The audio was horrible. A lot of static. Someone is going to lose an eye for all the branches and sticks passing under the trees. I would not recommend this trip to anyone.

The host was so funny, amazing stories and impressions. I loved how proud he was when speaking on the history of Chicago and all of its richness. Just make sure you watch you head a lot of the trees hang low and if you don’t pay attention you will get whacked sitting at the top of the bus.

I was only in town for a day, so it was great to be able to see the major parts of the city, and enjoy the architecture, in a one and a half hour tour
