Engaging and creepy tour of Chicago 100 years ago - Karinna was a delightfully energetic and engaging tour guide of Chicago ghost and gangster stories. She led us to many wonderful stops including the best view of the city from the Planetarium, a hidden gangster tunnel under Harry Caray's, and the Alley of Death. Karinna captivated with creepy tales of ghosts, murderers, and disasters that lingered long after the tour was over. A great way to learn about Chicago!
