1.00They fed us free pizza at the end of the tour last night.. intense food allergy symptoms since then due to the employee unknowingly to us using latex gloves to serve us without notice! Wish I didn’t end our trip with this tour. Horrible experience!

3.00There are just 2 stops. They don’t provide any context and assume you should know all the history, so if you are not fan and/or don’t know all the history don’t take this tour because you’ll get bored
Dane was awesome! He was entertaining and funny with the Dad jokes! He was very knowledgeable about a lot of facts, mob and city

5.00Awesome experience. Tour guide was informative upbeat and humorous. Sites visited were legitimate, real places where real things happened, from John Dillinger's demise to Nitti's vault. Bus was comfortable and spacious. Only wish they gad merch (magnets, t-shirt, etc.) to purchase to have as a takeaway from the experience.
Chicago Crime Tours was Fun!

5.00John was the best storyteller - he was so educational and engaging because of his relatable way of breaking down history! Highly recommend this tour. He even added a layer of Chicago food history as well and that was an expected surprise that took this experience to top notch. Must book to find out what that is but you will not be disappointed. Bravo and thank you John!
Fun time
