Great fun - This is such a fun and enjoyable bike tour. Jamal our guide was a delightful young man and was very informative and enthusiastic and was the perfect host. Bobbys bike tours offer a variety of food and bike tours and I did 3 during my 3 days in Chicago and all of them were 10/10.

Great way to be active and see Chicago! - Our tour guide, York, really made the trip! He had such a vast knowledge of Chicago history and architecture. One member of our group even tried to stump him on a life of Chicago history/trivia but he knew the story and shared with a of us. Beautiful Sights, just the right mix of riding and stops and a super tour guide made our trip superb!

Jamal Leads a Fun, Informative & Safe Bike Tour - Booking the 10 am tour, we were in a small group of six riders with our leader, Jamal, who was knowledgeable, attentive and sweetly funny. We rode at a very leisurely pace, able to take in our surroundings safely. I especially liked our extended stop to briskly tour the free Lincoln Park Zoo, our time in Old Town and visit to St. Micheal's Church. Riding along the lakefront was a wonderful end to the tour. Request: Add a stop at the Twin Anchors. I highly endorse this bike tour. Your will be especially lucky if Jamal is your leader.

Afternoon ride - My husband and I became tourists in our own city for an afternoon and enjoyed everything about this tour. Our guide, Jamal, kept our group of 16 safe and guided us through the city with ease. We saw some areas we had never explored and learned things along the way. We will definitely do another tour with Bobby's Bike Hike!

Get out of the city and EXPLORE! - Dan was EXCELLENT! The only thing that I would say could be approved upon is the time spent in each location. I would have loved to have spent a little more time in Old Town! Guess I’ll have to go back!
