Birthday Celebration - Our tour was excellent. Rick is very knowledgeable. Answered all questions asked of him. It was 11 of us, so we took up every seat on the minibus, that made it even better, it was truly a family affair. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide.

Perfect introduction to Chicago - My daughter and I had a great tour with Avery today. He was so energetic, knowledgeable and entertaining. My only complaint is that the time seemed to pass so quickly because it was so good. The tour highlights interesting facts, takes you by historic sights and offers some ideal stops along the way. The bus was comfortable and the tour was timely. I would recommend it for people with limited time who want to learn about the city and experience key places.

Awesome tour guide! - Awesome tour guide! Would suggest toning down racy language a bit when children are on board. I wasn't offended but as a parent I did cringe a little bit. My kids werent there but other couple had kids on board. This guy definitely knows his stuff. Very good and informative!

Disappointed - I was not going to review because I wouldn't want to mess up your '5 star average" as the driver mentioned. However, I did want to mention something I was very disappointed about. The driver, Rick, offered to drop anyone off at the pier and we accepted. He pulled over and as we were exiting, my 68 year old sister fell and hit the sidewalk. I was able to get her up but what surprised me was the driver never blinked. Never asked if she was ok or even looked out the door. I maybe would have thought he didn't know she fell, but, another male passenger came out to see if she was ok. I don't know how she fell - maybe the vehicle rolled a bit as she was exiting or she just missed the step. Whatever it was, the driver should have acknowledged that a woman of a certain age fell off the steps exiting the vehicle and made sure she was ok
