Chicago Crime and Movies Tour
Overview

1 hour 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
Mobsters and Movies takes you through the real haunts of Capone, Dillinger, and The Outfit—then shows you how the very same streets turned into movie magic. Walk the same corners seen in 'The Untouchables' and 'Public Enemies,' and hear how Chicago wrote the script for American gangster history. This isn’t just another sightseeing tour—it’s a front-row seat to crime, cinema, and the city that made them both.
Your guides aren’t just storytellers—they’re trained true crime historians, film buffs, and Chicago insiders who bring every scene to life. Step inside exclusive interiors where real mobsters plotted and Hollywood crews once brought the Windy City to the Silver Screen. We take you deeper into the story than any other tour can. Expect vivid tales, insider trivia, and behind-the-scenes stories that make Chicago’s gangster past feel as real as the movies it inspired.

5.00Such a fun an engaging tour! We had been on a walking architecture tour previously so we visited some of the same places, but there were entirely new stories that made the places feel new. Andre was such a great storyteller and told the story of Al Capone really well. He was able to point out shots in movies I would never had realized was shot there before. The length of the tour was great and well paced, but I wouldn't complain it if was a tad longer with a couple more spots. Overall a very engaging tour with a great tour guide! Highly recommend, even if your knowledge of all of these is very low.

5.00Cannot say enough amazing things about Andre and his tour! We frequent Chicago but learned more in this tour than any other tour we have ever done! He was great at story telling and kept us captivated from beginning to end! Great value for the product. I would highly recommend this tour to anybody who is coming to Chicago for the first time or the 20th time! With that, “We gotta keep moving”.
Best tour in Chicago!
