Entertaining tour with interesting tales but only one stop was an true public speakeasy - This was a super fun tour with Ryne as our guide. We started at a true speakeasy - Halloween themed with creative cocktails. It also had beer and wine. The next two speakeasies were rented spaces - so not genuine. He explained they do that so you have quick drink service and a quiet place to tell the crime stories but if you are looking to experience three genuine spots just know that isn’t the case. You’ll spend about 30-45min at each one. Still fun but not true speakeasy experience. Would have been great to end at a true speakeasy they recommend. We would have continued the fun there on our own.

Not worth the money - Not a real speakeasy experience, been on one before and defo not as good, bars did not look like speakeasy. Cost of drinks was horrendous and got dearer with each bar

I want my money back. - Very disappointed to say the least! Felt like this was a false advertisement. We were drug thru thunder and lightning. Tour guide was not very knowledgeable and didn’t always have answers to our questions! Couple of the stories felt very fabricated. Tour was supposed to be 2-3 hours we were abandoned after 1.5 hour. No ‘secret’ speakeasy everything was open to public. Only visited 3 locations we were told 4. I am requesting a refund!
