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!

4.00Fun tour that was good after a lot of time walking during the day. The guide was excellent with a good mix of informative and entertaining. We spent most of the time on the bus, with a few stops to get out and see where some of the major events in Chicago crime history happened.
Enjoyable and Educational

5.00We live in Chicago and didn't realize how close we were to some of the most infamous locations in the city. Jamie did a great job in narrating the background and history and making the past come alive. If you can, I recommend doing the day tour to be able to see the locations and the surrounding areas better.
Great tour! 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5.00I loved it.The story teller was knowledgeable and entertaining. We really needed more time at Harry Carey's. There wasn't enough time to see the tunnels and use the restrooms.
Great Gangster History!
