Heart of Chicago-Yum!! - Fun trip. Sarah knew so many interesting details. This is a great tour to get a taste of all the Chicago food you hear about: pizza, dogs, and Italian steak.

A creative, combined tour experience that flies by! - I signed up for a less popular tour timeslot and ended up with a private session! Baylor was a great, friendly guide who kept things efficient and moving. The portion sizes of the food were perfect, since you are hitting several different spots over only 90 minutes. The stops on the tour worked chronologically with the gangster history. It is not all focused on Al Capone either, so you get a well-rounded history of the north and south side gang wars.
