5.0Our tour guide Leah was awesome, very knowledgeable, & actually gives you time to look at all of the sites & artifacts. Was great to travel by bus to each site; especially with the extremely cold weather. The stops I liked the most was the Dillinger was Frank Nitti site. Tour was about a hour & a half. Would highly recommend.

5.0I was able to put a lot of places and names I’ve seen in documentaries and read about to real life. I also learned a few new things.
A great introductory tour

5.0This was fun and engaging. The perfect tour for such a cold night. I like that they stopped on occasion to check things out more deeply and I especially liked that they gave us a bathroom break. This is my second crime tour in Chicago and much to my surprise. It was not a repeat of a walking tour I did last year. That made this even more enjoyable because I thought I was going to hear the same stories and actually did not. There was some overlap, but not enough to ruin the second tour for me. If anything I would say this is a nice introductory tour and might be best taken before the walking tour, which went into greater depth about some of theoverlapped crimes. But, if you’ve done a crime related walking tour and are afraid this will be redundant, don’t be.
