1. Offers tours on specifically set dates
2. Offers tours to anyone - you just book and go
3. Is largely comparable to the other tour companies in the list in terms of pricing, that means price is in USD, includes hotel costs, gas, tour guide etc. In other words, you should only pay for food, snacks and other private expenses.

Note: Every tour company in the table below, except for College of DuPage, has a window seat guarantee meaning you will not be stuck in a center seat with no good visibility. Also, every tour company  have a dedicated tour guide and a dedicated driver so that the driver is not responsible for BOTH driving and checking radar etc (which could be a traffic hazard). There could however be exceptions on specific tours.

7 day tour price: This gives you an understanding of the prices of the tours the company offers. If the tour company offers a 7 day tour price, this is the price. If not, this is the calculated price according to "price/day x 7" of another tour with the nearest amount of chase days. If there are 6 and 8 chase days, the price is an average of these tour prices. Also, if the tour company offers different 7 day tours with different prices this is the lowest price.

* = There are no 7 day tours. This is a calculated price
** = Price is calculated from a 14 day tour
*** = Price is based on an average hotel cost of $75 per person
**** = College of DuPage only have 10 day tours but are based out of Chicago, meaning that the actual possible chase days could be 7-8 as it includes going back and forth to Chicago. Price is also based upon sharing rooms, which usually renders a discount in other tour companies.

Price range: Price range from the lowest value to the highest value.
