I have taken trolley tours in many cities in both the US and internationally, so I consider myself experienced enough to comment on the Chicago version offer by Chicago Trolley Company. They seemed to have a good route, that covered all the highlights. However, whatever they had to offer was overshadowed by Dave, our tour guide. He was terrible. The... more

I cannot think of a better way to tour the city of Chicago. The hop on/off method works very well to tailor the trip to your personal interests. The tour guides give you many interesting facts along the way. It was our first time to the city and the trolley was a great way to see what the city has... more

My Mom and I recently visited Chicago and took the Signature Trolley tour. It is definetly worth the price of the $29 ticket! You actually getting 4 tours for that price when we were there but we only took the Signature Tour. We have been to Chicago many, many times and had never seen many areas of the city, this... more

For the price of your ticket, you not only get a Signature Tour of the city atop a double-decker bus, but included in the price are several smaller Neighborhood Tours via trolley. We started at Navy Pier, stayed on the bus for most of the Signature Tour, then hopped off at Millennium Park to catch the West Neighborhood Tour. We... more

I've lived in Chicago for ten years, and some visiting relatives wanted to take the double decker bus tour following a visit to the Sears Tower Skydeck. The weather was beautiful, but the tour guide was terrible. His jokes were bad, his attitude sarcastic, and his information inaccurate. We got off half way through because we couldn't tolerate it any... more

This is a great way to see the different sights (especially since you get to hop on & off as many times as you wish.) This was a great thing to do with our 3 yr old because when she got tired from walking around a sight, we would hop on a bus and drive around to see a few... more

I just came back from a quick 5 day trip. I took the trolley. However, it ended too early, I wanted to go to the south neighborhood tour but the trips were timed. I enjoyed the tour especially on the first leg wherein the guide named KIM and the driver LARRY were very professional and respectful. Kim was so knowledgeable... more

We did the West and South neighborhood tours. We got to see the city along the way even though we didn't do the signature tour. The west neighborhood tour included the Oprah studios and store. That happened to be my mothers highlight of our trip. Oprah's studio looked different than I thought it would. It was nice to see both.... more

We actually live in Chicago suburbs and decided to take the trolley and thought it was a fun way to see everthing in the city and obtain some fun facts. You can also hop on and hop off throughout The best value is the 3 day pass, as it does not cost much more (and actually no extra charge for... more

We had a great time on these trolleys and double decker buses!! However, when they say you get VIP at Sears Tower, on a Saturday, it was still an hour and a half wait getting through security and all! That was kind of a bummer! more
