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.

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!!

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.

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!
