A fabulous tour, really informative guide in Joe, who made it a fun 3 hours. For someone who is not used to cycling through a city, Joe ensured we were completely safe and at ease at all times. Most of the tour off main roads or on cycle lanes - so absolutely fine for all. Saw some parts of Chicago I never knew existed, and amazing views of the city. Bikes themselves v good (mine was virtually brand new) and well prepared. Highly recommended.

Lillian was our guide. She was very knowledgeable and considerate of the older riders in our group. Would highly recommend this trip

Our tour was guided by T, who was very entertaining and knowledgeable. We had beautiful weather and were able to see numerous landmarks throughout the city. I highly recommend this tour, as it is a great way to see the city. You don't need to be an avid bicyclist to do it, as the paths are mostly flat. At the very beginning, we rode on a few city streets that didn't have bike lanes, but the remaining 90% of the ride was on streets with bike lanes or paths designed exclusively for walkers and bicyclists. The bike was easy to ride. The tour was a lot of fun, and I learned a lot of good Chicago history! Thanks, T!

Theartis(T) was an absolutely fantastic guide. So enthusiastic, entertaining, and obviously loves teaching people about the city on a vehicle he loves. Great experience!

This is a great way to see Chicago. The tour is mostly on greenway paths or protected bike lanes which is great.

TorontoTOtraveller

Awesome tour of the city and beautiful waterfront. Theartis, our guide, was friendly and informative. Highly recommend this tour as a great way to see a lot of the city in 3 hours.

Deanna_D

This was a great bike ride! It is 10 miles. Our group was between 40 - 70+ years old. We are not regular bike riders, we did fine, there are stops along the way to rest. ‘T’, I wish I remembered how to spell his first name, was our leader. He was amazing! Lots of history and stories. Highly recommend.

Leantoinette_D

This was the perfect way to see the city. The tour covered the Riverwalk area, loop area, the parks, beaches, planetarium/museum area, and navy pier. Nice pace and very safe. Our guide Jeff (most beautiful eyes) was great. He was friendly and knowledgeable on the history of the city and genuinely appears to love his job. I would recommend this tour as the perfect way to get some exercise and see more in a short amount of time.
