🌟🌟🌟 We left with unforgettable memories and a newfound love for this amazing city. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience the true heart of Chicago. Carly, Burlington, ON.


🌟🌟🌟I just got back from your Chicago tour yesterday, and I have to say, I had an amazing time! Our tour director, Jenna, really went the extra mile to make our trip special. She made sure everyone was having a good time, always ready to lend a hand, asking us about our preferences, and doing her best to accommodate everyone's wishes. She's the best tour director I've ever had – such a kind person. Our bus driver, Mike, was also fantastic, keeping us safe and going out of his way to make sure we were all happy. I'm really impressed with the service Jenna and Mike provided, and I'd definitely recommend this trip to others. A big thank you! Ana & Carlos, visiting from Brasilia.


🌟🌟🌟My girlfriend Zoe and I just came back from our second adventure with Cranberry Tours, this time to Chicago, from May 17 to 20. What a gorgeous and cool city Chicago is! Emma, our tour leader, and Bob, our bus driver, were fantastic. Bruno was our guide on the first day, and he really knows a lot about Chicago. He and Bob took us to see parts of the city we wouldn't have found by ourselves.

We had lots of time to explore on our own for two days. We visited Millennium Park and saw the Bean, went on a boat cruise from Navy Pier, checked out the Shedd Aquarium (which was really cool), and browsed shops on Michigan Avenue, the Magnificent Mile. The buildings and churches are amazing. The time went so fast, but we did so much.

You should definitely think about going on one of their bus trips to Chicago. We had an amazing time. We're also looking forward to the D.S. Cherry Spectacular tour. Thanks for an awesome trip! Rafaela, ON.
