Chicago Weekend

My wife and I are big travelers and have visited most medium and big cities in the U.S. Whenever we travel we always try and utilize a tour similar to this to learn about the city and to use as a way of hopping around the city. Of all the tours like this that we have been on, this one was the best we have ever taken. They had funny and knowledgeable drivers and tour guides that kept us entertained informed and laughing through most of our tour.

We especially liked our ability to get on and get off the trolleys and double decker buses all day long. They go almost every place you want to go and this tour even included a separate route to take you to three ethnic neighborhoods (Chinatown, Greektown, and Italian Town). It costs considerably less than identical tours in other cities. We bought a two day ticket which made it an even better deal.

Be careful there is another operator that behaves very unscrupulously by the name of Gray Line. They try and tell you they are the same as Chicago Trolley but they were horrible. At first we bought their tickets (thinking it was Chicago Trolley), but after experiencing long waits and surly employees we got a refund and switched to Chicago Trolley.

All in all it was a great tour and we would highly recommend it when you visit Chicago. Thanks to all the tour guides we met along are way!
