We loved the lakefront tour! Vasil was a great tour guide and he had interesting stories to share. We saw a lot more from Chicago than we would have been able to discover by foot. We loved the ease of just following someone who knows the area. While riding, you can just take in the scenery without worrying about navigating. They know which ways are bike-appropriate and take you on a beautiful tour to spaces you would likely miss otherwise!
