Very good experience
My initial tour was fully booked but the tour operator did not cancel; instead, they gave me an alternative for a more private and luxury experience.
Very beautiful and comfortable car

Excellent way to see as much of Chicago on a short stay. Guide/driver was very knowledgeable and flexible, not to mention a fabulous photographer and always willing to take a picture.
I always felt comfortable in the spotless vehicle and I’m I nervous passenger so that was excellent.
Honestly never thought I would see 1/2 as much of Chicago. Oh and the water & snacks were great.

We were upgraded to a private tour for three seniors. Ilyas picked us up on time from our hotel with our luggage. We saw so many Chicago sights on an enjoyable and informative tour. Be prepared for a full day! We appreciated the bottled water, snacks provided, and drop off at Union Station. Only spent two days in Chicago and spending one on this tour was definitely a sound choice.
Response from Host, Oct 2025

Great tour experience. Appreciate that despite only me showing up for this tour makes it more personal and exclusive. Really no time wasted and got to see the whole city in a day. Glad that tour was not cancelled despite low sign-up. Tour guide was nice and serve as my photograper which is a plus for solo traveler. Thumps up.
Response from Host, Sept 2025

Even though it sounded perfect, many issues arose. Driver arrived an hour after appointment in a small 4 person sedan which wouldn't have accommodated 4 of us, including 2 tall men, plus thedriver. The driver spoke very broken English which we did not easily understand. He said he would get a SUV, pick up another hour later, pushing the tour into late evening.
Response from Host, Sept 2025
Dear James,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're genuinely sorry the experience didn't meet your expectations, but we would like to clarify a few key details:
Our records show that our driver arrived at the scheduled time of 10:30 AM. However, we understand that the vehicle provided—a standard sedan—was not ideal for your group’s size and comfort, and we sincerely apologize for that oversight.
To address the issue, we immediately offered a free upgrade to a private SUV tour, which would have been more comfortable for your group. You ultimately decided to cancel the tour, and we respected that decision by providing a full refund for the inconvenience.
While we're disappointed, we didn’t get the chance to show you the best of Chicago, we appreciate your feedback and will continue working to improve our services.

We had a great time. Our tour guide was flexible, we appreciated the door to door service and saw many highlights of the city in such a short time. Our guide was also a great photographer.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Hi jeanne,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review we're thrilled to hear you had a great time on your tour!
We’re especially glad you enjoyed the flexibility, the door-to-door service, and the city highlights. We'll be sure to pass your kind words along to your guide — they’ll be happy to know their photography skills didn’t go unnoticed!
It was a pleasure having you with us, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime you're in Chicago.
Warm regards,

The tour was not with a bus. They came in Uber cars which meant we would have had to split up for 5 people because the tour bus was already booked. We did not go on the tour. We did not get what Viator operator told us. Very disappointed.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Hi Sherell,
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear about your experience.
We want to clarify that the transportation details you received came from Viator, and unfortunately, they did not accurately reflect the flexible setup we use for our tours. As noted in our listing, we use a mix of mini buses, vans, or cars depending on group size and vehicle availability. On the day of your tour, our mini bus was already in use, and we arranged multiple vehicles to accommodate your group.
We completely understand your frustration, especially if you were expecting a dedicated mini bus, and we’re truly sorry for the confusion. We’ve followed up with Viator to ensure they update their tour descriptions to better reflect the setup and avoid this happening again.
If you’d like to reschedule or discuss this further, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly at 773-996-0159—we’d love the opportunity to make it right.
Warm regards,
Cavani / Chicago City Tours Team

This tour hit all the infamous spots we wanted to check out in Chicago. The private tour option was well worth it, making it a personal Uber with a guide.
Clint_M, Jun 2025
Book early to ensure your slot. Apparently they fill up quickly. I would have rescheduled, but they wanted to charge me $50 more.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you for your feedback — we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
Just to clarify for future guests: the $50 charge was not a rescheduling fee, but an optional upgrade to a private tour instead of a shared one. This is something we offer for added flexibility and a more personalized experience, especially when schedules are tight and availability fills up quickly.
We're glad you were still able to enjoy the tour, and we hope to welcome you back again!
