5.00The Chicago Crime Tour with Dane was fun and captivating! We saw more crime sites and heard more crime stories than we were expecting to! Dane's commentary was excellent - he was so funny and animated. He had the whole bus on the edge of their seats with the stories and he was so funny!
Awesome! I would highly recommend this to everyone!

5.00We loved the Chicago Night Crimes Tour by Bus. It was such a fun and entertaining way to spend our first night in Chicago. It was a great choice because we got to see the city, learn so many interesting stories, and stay warm on the bus instead of being out in the cold. We learned a lot about Chicago’s history, the famous crime cases, and the real locations where everything happened, which made it even more interesting. Our guide, Madeline, was fantastic. She was engaging, knowledgeable, and made the whole tour feel lively from start to finish. We would definitely recommend this tour, especially if it is your first time in Chicago and you want something different, fun, and easy to do at night.
