“The tour guide was great and since we were charged the entire fee but didn’t get to see everything without warning that booking on New Year’s Day tour one tour stop food place would be canceled. That was disappointing. But you all can use that extra we didn’t use for that place and give to our tour guide lady as her tip. She was with Gabe from Bobby bike and hike tours 11:30 tour on 1.1.2026. She was trying to be as enthusiastic and did explain as much about Chicago but we just wanted to go sit down and eat at places :) And they were nice places to stop…”
