This was a fun step back into some key events that shaped the history of Chicago. Braeden did a fantastic job giving us all this details and showing us some great parts of the city. Highly recommend!

There was one other person on the tour with me so it was super intimate yet fun. The guide was amazing. He kept us entertained while teaching us about Chicago ghost stories and crime. Worth every penny. Don't hesitate to book!

We had a great time! My son (17) and I are true crime and ghost junkies and Andre’s tour did not disappoint. He is an amazing storyteller and guide. Great information along with a true insight to the city. Walking was the way to go. We both would highly recommend the tour. 90 min, easy walking and it flew by all ages would enjoy.
Why are you still reading this review… you should be booking your tour!🤩

Andre is a great guide! We saw so many buildings that I was hoping to see in Chicago, and he had fabulous stories to go along with each stop. It was a bit chilly, so I really appreciated that he kept us moving
and had some indoor stops.

Andre was incredibly enthusiastic and showed me a whole different side of the city than I’ve seen before (as a native Chicagoan). I went with friends who were visiting and we had a great time.

Andre did a really great job making this tour interesting, informative, and humorous! He's an excellent storyteller, and his skillset brought the history of Chicago to life during the tour. Prior to the start of the tour he was extremely communicative to ensure we had all the info we needed for a smooth start to the tour. He also has good recommendations for what to do after the tour, so make sure to ask!

We had a lot of fun learning about the history of the city of Chicago. It was a pleasant little walk, not too far but with a lot of fun stories along the way.
Matt_W, Apr 2026
Excellent storytelling. The guide and tour owner Andre is passionate, knows history, and cares about his guests enjoying the tour.
It was a fun combo of haunts and crime.
The only negative was how the time flew by because Andre was so entertaining.
Highly recommended.

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!
TYanna_S, Mar 2026
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.
Katalina_E, Mar 2026

Nikki_P, Jan 2026
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.
Gwendolyn_S, Jan 2026
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.
