Who this tour suits — and who it doesn’t

1
Thrill‑seeking sightseersA strong match for travelers who want a high‑performance, visually driven sightseeing experience and who are comfortable with a firm, sport‑tuned ride.
2
Luxury seekersWell suited to visitors and locals seeking an elevated, exclusive way to see Chicago’s lakeside corridor from an exotic vehicle.
3
Those with medical or pregnancy concernsNot a good fit — the operator specifically advises against participation by people with pre‑existing back, neck, or heart conditions, and by those who are pregnant.

Passengers requiring large seating or assisted egressProbably not suitable: the fleet’s narrow, performance‑oriented seats, specialized door hinges, and low cabin heights require that passengers be fully secured by factory belts and be able to enter/exit independently.
