Barons Bus Lines
Pros: The driver, leather seats, clean bus and bathroom. Thank you very much appreciated Cons: Make sure bus driver is considering the air conditioning. Everyone can't bear 66 degrees on a bus. It's different in your home at 65 degrees. Tips: Wear warm clothing, use can always take off items if it is too warm

Barons Bus Lines
Pros: Very easy process and comfortable seats. This was my first time riding a long-distance bus and the experience was great! Very nice and professional bus driver. Cons: It wasn’t super-clear how I get the boarding pass. I had to search a bit through the emails I received. Tips: Please bring earphones so you do not bother others with your phone/music use.

Barons Bus Lines
Pros: Bus driver was great and ride was on time Cons: Not making people print off tickets. Worse part by far. On Sunday most print places were closed and it doesn’t make sense in 2022 to require a physical ticket.

Barons Bus Lines
Pros: Bus left on time and arrived on time. Cons: It was not clear to me that’s the receipt was not the ticket. I almost missed the bus because I had to wait in line to get a ticket. I would recommend that you start excepting etickets. Tips: Make sure you print the correct item. The itinerary that looks like a ticket is not a ticket.

City Information

Chicago

CHI-0CHI-1CHI-2

Known for its innovative architecture, cultural contributions to jazz and house music, and of course that irresistible deep-dish pizza, the many sights and experiences in Chicago make it one of the best urban holiday destinations for millennials and a top destination in Illinois.

You can't beat the views of the city and Lake Michigan from the SkyDeck in the Willis Tower; at over 1,300 feet, this is the highest observation deck in the U.S. Snap that classic selfie with the Bean in Millennium Park, then wander the many museums in nearby Grant Park. Navy Pier is a popular tourist hotspot for its parks, restaurants, and attractions right on Lake Michigan, and baseball fans will find paradise in Wrigleyville, home to the Chicago Cubs' Wrigley Field and sports bars galore.

Chicago's enormous parks offer plentiful opportunities for outdoor activities in gorgeous urban settings. Many companies offer kayak rentals or boat tours on the Chicago River, with special tours running on Saint Patrick's Day, when the entire river is dyed green. When you’re ready to buy some souvenirs from your epic trip, hit the big brand stores on the Magnificent Mile, or shop local in neighbourhoods like Andersonville and Wicker Park. And don't miss the chance to laugh until you cry at The Second City comedy theatre, famous for launching the careers of comedians like Tina Fey and Stephen Colbert.

Chicago is one of the biggest transport hubs in the Midwest, and provides easy access to nearby destinations ideal for day trips, as well as international travel from two airports. Thanks to plenty of coach and train stations throughout the city, getting to the Windy City is a breeze.
