We had a great tour guide Jamie. She was fun and knowledgeable. We learned a lot. We were able to get off the bus at a couple locations (one had a bathroom break). Very enjoyable.

Our 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.

I 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.
