I visited Chicago to look at grad school with a few of my friends in mid-June. We had a lot of things we wanted to see and do when we went, but we were also able to do a bike tour and we had a blast! We chose Bobby's Bike Hike and did the 10:00am Lakeshore tour on 6/23/08. Our... more

This tour was one of the best of our trip and I'd recommend it to anyone. Our guide was Eddy who had a slightly anarchic view of cycling rules and welcomed us to a party on wheels - no cars welcome! We met at the Bobby universal head office and were allocated a bike with a name (Tara and Big... more

We took the 1:30 trip on Monday afternoon and liked it so much that we went back on Saturday night for the "sunglasses at night tour". A bike hike is the only way to see any city. I also took one in Paris/Versailles. Great leisurely pace. The guides get you through the traffic remarkably safely. My only complaint was that... more

This tour is really super. I'm not sure what more I can add to the other excellent reviews, but I will relay my experience this past weekend. I took the Neighborhood tour and our guide was Kelly and she was great, very enthusiastic and provided a great tour for everyone. The bikes are very easy to ride and maneuver. Even... more

My wife and I did the Neighborhood tour Sunday Apr 27, 2008; it was absolutely awesome. It is a 3-hour tour which brings you thru downtown Chicago along with some neighborhoods and the Lakefront; it is an outstanding way to get to know the city. Our tour guide (Eddie) was the best, very knowledgeable and helpful. In our opinion, the... more

I have been to Chicago in April for the past four years and have usually explored on foot and made use of the CTA (Chicago Transportation Authority) but there is only so much you can see this way. Last year I found a leaflet about BOBBY'S BIKE HIKE TOURS at the hotel I was staying in but I did not... more

What a great way to see the sites! My groups tour guide Kelly is a Chicagoan and her local knowledge of the city, its history and its inhabitants beat all the tour guides on the double deckers hand down. The tour is an easy cycle through the city and its neighbourhoods with plenty of stops for your guide to tell... more

Bobby's Bike Hike is excellent! It is a definite 'must do' for all visitors to Chicago. My family and I went on the 3 hour afternoon Neighbourhood tour on a Sunday in July. My parents are both 60 plus and relatively fit - they both coped with the 7 miles of cycling and really enjoyed themselves. There was also a... more

A wonderful way to tour Chicago. We went on the easy afternoon 3 hour tour (which gave plenty of exercise) and learned so much. The guide was knowlegeable and considerate of our safety. There were people of all ages on this tour and each of us enjoyed it. I think any of the tours you choose will render the same... more
