Great trip.. Spiro was our guide. Excellent job very knowledgeable about the city and everything going on covered many g - The timing was perfect for our trip. We’re still light out so we got to see many things. And then when it got dark out, it was a whole new adventure.

Tour guide makes it worth it. - A non stop Tour ride. Informative with some humor for our guide Matty. We were able to feel Chicago and learn about its history and current buildings and places. Lincoln Park is included on the tour. They new where the "Kodak Island" spots would be. Relaxing and enjoyable. If you want to see Chicago by bus, this it it. It is much better than Big Bus hop on after waiting and hop off.

Smacked by tree limbs - This was a great tour with different features and narration than the hop on hop off tour during the day. It is difficult to find the starting place, so arrive early and ask around. There's a sign that says Big Bus, but it doesn't indicate it's where the sunset bus starts. The worst experience was that MANY tree limbs smacked people on the upper deck as we drove by. There was really no way to avoid them without literally lying on the seat. If I had not had on glasses, I probably would have had serious eye damage. Not sure if it's the City's responsibility or the bus company's, but someone must trim those limbs!

Don’t Go! - 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.
