We had read some poor reviews about Chicago hoho but our experience was quite pleasant. We got on and off four places and had a great time. Paid online ahead and showed that to the person outside the bus and got one combined bus pass to use all day. DO NOT LOSE the bus pass! You must show it everytime you get on. Got the free wired ear buds to use all day and keep. Just plug them in. Don't miss the last bus of the day or you will need to Uber or taxi back to your parking garage. Grandkids loved it. Sit in the open air top or lower air conditioning.

What a delightful way to see the beautiful city of Chicago! We took this tour on a lovely, sunny spring day and were able to enjoy the tour from the top of the double decker bus. But it's good to know that the lower inside level is available for cooler days or inclement weather. Listening to the guided tour via complimentary headsets was interesting and fun. Bus drivers were very polite and helpful. Being able to use the day pass all day long and get off occasionally to see favorite sites is a wonderful opportunity. Love this tour!!

We enjoyed listening to the commentary on what we were passing by and the history of the buildings from the headphones as well as what the driver often added to that information.

    The music selection was very lound at times, varied volume without touching the control. The lady outside the skydeck was very helpful and friendly.

    Easy to get tickets online. It was handy to have tickets available if a Big Bus agent wasn't at a stop. Great way to see the city. Informative sound track and/or bus drivers.
