5.00What a great way to see areas of Chicago that you would otherwise, most probably, not see. Taken at a leisurely pace to suit all, this was a very pleasurable 4 hour tour. The sights, food, beer and guide (Joe) were all very good. Can't beat being guided by a local who clearly loves his city.
Awesome Tour!

5.00The stories and information provided by Joe were interesting and much more than expected. Being fourth generation Chicagoan it was obvious he knew his stuff. The food selections were very good. Enjoyed the well guided bike ride on a beautiful day! Was glad it was a smaller group.
Beautiful bike ride with iconic Chicago food/beer along the way!
