Connor was an awesome tour guy! Made the whole thing very exciting, interesting and interactive. Great tour through Chicago downtown. Definitely get the late evening group, it's much more spooky.

Great guide, cold day, fun group. We walked about 1.5 miles and got stories of tragedies and gang killings around the south side of the Chicago river and the old World’s Fair site. Adam was a great guide.

We had a great tour with Kai. Very informative and fun! A good walking tour, with a short break halfway through which was appreciated.

Kai was a great guide! Very informative, interactive and friendly. The tour was 2 hours long with a 15 min break in between at the Palmer House Hotel. Highly recommend to do the tour at night!

We had a great tour this evening. Our Guide was Stefan, he was awesome. He was a great guide, informative, interesting, amusing and helpful and it was a fun way to find out about the darker side of history in the city. We couldn't believe how quickly the time passed, and for the most part we forgot how cold we were lol.

I’ve lived in Chicago for over 10 years and always wanted to do this tour. I learned so much from Conor, the guide. The ghost stories were particularly fascinating.

The tour had a lot of interesting facts about things I’ve never heard of before and took us to places I didn’t know existed. Greatly recommend!
