Just did the Lakefront Neighborhoods bike tour — what a blast!

I went on this tour last weekend, and it was amazing! Our guide was super knowledgeable about all the neighborhoods. We cruised through Lincoln Park and got to see some gorgeous lake views. The ride was casual but so engaging. I highly recommend it for any Chicago visitors or locals looking for something fun to do. Just a heads-up, wear sunscreen if it’s sunny—you’ll be out for a while! Price was totally worth it, though!

Thinking about gifting the Lakefront bike tour, any advice?

I'm considering buying this bike tour experience for my partner’s birthday. I've heard great things, but does anyone know how long the tour actually lasts? I want to make sure we have enough time afterward for lunch in Old Town. Also, are the bikes easy to ride for beginners? I’m not super experienced.
