Love Chicago would do it again. The card was worth the money, especially not having to pull your wallet out all the time.

The go card was great. Got you into so many attractions, but the hop on hop off tour doesn't run in winter. (Read the fine print).

Excellent value for money as long as one is aware that all tours must be booked before 5pm and where the hop on hop off bus is concerned (Grey Line) before 4pm

Well worth the money. The savings were great and was able to do most things in the two days of card.

great idea. ran out of time to see everything. loved the "skip the line" tours, but only buy what you can fit in. and be mindful when you use it as that counts as a day. to get the most out of it, use it at the start of a new day. debbie - Australia

Great not have to stand in the long lines. With time the card allowed, we saved a little. Two big problems, we were not told we had to go get a pass for the Hop on Hop off Trolley and the card ended at 530 and some places were open much later . More details needed when purchase is made. Remember you can get your tickets for the Water Cruise Tours before 530 the day you want the tour and go on the 700 pm or 900pm tour.

Most features of the card are quite good. The only fault with the card, would be the "Hop On & Off Trolley rides". Reason being, you have to validate the card at certain points, before your first ride. Also, the stops are not clearly defined which can lead to needless wondering. That said, the Shedd Aquarium and the Architectural River Cruise are a must do. The Navy Pier is good for a couple of hours to just stroll and soak up the sun. A good way to see Chicago on a short stay and a budget.

Due to time constraints, we chose to pick up our Go card the day of our trip. Very frustrated that we could not get our card until 10am. Our plan was to be at Shedd by 9am, but that was impossible without our card. Once we had it in hand, things went well.
