We enjoyed the Chicago Neighborhoods Lakefront tour. Paul, our guide, did a great job leading everyone safely and providing history at each of our stops. -
5 Stars
We loved our Father's Day neighborhood bike ride. Our guide was fun and very knowledgeable about Chicago. She instructed us on how to navigate the streets and sidewalks in a safe way. It was just challenging enough to be exciting, but not scary. Our weather was perfect and the ride was very enjoyable. I would recommend this bike tour to anyone who feels comfortable on a bike. It was an easy ride and the scenery was magnificent.

What if it rains?
Tours do run rain or shine. If there's one thing we've learned, it's that weather forecasts are often unreliable. Chicagoland is huge, so if they predict a shower, it probably won't affect the tour. If a brief shower does occur, we'll provide rain gear for the group. In the rare event that a tour is cancelled due to weather, we will allow you to reschedule your tour, subject to availability. You should dress appropriately for the day's weather conditions.
