The routes avoid busy streets when possible, bikes are well-maintained and comfortable, and groups stay small enough that everyone feels looked after.

We do a food tour in every new city we visit, and Fran was one of the best! We loved learning all the details of the city as much as trying the food. We will recommend to anyone visiting Chicago!
