Andre did an awesome job! He made the tour so fun. The stories were engaging and drew us in. We would definitely recommend to others!

This was a fun time. It wasn't too much walking but we saw and learned a lot about some of Chicago's darker past. There was even history from this century which was pretty cool to go back over a hundred years to more modern times. We even saw a seagull eating a fish up close! Not part of the tour, but still very cool. The tour guide Andre was funny and friendly. Would recommend.

It was a good tour with Braeden. Not overly sensational for the topic matter but very informed and respectful to the group and to the individuals discussed. Would recommend to others.

Andre was extremely formative and enthusiastic, fun to listen to. We thoroughly enjoyed this interesting tour. Highly recommend this tour. He explained some of the beautiful architecture, crime and ghost stories. The walk was enjoyable. We went inside some of the buildings. Macy's and the Palmer were beautiful.

What a gem of a tour. The host was animated, funny and told great stories about the gangsters and ghosts of Chicago.
The tour was well designed and made the city’s history come alive. My teenage boy, who has never been here, loved all of it! He indicated that “it was a great way to see the city! 5 stars”

I had an absolutely amazing time on this tour in Chicago! From start to finish, the experience was engaging, spooky, and so much fun. Our guide was knowledgeable and energetic, sharing eerie stories, real history, and local legends in a way that kept everyone hooked. The locations we visited were fascinating.
