Chicago · HALF-DAY
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 3 half-day tours worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Start near Navy Pier with a hybrid, Fuji Sportif 2.1 road bike, or electric bike. You get a helmet, lock, and city map, then choose a four-hour or full-day route along the lakefront, through Lincoln Park, or toward Chicago’s major sights.
“Tutto molto bello. Peccato che l’orario di chiusura è alle 18:30 e non alle 20:00 come indicato nella descrizione.”
Pick up a bike, helmet, lock, and city map at 540 N Lake Shore Dr, then build your own Chicago route. Ride the flat lakefront toward Navy Pier, The Bean, Lincoln Park Zoo, Museum Campus, or Wrigley Field. No guide is included, so you set the pace and return by 5pm.
“Group of 11 rented bikes. One bike half way had a mechanical issue and they were excellent in helping us.”
Start at Millennium Park with a private guide, walk through the Loop to the Chicago River and Magnificent Mile, then receive tickets for one hour at 360 Chicago. Morning and afternoon departures are available, and guide Colm can tailor the route to your interests and pace.
“Absolutely AMAZING tour! Colm was a phenomenal tour guide, literally one of the best we have encountered. The tour was packed and included so many unexpected stops. Colm tailored the tour to our interests and pace. We wanted to see as much as possible and we did! Best aspect, Colm was incredibly knowledgeable about Chicago, specifically history and architecture. He was very intentional in pointing out the smallest, most intriguing details that we would have otherwise missed. HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!”
Pick a river, a sidewalk or a plate.
