An amazing tour! - This tour was incredibly fun and informative! This tour covered so much of Chicago’s spooky and at times tragic history. Kevin was an amazing guide who led us through all the stops and stories at the perfect pace. He was conversational and knowledgeable, and I was engaged the entire time! I highly recommend this tour and thank Kevin for an awesome excursion!

Excellent storyteller! - We loved this walk where we discover the history of Chicago through its misfortunes and tragedies. Our guide, Josh, is an outstanding storyteller. He managed to make us live a great time, despite a storm that fell on us. This was the first activity we did when we arrived in Chicago. That’s great because later on, we had a better understanding of the other visits related to Josh’s stories. We highly recommend.

Amazing tour with Ben the G.O.A.T. - The tour wasn't quite what I expected - not incredibly mobster and haunt focused - but it was still well incorporated into a string of interesting historical stories. Our tour guide, Ben, was the absolute best! He was super high energy and well paced and good humor and positive energy made my day! I enjoyed the tour even more than I expected thanks to him. It's also a pretty light walk, considering the consistent breaks. Would 100% recommend this if you'd like to learn more about Chicago, particularly some gruesome and spooky stories. Thanks for the amazing experience, Ben!

I'd probably take a different tour. - The tour guide was a really nice guy. However, I took another tour here last year, and we covered so many more places. I was really disappointed that we didn't get to see some of those. Also, he could really use a portable speaker. The city is loud, and I'm hearing impaired. But there were others in the group that had a very difficult time hearing him. We probably heard 10-15 percent of anything he said.
