This is a very thorough and relaxing city highlights tour! We pick up at three downtown hotels before beginning our adventure at 875 N. Michigan, the former John Hancock Center.

Great way to get an overview of the city

Our drivers were very knowledgeable and interesting. Easy way to get around the city. On top of the double decker is great in good weather but the trolley was exceptional and warm in the rain.

Great, sit up top near front window

Loved it, a great way to get your sense of direction in Chicago. If you can get the seat at the top sheltered by the glass then that makes its warmer.

How long is the holiday lights tour?

December 13, 2018|

AnswerShow all 3 answers

The tour is about 2 1/2 hours long. That gives you time for getting off and enjoying the Lincon Park lights and also the Festival in Downtown. Hope this helps.
