Entertaining and informative - It was nice to be able to sit back and look at everything around you while a) someone else was driving and b) someone was explaining to you what you were looking at. The tour was fun and Marie was adorable. Most of all, I enjoyed seeing Chicago as it was broken down by gangster territories. Informative and entertaining. I would do it again.

Would highly recommend - Upbeat from the word go! Marie stayed in character and had me convinced she really was a gangsta's moll! Learned tons about the different mobs, their haunts, their demise and its effects on Chicago. Additionally went through neighborhoods like Pilsen, Chinatown, Greektown, Maxwell Street, learned so much local Chicago lore. Would highly recommend this tour, even if you've lived in Chi-town your whole life, you will come away with new perspectives. A fun 90 minutes!

Hidden gem, do it before it gets over popular - Brilliant tour, Johnny Rocko was a great guide. Good with his history and liked the fact that he showed us where some of the Blues Brothers was filmed. Very good way as well of seeing Chicago. There wasn't many on our tour, l feel it is a hidden gem, so if in Chicago take the tour, it's cheesy fun but you will learn a lot and see the city as well.

Fun informative gangster tour and beyond. Authentic delivery and thoroughly enjoyable trip - Excellent tour, we both thoroughly enjoyed it. Loved the characters on the coach, Johnny Rocco and Henry the driver were very entertaining. Relaxed and informative, slight hold up whilst we waited for the Chicago river bridges to close but commentary continued to keep everyone’s interest. Covered so much of the city including history of Chicago in addition to the gangsters elements. Local landmarks pointed out which we appreciated. Commentary was delivered in character, informative and funny. Easy to find pick up / drop off location and booking direct with the company was seamless.

Kinda slow and not much interaction - The moderator was great - very knowledgeable but, I took this tour about 5 years ago and it was much more interactive with other “gangsters” on the bus.

Watch where they sit you - I enjoyed the tour and our host Marie was entertaining but… there were five adults in our group and were situated in the back of the bus the two end seats have the wheel hump in their foot space and made for extremely uncomfortable two hour ride. Also it was way too hot in the back sitting with our backs to the engine. I believe the vents need to be closed up front to provide more cooling in the rear These issues caused a less than stellar afternoon
