Tea Around Town - Yummy treats

Giving two stars because I gave tea around town Chicago 2 tries and both times disappointed me for…read moredifferent reasons. I decided to give them the second try, after seeing them featured in March on a WGN Around Town segment by my Fav Anna B. who asked ALL the right questions. I then learned exactly how abbreviated my tour was when they traveled to Museum Campus, featuring some of the Best Views of Chicago's Skyline. 1. Feb 2026 event, the bus was decorated inside with Fall Foliage and colors, instead of the advertised pink/white tea party vibe. Tour started about 40 minutes late, waiting on guests to arrive and some still never showed. During the tour, the bus stalled, completely shut down at least three times, further abbreviating the tour. We didn't receive the correct number of tea tastings advertised and we weren't offered honey or sweeteners. The bus abruptly returned to home base early to avoid shutting down again. Tour Team was engaging, entertaining, knowledgeable of the city, and amazing! Truly tried to make the best of a bad situation. 2. May 2026 event, received an email that the tour would be delayed, less than an hour before the scheduled departure. Bus was beautifully decorated and the Tour Team was incredible. We came prepared this time with fresh lemon, honey sticks, and jars. Very noticeable when we arrived, no souvenir cups. Teas were served in white paper cups which prompted me to ask if they would have the souvenir boxes at the end of the tour for our leftovers. No cute souvenir boxes either. Still didn't get what we paid for which is disappointing. I believe we did get the entire tour this time and we came prepared with our own extras. Not sure if other cities have better success but Chicago may need to press pause, work out the kinks, and come back strong in true CHICAGO form!

This review is way overdue. We went to Tea Around Town over a year ago during the summer, and it…read morerecently popped back into my mind. Overall, we had a good time. Check in was quite smooth, and the pickup location was close to the New York Public Library, which made it easy to find. The bus also arrived right on time, which I always appreciate. We purchased the first tier tickets, not the most expensive option, and I did notice that seating seemed to be assigned based on ticket level. We were seated toward the back end of the bus. If seating location matters to you, that is definitely something to consider when booking. I also noticed the bus itself felt slightly run down. Part of the ceiling looked like it had cardboard or a temporary patch, which was not the nicest detail. Aside from that, though, the ride itself was pleasant, and I really enjoyed taking in the city views while cruising around Manhattan. The entertainment was the highlight for me. The live singing, especially the male vocalist, really made the experience feel special and elevated the atmosphere. Everyone working there was very friendly, which added to the positive vibe. As for the tea and food, it was just okay. Not terrible, but not very delicious either. I do wish I had upgraded to the better meal option, especially since even the lowest tier ticket was not exactly cheap. I think paying a bit more for better seating and upgraded food would make a noticeable difference in the overall experience. In the end, we had a really good time. It is a fun and unique way to see the city, and the entertainment truly carries the experience. If I were to go again with friends, I would definitely opt for the higher tier ticket. Overall, a strong 3 stars and a great experience!
