Fantastic tour - we visited diverse parts of the city and even went off the beaten track to a nature reserve you would never know about otherwise. Our guide Jay was really engaging and we had a good overview of everything we saw. Really easy and safe riding on the flat. Great views of the Lake as well. Highly recommended.

We just completed this tour with Joe. It was a wonderful way to spend a morning. We saw many sites we would not have been able to cover on foot. Joe was engaging and informative and very concerned about our safety. He gave great clear instructions and we never felt unsafe. We learned lots of interesting facts about Chicago and just had fun. Thanks so much.

My boyfriend and I took the Ultimate Tour with Daisy. Informational, fun and well-paced. Daisy was a great guide - definitely recommend taking this tour!
P.S. Get ready to see some hidden gems you almost certainly didn’t know existed

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.

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!
