5.00Andre was a fun and engaging guide with great delivery. He was super knowledgeable about this topic, and also some other topics he probably didn’t expect to be asked about ;) I would recommend this tour to anyone, but I suspect families with kids would especially enjoy it because it’s not super risqué and Andre is so funny (I kept thinking how much my twelve-year-old would have loved it). The best part of this tour was seeing parts of Chicago I would never have found on my own. I had an absolute blast and guarantee you will too—don’t miss out!
Andre did an awesome job!...

5.00This was a fun time. It wasn't too much walking but we saw and learned a lot about some of Chicago's darker past. There was even history from this century which was pretty cool to go back over a hundred years to more modern times. We even saw a seagull eating a fish up close! Not part of the tour, but still very cool. The tour guide Andre was funny and friendly. Would recommend.
