I'm bringing an infant/very young child. Should I purchase them a ticket?
Don't worry, children 3 and under are not charged a full youth price. Your small child will, however, be charged a ticket price which goes toward reserving their special equipment.

Should I tip the guide on the bike tour?
If you enjoyed yourself more then you anticipated, then tip -- the guide will be happy to be recognized in this manner.

TESTIMONIALS:

"We have just returned back to California today from our cross-country bus trip and when each child (and adult) was asked to name which day rated the highest, you came out on top! We had a tour of the White House, went to the Iowa State Fair, hiked the Grand Canyon and saw Old Faithful, and you won! We will definitely recommend you to anyone traveling to Chicago. Thanks again!" -- Doreen, California

"When my wife and I spent a very pleasant weekend in Chicago, a true highlight of this wonderful city was a memorable afternoon with your Bike Tour. The scenery was beautiful, the guide knowledgeable and entertaining, the bike was easy yet refreshing, and it was the most efficient and relaxing way to see the incredible sights of one of America's truly amazing cities." "...would be on my "must-do" list of things to experience in Chicago." -- Mike Huckabee, Former Governor of Arkansas

"Thank you for touring my group from Germany....It was safe, there weren't any hills and it was slow paced. My group loved it and I will work with you again." -- Katrina, Germany
