Great Chicago Bike Tour! - While planning our recent trip to Chicago, I decided to tack on this bike tour. So happy I did! Our tour guide, York, was the best! He provided comprehensive information about the city-past and present-at various stops along the way. So interesting and informative! York kept the pace easy, but we still covered a lot of ground and even made our way over to the old airport. Such an enjoyable way to experience a part of this great town!

Nice tour of Chicago - We did this on our last day in Chicago to fill the day as we were catching the 20:05 train. This would have been better done at the start of our visit. It is a very interesting tour, and Daisey is very knowledgeable about Chicago. The tour was done at a nice pace, and it didn't t feel like 3 hours. It's a great tour, and I would definitely recommend it if you want to see the quiet parts of Chicago..

Perfect for anyone who likes biking but dislikes navigating through a foreign city - We loved the lakefront tour! Vasil was a great tour guide and he had interesting stories to share. We saw a lot more from Chicago than we would have been able to discover by foot. We loved the ease of just following someone who knows the area. While riding, you can just take in the scenery without worrying about navigating. They know which ways are bike-appropriate and take you on a beautiful tour to spaces you would likely miss otherwise!
