I was in Chicago for my birthday weekend and booked the 10am Small Group City Tour. Rick, was nice enough to pick me up at my hotel since I was staying in the downtown area. We then went on a journey to explore key parts of the city. I loved hearing the back stories of some of the buildings and landmarks we saw. Rick also suggested some good dining places in the area!

He was very knowledgeable. If this was your first time in the city it was okay. There is a lot to see in the city.

This was a good tour. It gives you a good base for an educational background of Chicago. The tour is relatively short and sweet, it has stops, it's for smaller groups. The tour guides are very communicative and it's an easy booking, but read the fine print of what hotels they do pick-up. If you have a couple hours, take this tour!

Rick was an outstanding tour guide who knows Chicago inside and out! Very smart and funny guy familiar with the history of the city. The tour moves at a manageable pace and is fine for people of all ages. Make sure you take the optional river cruise tour at the end! Worth every penny and makes for a lovely day.

Extremely misleading! Bus driver seemed a tad bit agitated and rushed the experience. Boat ride was overpriced and boring

Comfortable ride, great views & friendly service. The tour includes a few stops to get out to stretch and explore on foot. A great way to begin exploring Chicago.
Thanks Rick!

I would have loved to give you a great review but I didn’t get the chance! I tried to book a single seat for February 24th or 25th but in spite of there being all seats available, I was told on the booking form that there were none for a single.
Bizarrely it told me that I could book 2 seats, 3, 4……..9, 10 which allowing odd number bookings would surely leave one seat available for a single.
You’re a very lucky business to be able to turn a customer away on what promises to be a cold February day!

I booked through Viator and contacted Rick to find out where to meet him. He responded immediately and gave me a suggestion of which hotel pick-up spot was closest to where I was staying and he recommended checking out the lobby. This was an excellent little nugget that I appreciated. IT was the Palmer House Hotel and it is decorated wonderfully for Christmas right now.
Rick was right on time and luckily our group was only 4 people. He brought us to all of the most important places in Chicago and gave us some history and general info about the neighbourhoods and landmarks. Rick had an excellent sense of humour and really made the tour great. When you buy the architecture cruise, you get a voucher to redeem for a timed ticket of your choosing. I also highly recommend that tour.
