Great Overview of Chicago City sites and neighborhoods
Suzanne_S, Apr 2024
I traveled to IL for a family event and stayed over in Chicago for a few days with my 94-year-old Dad. The Minibus tour was a great way for us to see Chicago sites and neighborhoods, to get the lay of the land. The stops for photos was just enough. We enjoyed our tour guide, and explaining his jokes to the Swiss family in the bus. Everyone was friendly and enjoyed themselves.
Bus tour in Rainy weather is worth it!r
