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!!
