Andre was Amazing! Very informative and kept the pace going. Not a dull moment. Would definitely recommend. Lots of history along with some ghostly facts.
Fun tour with a very entertaining and enthusiastic host! Easy walking, great Stories, interesting places!
This was a light and entertaining way to spend 90 minutes orienting ourselves to the area and learning a bit about Chicago’s more nefarious history. Our guide Sydney did a great job.
It’s fun, entertaining and good amount of walking. Andre was well versed in Chicago lore and funny too.
Very fun and informative. Nice small group for the tour. Would recommend this tour- Ariel was a very nice tour guide.
We had so much fun attending this tour. We had a group of 6 and had to reschedule last minute due to very extreme weather. Andre was very kind to let us reschedule for the next day. We loved Andre's presentation and storytelling, and we continued to talk about the things we learned on this tour for the rest of the day. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning about the darker side of Chicago history. We were thoroughly entertained! Thank you, Andre!
Wear comfortable shoes! They are a MUST as you'll be walking for at least an hour and a half.
Great!
Our guide just needed more practice. There’s a lot of information to remember and tell all of us about in 90 minutes. I think once she has more practice, she’ll be great.
We had a really great time. Ariel was a wonderful guide. Lots of fun stories and wasn’t too scary for our kids - 6, 13 and 16. Thanks again!
Ariel was a great tour guide and we learned a lot of interesting history and stories about Chicago's history. Unfortunately the tour does not go into any speakeasy's which we thought it would. Also, while it was great, because we went on a Sunday the few locations (dept store) the tour does normally go into were closed at our tour time.
We will definitely be checking out some of the locations further on our own the next time we are in Chicago.
Andre, our tour guide made our tour so fun!! He knows his Chicago History and has so much energy and humor. He is funny, engaging, theatrical, thoughtful, and fun!! Well done Andre!!
The tour takes you through macabre Chicago history, and you see the actual locations of the incidents. Interesting and informative…
I recommend the tour, and ask for Andre.
I actually went with Andre Tuesday at 5pm. I missed the night before and he was very accommodating and let me do the tour the next day. He was very informative and fun! I highly recommend this tour company!
You will learn a lot of interesting things about Chicago and our tour guide Andre was awesome.He made the tour exciting.
An awesome tour! Our guide was entertaining and knowledgeable and explained lots of the history of Chicago alongside the ghostly bits. Great fun!
Andre was very knowledgeable and clearly loved the city. He knew not only about mob boss history but he threw in a lot of facts in the architecture. Great all around tour.
Andre was an awesome host. He walked at a comfortable pace, was accommodating, engaging, knowledgeable, and funny.
Andre was one of the best walking tour guides that we’ve ever had and we’ve taken many tours across the states and Europe. His love for history, Chicago, and crime bosses was evident. Boring is not a word that would ever describe him! My 11 year old son loved talking to him and seriously wants to be BFFs with him! I highly recommend this tour!
Overall, a cool experience for someone who does not know much about Chicago and its history. This definitely made me want to learn more!
Is was great just wish we were able to walk into the places that we learned about vs walking by during the tour.
This was a really informative tour around Chicago. Learned a great deal about the history of the city. Our guide, Andre, was wonderful!
The tour was very fun! Our guide was knowledgeable and engaging and had lots of fun insights about the city.
Andre is a fabulous tour guide! He has a very engaging tour on Chicago’s dark & spooky history. My husband and I did this tour on a staycation and we learned so much about the city! Definitely recommend to locals or visitors!
Andre was a knowledgable and enthusiastic tour guide! Had a great time wandering the city streets peeking back at history.
Very informative for a tour lasting about 1 1/2 hours. Heard about incidents you have never heard of.
The amount of walking was easy.
Great experience, great tour guide very knowledgeable, very informative and interesting highly recommended
Dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes. Bring a bottle of water with you. Plan to have fun!
Great tour. Guide had lots of fun stories to share, the walk was easy with frequent stops for questions by our group members. Group was small, which always makes tours better. All guides refer to Chicago’s first serial killer but I’ve yet to be led by one over the last 3 years who’s read Devil in The White City! Just surprises me. It’s a great book by a great writer, Erik Larson, that gives much information about the city’s World’s Fair and the murderous H. H. Holmes.
Braeden was an amazing tour guide. He was very personable, animated, and he knew how to tell the stories in a clear and interesting way. He even had some great pictures to go along with his stories. I appreciated the way he brought the history to life. We learned so much and enjoyed walking through the different areas of the city. Thank you. Braeden!
braeden was our tour guide and he was amazing, full of knowledge and fun facts about the city, the mob and the ghost stories
Andre was informative, fun and made the tour a great experience. Loved seeing Chicago downtown area from a difference point of view.
