Cold night but so worth it- cool experience! - Wonderful evening spent with Kevin the tour guide! Even with the cold windy weather it was a very interesting tour, filled with facts about Chicago’s dark side. Enjoyed the tour. Be prepared to walk up and down a few flights of stairs. There was a few times it was difficult to hear with the traffic, trains and being a larger group probably didn’t help. Kevin answered questions and was so informative and very entertaining as well!

Great Tour - Kevin was a great guide. The kids enjoyed it as much as the adults. Great stories and a beautiful walk around the city at night. Would do this again.

Learned about tragedies I’ve never heard of! - I found it very informative. I do not live far from
Chicago and it was shocking to learn about a few disasters I’ve never heard about. The Al Capone info was cool too.

Good tour, but more ‘Mobs’ needed - Did this tour on a beautiful clear (& not too chilly) February evening. It was my first night in Chicago on a business trip, so it was a great way to orientate myself and hear more about the city. The 4 star reflects that I was hoping for more on the Mob element of the tour. It was covered a bit, but I’d say much more focus on the Haunts element, basically covering other tragic disasters in Chicago’s history. Interesting and informative, but Ieft me wanting a bit more.

Could have been better - It was okay. We did not get as many stories and infos as I thought for an hour and a half walk. Most stories were not really believable, probably cause of the guide who lack a bit of charisma.
