What To See and Do in Chicago - #8

Chicago Trolley and Double Decker Co.

I'll admit, this is something I've yet to do on my visits to Chicago, but have wanted to do for a very long time.  Hopping on one of the Trolley's or Double Decker buses seems like a great way to see the city. 

You can choose from a variety of tours:

 - The Signature Tour covers 13 miles of Chicago's downtown and loop area.  It is a single day ticket that allows you to ride for the full two hours or hop off to do some sightseeing on your own and re-board later than same day to continue the tour.
 - Maybe you would rather see a smaller section of the city.  The North Neighborhood tour will take you to places like Millennium Park or Wrigley Field.  Or maybe you would be more interested in seeing Chinatown or stopping by Oprah's Store on the West Neighborhood tour.  Of course there is also the Museum of Science and Industry on the South Neighborhood tour.
 - If you're going to be in Chicago for a few days and want to take your time seeing all the sites, the Explore Chicago tour is probably what you need.  You can jump on the bus or trolley and take a ride to one of the museums, stop for some shopping or a nice lunch with friends or family.  You have 3 full days explore Chicago while sitting back and enjoying the scenic view of Chicago from one of the Trolley's or Double Decker buses.
