CHICAGO TOURS ON WHEELS
Tour by bus, bike, Segway or even a three-wheel Trikke.
You'll recognize the big, bright red buses from Chicago Trolley & Double Decker Company throughout the city. Check out the famous Hop On, Hop Off Tour that covers miles of city attractions and offers you the opportunity to jump off the bus for a close-up look and jump back on when you're ready to roll on to the next stop for more sightseeing. Even better, you can keep the ride inside or outside on the Double Decker tour, with enclosed seating on the lower level and open air seating – and views – up top. Adding to the entertainment factor, the guides are always good for a laugh.
Or tour the city in a luxury vehicle with a guide from Chicago Private Tours, who's an expert on Chicago attractions, history and culture. Customizable to meet your particular interests, tours are available in English, Spanish, Italian, French, Greek, German, Mandarin, Russian and Japanese among the many other languages.
Combine your love for exploration with a little exercise on a bike tour. Chicago's smooth, flat terrain makes it easy to sightsee by bicycle, with tour possibilities covering everything from neighborhood outings to food adventures. Bobby's Bike Hike and their Lakefront Neighborhoods Tour was recently voted Best Tour in Chicago by TripAdvisor's loyal crowd – not too shabby. And the Bikes @ Nite Tour with Bike and Roll shows off Chicago's sparkly side when the sun goes down and the downtown lights come on.
But a bike isn't the only way to cruise around Chicago on two wheels. If you don't feel like pedaling, zoom around with the skyline in view on a futuristic Segway. Step onto your two-wheeled self-balancing ride and cruise down Chicago's streets. Try Segway Experience of Chicago, Absolutely Segway Tours, or City Segway Tours, which all offer a selection of specialty excursions, from a Fireworks Tour that lights up Navy Pier and Buckingham Fountain, to a Riverwalk Tour that passes under Trump Tower, to a Holiday Lights Tour during the festive winter months.
Go with #1 Chicago Tours for more segway excursions – try Steve's Segway North Tour and Steve's Segway Museum Campus Tour – or take it one wheel further with a three-wheeled Trikke. Lean into the wind on these stable, user-friendly electric rides while you learn about top sights like the gorgeous open parks and scenic lakefront on their Trikke Chicago Tour.
No matter your age or fitness level, there's a tour for you. Grab some wheels and go!
