This tour was fascinating...

This tour was fascinating and Joseph was such an engaging tour guide! A majority of the tour was spent inside looking at interior architecture, with brief walks outside to get to the next destination (much appreciated on this 10 degree winter day!) Would definitely book again

Prairie Avenue Haunted History Tour and Ghost Hunt

Kayla_C, Oct 2025

Great historical/ghost tour of “millionaire’s row”

While in town for work I was looking for something interesting to do near the conference center/hotels by McCormick. This was a phenomenal walking tour of some of Chicago’s oldest residences built around the 1880s. The tour guide Tony is extremely knowledgeable about local history and a great storyteller. Definitely some haunted spaces, he gave us EMF meters to play with and we picked up signals in several locations. Highly recommend. Thank you so much!
