Fun evening out! - It was fun to explore places we wouldn't have otherwise while visiting Chicago. We loved the historical information and enjoyed the way our host put a humourous spin on the event.

Super fun experience! - I had an overall great experience with Nightly Spirits accommodating our bachelorette group on the ghost tour! Hannah was our tour guide and was super funny, personable, and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend to anybody looking for a unique, spooky outing!

Great Kickoff to a Bachelorette Party! - This was the kick-off to our bachelorette bar crawl. Chloe was our guide and she was FABULOUS! So sweet, funny, caring, and knowledgable! She had fabulous stories and input. She was also just really interesting as a person. Our bride is a huge spooky girl so this was perfect for her! They even talked about her favorite cryptiod - Mothman!

Interesting and fun - My group is from Chicago and we didn't know any of the interesting facts and stories that was told that night. Our host Katie was super cool and funny. She brought us to really cool bars. Drinks were good, atmosphere was cool. I totally recommend giving this a try. For $25 a person it was totally worth the money.

A super fun and educational experience! - We came from Ohio to spend our 2-year anniversary someplace nearby. My fiance booked this tour and we had A BLAST!!! Cecelia was such a fun and personable host, taking us to some really cool bars and teaching us some really interesting history. We would 100% recommend this tour to anyone in the Chicago area or anyone traveling to the Chicago area because it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip there! We'd gladly do it again too!!!

Great Stories! - Our tour guide Mallory was very friendly and knowledgeable! We had a great group but at times the bars were very loud and made it difficult to hear the stories. Otherwise, it was a great experience.

Ghost your revisited - The tour itself was good as was our docent. Probably a bit too much down time as we walked around. We did, however, really enjoy our group!

A waste of time and money - A disaster from start to finish. Booked on 8:30pm tour and arrived at Lincoln Station at around 8pm. Found a guide called Chloe who was dressed as a Flapper to find she wasn't expecting us! Another two people turned up who were expected, and then another group of 5 who weren't expected who then disappeared. Lincoln Station is a large noisy bar, and it was difficult to hear what Chloe was saying, but it would appear there had been a mix up and we should have been with another guide. The tour moved across the road to an alleyway where John Dillinger supposedly met his end. Things rapidly deteriorated after this when we moved on. i was expecting to be taken past other historic sites connected to Ghosts and Gangsters but instead ended in another loud busy pub where you could not hear anything being said by Chloe. After another drink we were taken to yet another busy pub which had a duo on.

Absolute sh!t show - There are no words to describe how bad this tour was. Please save your money or at the very least make sure your tour guide is one named in the good reviews.
