While my husband was on a business trip I took this tour solo. The tour guide , Mike, was funny and knowledgeable. So many interesting nuggets of knowledge.
Liked guides passion when discussing gangster events, thanks Shannon, stop at Harry Carys was great.
Mike was a great tour guide. If you want to know about the mob and crime, this is your tour. I recommend this tour.
We had a fun time learning about Chicago crime. Sheila did a fantastic job and really knows her stuff. Highly recommend this tour.
Good tour. Bus travel was very good, great little coach. We enjoyed most of the trip but humour was a but lacking compared to other tours we took.
My girlfriend and I visited Chicago for her 50th birthday. We really enjoyed the tour. Ben was our guide and did a great job. The only thing we missed out on was the Valentines Day site due to construction in that area, so no fault of theirs. I would definitely recommend this tour if you are in Chicago.
Excellent- our tour card Shannon was fabulous- knowledgeable and lots of fun.We would highly recommend the tour and Shannon
A fantastic trip the guide was amazing and very knowledgeable
