Overview

The Big Bus Chicago Hop-On Hop-Off Sightseeing Tour operates on open-top, double-decker buses with both enclosed, climate-controlled lower decks and open upper decks offering panoramic views. The full loop takes about two hours, but passengers can hop on and off at any designated stop as often as they like within their 24, 48, or 72-hour pass period. Key stops include the Magnificent Mile, Millennium Park, Willis Tower, and the Chicago Riverwalk. Passengers can explore neighborhoods and attractions at their own pace, such as shopping on the Magnificent Mile, riding Navy Pier's Ferris Wheel, or sampling Chicago Deep Dish Pizza. Onboard digital commentary is available in multiple languages, providing information about Chicago's history, architecture, and culture, as well as dining and shopping recommendations. The tour includes free WiFi and live bus tracking through the Big Bus app, which also offers four optional self-guided walking tours covering Chicago Architecture, Public Art, the Chicago Riverwalk, and Millennium Park. Tickets must be activated either through the app or at designated stops before boarding. Vouchers can be redeemed at Stop #1 on the Chicago Riverwalk (98 E Wacker Drive) or with any driver at stops along the route. Wheelchair assistance should be requested at the time of booking.
