Our guide Ty described the gangsters era in great detail and answered all our questions in detail. This tour is well worth doing as it shows a side of Chicago hidden in the past.

Braden was hilarious and so full of good information. The break in the middle was helpful after having already done a lot of walking that day. Excellent tour!

This was a fun walking tour - the start was pretty chaotic due to a memorial day parade, and our guide Declan took it all in stride.Our guide kept things lively as he shared stories about Al Capone and a few Chicago disasters. The ghost stuff was a little hokey, but never boring. We saw some sights that we would not have visited otherwise.

Andre was amazing and the tour was a lot of fun. I learned a lot about not just mafia history but some of the landmarks in downtown Chicago and the stories behind them. I’d definitely recommend this tour to my friends. Worth the money!!

Brandon kept us intrigued the whole tour. We learned so much and really felt Chicago and it’s shady and tragic past through Brandon’s story telling. I would definitely do this tour again and bring friends for a really fun night.

This tour is AWESOME! Braden was so engaging and totally knew his stuff, and he showed such awesome stops. Would totally recommend!! We went with our parents who were visiting in town, and we are definitely going to recommend to family members who come in the next couple months. Great tour guide!!!
