Called customer service for guidance which we didn’t get . Used the app to communicate with tour guide did not receive a response. Once we did find stop and boarded to bus the driver was very rude.

We loved seeing Soldier Field, the Navy Pier, and 360 Chicago. The stops were not clearly marked- we totally missed the first stop but got to the second one just before the bus. After that, knowing where to find the next bus was a big help.

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.

Driver was great. Information was entertaining. Signs to catch the bus were not well visualized n made it difficult to know exactly where you were supposed to be.

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.

I had a major problem with this company. I tried to book a tcket online, however the site kept on 'falling over'. I telephoned but the phone just rang. I walked to one of their hop-on-hop-off sites but was told that I would have to go to their main office downtown. I tried on their site again but had the same problem. I finally managed to get hold of someone on a chat window and explained the problem. He stated that they knew there was a problem but I could go to their main office and book there. He gave me basic instructions but I simply was unable to find them. After wondering around for 20 minutes I simply gave up and did a walking tour.
