Best 4 hours in Chicago - This is definitely one of the highlights for me in Chicago. A quick tour of the city and a fun way to spend 4 and half hours. The pizza, the hotdog and brownie along with all the stories made it worthwhile.
Mave, our guide was really good and didn't take a break from explaining every little detail and kept us engaged throughout.
Definitely recommend for families, friends and business groups.

Perfect in Every Way! - My wife & I lived in the Chicago suburbs our whole life. Every time we visited the city we saw people riding bikes along the lakefront. My wife said she'd love to do this someday. I purchased this tour as a Christmas gift for my wife in 2019. Since Covid struck in the spring of 2020, we couldn't go. Then, we moved to KY last year. Thankfully, Bobby's told me the gift would never expire. We finally got to go last week. It was better than we ever imagined!! Dan was our tour guide & he was absolutely amazing! We highly recommend this tour!

JUST DO IT! - Absolutely book this for your first activity in Chicago! Best way to cover a lot of ground and get an overview of this beautiful city close up. More than enough food and beer so come hungry because they feed you at the first stop - all delicious especially Mollys cupcakes:) There was only 4 in our group and we really enjoyed our guide Lizzie! Its important to have good bikes too and I loved my bike so much I am looking now to buy the exact same one:)

A must do! - Food and beer were delicious but I loved seeing parts of Chicago I did’t know well even better. The lakeshore trail was so relaxing and interesting. The Buckingham Fountain at night was awesome!!!

Great group experience - We booked a private tour with Bobby's and it was fantastic. We decided rather late to do this tour with a group of 17 people attending a reunion and they were able to pull it together. Everyone was easy to work with. Our guide Rai was fantastic. The bikes were in excellent shape and comfortable. The food and drinks were fun and appropriate. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a different way to see Chicago. Also, we biked to Wrigley field and back and it was very easy despite being only an occasional biker. No one used an electric bike. It also felt very safe riding in the city streets as a group.
