Highly recommend!! We took the night tour and had Pat and 2 trainees as our guides. They did a wonderful job of sharing just enough information to keep you involved without getting boring. I am very happy we did this as it was the perfect start to our girls trip! More

Great staff, great equipment, very helpful!! We rented bikes instead of taking the tour since we knew the city pretty well. Even if we didn't it wouldn't have mattered. We biked along the shore on very safe bike paths. Then we ventured out into the city, locked up our bikes across the John Hancock building so we could ride the... More

What a great way to spend the day in Chicago! I did the Lakefront Tour and had the best time exploring the neighborhoods of Chicago. David was such a great tour guide! He provided interesting and humorous historical facts about the city. I love the fact that Bobby's is professional and safety minded when it comes to riding. You will... More

The crew at Bobby's Bike Hike is super friendly, very accommodating, and loads of fun. The pace is just right for all levels of fitness. The bikes are a super comfy ride, so comfy that you'll want to rent them for the rest of the day, which you can! If I'd had more time I would have done another tour.... More

This was the perfect adventure for 5 sisters as we celebrated a 50th birthday. Alex was delightful, fun and a great guide as she led us on a spectacular tour thru great sights of the city. Bikes were comfy and easy to ride, food and brew stops nicely paced, and the opportunity to enjoy nice weather in city was priceless.... More

David was our tour guide and he went out of his way to make our bike tour fun and interesting. Touring the city on two wheels is a unique way to experience some of Chicago's favorite landmarks in just a few hours. Our tour group navigated the streets of Chicago like pros thanks to David's simple yet effective communication tools... More

This tour is awesome, especially Eddy. Tons of great history delivered in a fun way - and a pit stop at a local bar - can't beat that! We did the Lakefront Neighborhood Tour and I would definitely try out one of the other tours on our next trip to Chicago. More

Pat, our Bikes, Bites, & Brews tour guide, was laid back, fun & knowledgeable. I have a back injury and nerve damage and was worried about trying this out, but did it anyway. The bikes were super comfortable and the ride was at a great pace so I didn't feel like I was having to keep up. My husband and... More
