Description
Experience Chicago in a fun, active way on our Chicago E-Bike Tour: Lakefront, Skyline, and Museum Campus. Whether you're visiting Chicago for the first time or you're a local looking for a new way to explore your city, this two-hour guided e-bike adventure combines famous landmarks, beautiful parks, Lake Michigan, and unforgettable skyline views.
After an electric bike orientation and safety briefing, begin near Millennium Park and Maggie Daley Park. Ride through Grant Park's gardens and open green spaces before stopping at Buckingham Fountain, one of Chicago's most iconic landmarks and a perfect spot for photos with the skyline and Lake Michigan.
Continue along Chicago's scenic lakefront past Monroe Harbor toward Museum Campus. Your local guide will share stories about Chicago's history, architecture, culture, and people as you see the Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, Adler Planetarium, and Soldier Field, home of the Chicago Bears.
You'll also discover places and stories many visitors — and even Chicago locals — miss. Learn about Chicago hero Milton Lee Olive III and ride out to Northerly Island, a former airport transformed into a peaceful lakefront park. Its trails, prairie landscape, Lake Michigan views, and dramatic Chicago skyline make it a highlight of the tour.
Our comfortable electric bikes make it easy to cover more ground than a walking tour while still experiencing Chicago outdoors and up close. You'll travel approximately 7–9 miles, primarily through parks, lakefront areas, and bike-friendly paths with minimal street riding.
This small-group Chicago electric bike tour is great for visitors, couples, families, friends, solo travelers, staycations, and locals looking for something different to do downtown.
