Our guide, Davey, was very good. We enjoyed walking through the sites at night and hearing the gangster and ghost history. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Chicago. We would have missed a lot being on the bus tour versus the walking tour. So I’m glad the weather held up for us.
Highly informative, our guide explained so many things that when I returned to our hotel I goggled them......very interesting never knew there was so much history in Chicago.......will return and do again
My colleague and I were in town for business but decided to do the tour in the evening when we had some down time. It was fun! And gave us an opportunity to do some additional site seeing around the city. Dylan (tour host) made it exciting!
Our tour guide provided interesting early Chicago history (1871 fire, theatre fire, etc) that led to improved building safety regulations. Good Capone and ghost Stories too. We enjoyed the tour a lot!!
Very knowledgeable and fun, including corny jokes!!! I would recommend the tour to anyone visiting Chicago!
We could not have done better than this Gangster and Ghost tour! We did a boat architectural tour also on this trip and....snooze. This tour was SO much better! Lauren was so fantastic that I would suggest you all request her tour.
Was super fun! Our host, Dylan, was very animated and the history of Chicago itself is very interesting. We covered a lot of ground and it’s nice to know the history of the buildings around.
We had a good time on this tour. Our guide, Lauren was energetic, fun and knowledgeable. Would recommend this tour.
My grandson and I enjoyed it very much. Our tour guide, Dillon was the BEST! It was one of my favorite things we did on our first trip ever to Chicago. Would highly recommend and tell them to ask for Dillon.
Davey our guide was terrific. He was very knowledgeable and informative. It was interesting to learn about Al Capone and Dr. H.H.Holmes in particular.
8:00 pm start on a cold night. Guide Lauren was warm and lively, packed a lot of info into a short time.good variety of locations, lots of fun facts. A nice way to start our Chicago visit!
We really enjoyed our 2 hour tour with Stefan. He had lots of grusome tales to tell and fantastic knowledge about some of Chicago's quirky architecture. Thanks!
It was cold but it was good experience
As a frequent tour taker all around the globe, I must say this was the most interesting and special tours. The highlight was defiantly getting to go into the super famous and haunted Congress Hotel. We saw the lobby where H.H. Holmes picked up his victims, the infamous room 441 and Capone’s Suite!
