5.00Ask for Dean you won't be disappointed, had a great tour of Chicago Fire and PD. Worth every penny. He was very accommodating picking us up at our hotel and back. Would never have seen what we did on our own. There were also a few other surprise stops. Molly's for a beer!
Amazing tour for any Chicago Fire fan

5.00My wife and I were in Chicago for the marathon and booked the tour for a few days after. Deen kept us well updated both the day before and, on the day, even when delayed in the Chicago traffic but he didn’t cut the tour as a result. He took us to see the Bean and then the Chicago Cultural Centre where filming takes place. (On a side note, my wife and I found out filming was taking place there the next day and visited and got a photo with Pascal) We then toured various other places of Chicago some of which my wife and I had seen on previous tours but still good. We then visited the Fire Academy another filming location and met various firefighters there, before heading on to the local police station where Chicago PD is also filmed and a quick peep inside. We then had what was the icing on the cake and went to the Fire Station (Chicago 51) – Sadly as we entered, all the fire rigs were called out, and we had to leave. I must stress; this was no fault of Deen’s it the nature of the fire service. However, he did say that we would still be welcomed if we went back at any time as the fire house was very friendly. My wife and I did indeed go back later in the day and got some great t-shirts, caps, and photos just as Deen had said. Finally, it was a trip out to Molly’s Bar. Unfortunately, again no fault of Deen, one of the other people in the party had cut time very short to getting a flight so we got some photo’s but skipped having drinks. But make no mistake, had that not been the case we could have sat and had a few drinks there as Deen was not rushing us. Deen was a friendly knowledgeable tour guide and even though it is only my wife who is a fan of Chicago Fire, I still found the tour fun, and she loved it. So, you know what they say, Happy Wife, Happy Life. Thank you Deen,
Great experience- Chicargo Fire Tour
