    Payton was Great!

    Had a great tour with the best guide full of gangster history and great food. Really enjoyed! Thanks Payton!

    Definitely recommend

    Our guide, Baylor was 5 stars Lots of Chicago gangster history Terrific personality Food was great It was sooo much fun

    Fun but Incomplete

    Megan_D, Aug 2026
    Peyton was fun! She had great energy & loved the vibe but the stops & food did NOT reflect what we read & what was purchased. We did not get to try the Tavern Pizza even though it was listed & we did not visit the gangster mansion that used to be a brothel. The only reason I’m harping on this is because this experience was a tad expensive & it was explicitly listed as being part of the tour. So we are pretty disappointed on not getting those 2 listed things.

    Hamsters and Food

    The walk is short, the food was good and the stories interesting. We took lots of photos had a wonderful time!

    A quick tour with some...

    A quick tour with some fun facts about the mob influence in Chicago. In regards to the food you will sample 3 Chicago staples that were ok but could have been more authentic. Our tour guide was great and knowledgeable and very animated.

    Fun introduction to Chicago

    Talia was an awesome guide. I learned so much about Chicago history and the food here. 10/10 would recommend this tour for others.

    Quick food tour!

    Samantha_R, Jul 2026
    This was a fun quick tour of a nice part of the city. The food we tried was really good. It was fun learning about gang violence. Would recommend if you want to get a cultural food experience. Payton did a great job and knew her stuff.
