Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Bobby's Bike Hike Chicago, 540 N Lake Shore Dr, Chicago, IL 60611-3414

The journey begins at the Bobby’s Bike Hike headquarters in Streeterville, where you’ll meet your terrifying and fun-loving tour guide! We will outfit you with a ready-to-ride Bobby’s bicycle, complete with front and rear lights to keep the group shining bright amidst the spooky darkness. Our fleet of comfort bikes makes riding a breeze, so you can keep your focus on the frights!

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: John Hancock Center, 875 N Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60611-1803

The tour will then set out to see the John Hancock Center, home of the city’s most prolific curses and tragic demise. It’s one of the tallest buildings in Chicago and has an equally steep history of disaster.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: James M. Nederlander Theatre, 24 W Randolph St, Chicago, IL 60601, USA

From there the guide will lead you into the Chicago Loop toward the Oriental Theatre, formerly known as the Iroquois Theatre. In 1903, a horrific blaze left hundreds trapped in the burning building and the alley beside it. It is largely believed that these souls still haunt the venue, even bringing their families to a show every now and again!

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: The Congress Plaza Hotel & Convention Center, 520 S Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60605, USA

Following that, you’ll trek to the South Loop’s Congress Plaza Hotel, one of the most infamous haunted hotels in the world. Here you’ll take a break and maybe hunt for a ghost or two in the lobby. Bobby advises against venturing upstairs—multiple rooms have been sealed off for a reason.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Grant Park, 337 E Randolph St, Chicago, IL 60601

ater, the frightening ride continues down to Grant Park and Museum Campus, two of Chicago’s most iconic waterfront parks. These centuries-old spaces are vast and haunting, the perfect place to share more ghost stories… including those of H.H. Holmes, a serial killer who preyed upon visitors to Chicago’s 1893 World’s Fair. Though his south-side murder castle has long been demolished, the spirits of his victims are still present all around.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Lake Michigan, Beaches for swimming, IL

The tour finishes with a lakeside ride back to Streeterville, passing the dark depths of Lake Michigan, home to countless deadly shipwrecks.

Duration: 15 minutes

Great all round scenes of Chicago, lakeshore, city streets, under the L, around museums. The ghost stories were very informative and fun. I highly recommend it and I’d do it again!

Bobby's Bike Tour Halloween Edition was the highlight of our Chicago visit. We had our 3 year old and 7 year old. The weather was drizzly, damp and cool. The roads are flat and the route was safe especially on a Wednesday night. I was especially impressed with our guide's attention to the script and genuine enthusiasm. They have ebikes which I would insist on in Atlanta or other hilly towns but it wasn't necessary even pulling kids. Also, the hike did not have people jumping out trying to scare you. It was a tour of some of the more gruesome and haunted parts of Chicago. My 7yr old had just the right fright and the 3year old wanted to keep riding in her Yepp seat around town to see the pretty lights :D

Mark was great! The bike ride was awesome, very safe and fun. Mark knew his Chicago haunting history and shared some very exciting stories with us. Would recommend Bobby's Bike Tour's anytime and hope to make it back to the Windy City to do it again!
