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!
