Awesome Tour Experience! - We had an amazing time on the family food tour today! Anderson was our guide and she was friendly, fun, knowledgeable, and kept everyone safe. Her positivity and encouragement made it a great experience. We loved hearing about the 4 tenets of Bobby’s Bike Hike and Anderson certainly helped us experience the joys of travel, community, health, and service!

Best activity for seeing Chicago with kids - Great fun way to see the city landmarks and try deep dish pizza and Chicago style hotdogs. Our guide Anderson was very professional in keeping us and our kids safe while also filling us with great facts about the city’s history.

Highly recommend Bobby's Food and Bike Hike! - My 18 year old daughter and I went on this excursion. A.J. was our guide and he was patient, kind, and funny! It was fantastic. We are in decent shape--not bikers tho, and it was perfect. Not too hard and lots of stops. Food was fun and we got lots of background and history. We saw more sites than I was expecting! It's a good thing to do at the beginning of your trip because you can kind of decide what you want to do with the rest of your time in the city. They give you one water to start. I would bring another with you!

Unsafe experience - not family-friendly for elementary age kids! - The good: The food was fine and the tour guide was knowledgeable and told us interesting stories about the food we tried. (Although the website did mention we would stop for deep dish, a Chicago hot dog, gelato, and a dessert treat - we only got 3 of the 4, with no gelato included.) The bad: However, this specific tour is billed as "all ages" and "family friendly" and we did not find that to be the case. The website describes the route as being on "protected bike lanes and bike paths." We enjoyed the portions of the tour that were on such paths, but the entire middle part of the tour was on main city streets without bike lanes. We felt *extremely* unsafe as we were directed to take up an entire lane of Wabash Ave with cars honking and whizzing by us. Even we as adults did not feel safe, and our 10-year-old (who is generally capable of long independent bike rides at home) was terrified. Our 7-year-old was on a tagalong attached to my husband's bike - it was very wobbly and difficult for him to keep upright. At intersections, we rolled through stop signs without our guide clearly directing traffic to pause, and we had numerous near collisions with pedestrians crossing streets at the same time we were turning. This could be a lovely tour if back roads and bike lanes were primarily used and we would urge Bobby's Bike Hikes to consider alternative routes before someone is seriously injured - weaving in and out of traffic simply doesn't feel safe for anyone, let alone families with children. We voiced these concerns upon returning to the shop and were told that no one has ever felt uncomfortable before, but we cannot imagine how. Do not attempt this tour with kids younger than teenagers.
