Feb Work Trip Fun - Highly recommend if you're in town and have a couple hours of free time. I happened to be the only person who signed up for this particular night (Feb in Chicago) and the tour guide was still AWESOME. If you like history and have any interested in ghostly happenings and hauntings, this would be a fun use of a couple hours.

Amazing - We had a great time with Lark in his walking tour , he explained us everything very patiently and spoke very clear, which helped a lot cause we're not native English speakers. He also recommended us plenty of places to have food and drinks while our stay in Chicago, we totally recommend taking a tour with him.

We froze our buns off but had a great time! - The stories were interesting, the content was as expected. The tour was on an exceptionally cold night (+3 degrees with wind chill) and our guides remained cheerful and animated, even ducking into lobbies of hotels when able for a quick warm up. The young man that was doing the tour was a bit too honest I think, telling us he hadn't done a tour in a while, apologized often for his errors, etc. We had a very small group (2 of us!) so it was very casual and we chatted a great deal. It felt a bit off book which was both entertaining and also a bit less professional than other tours I have been on. He definitely played to his audience. The other tour guide who was mentoring/shadowing him was the same. Lots of off book, again, made the tour feel personal, but it would have been better with less "I forgot this part" or "I am not sure." Overall, I really enjoyed it. This feedback is only constructive in nature.

Left the tour after 30 min - The guide seemed very knowledgeable and enthusiastic but also long winded and repetitive. We spent 30 minutes at the meeting spot with little ghost or mob tales and it didn't seem like things were going to get any better so we ended up leaving the tour. The tour says 90-120 minutes and the itinerary looks like an hour. When we got there the guide said it would be 2+ hours. It was a cold night so it would have been great to get moving. One adult and 2 12 year olds. Parking behind the hotel was easy.
