Recommend to see many spots at night. - Great time with John C on the Winds and Souls haunted tour. Great stories of Chicago's history as well as many great views of Chicag's buildings at night.

Fascinating stories with a great host - Joe was a great storyteller who kept us engaged with his stories of mayhem. He spoken loudly enough and kept the group together so that everyone could hear and always invited us to ask questions. I appreciated that the stories weren’t heavy on the gangster side, but more on the disasters and supernatural as there are enough gangster tours to take to compliment these tours. I would recommend Joe and seek him out again for other tours.

Great Spooky History Job, Joe! - Joe did a great job. He was very knowledgeable and had a good sense of humor. There were just a few times when we couldn’t hear him, but given that it was outside and he was at times competing with traffic and train noises, he did great!

Good experience - Our guide Joe was incredible, he was funny and had all the fun and gory facts about the town. Nevertheless, I felt like we learnt a lot about places we didn’t have time for but a lot less about the places we actually got to go to. Otherwise, the night was really enjoyable and I would still recommend it to anyone!

Great tour, wished there were more ghost stories. - The weather was great for a walking tour! the guide was very knowledgeable, great history about Chicago but really wanted more ghost stories. Mostly stories of disasters, not hauntings. Crowd was a decent size, split us into two groups. Don't go if you're not up for walking.

Just ok - We have done numerous haunted/mobster walking tours in other States. This was our first in our home state. Meeting place outside Chicago Theatre was a horrible idea since there was a show and a lot going on. I had to call the organizer who decided to change the meeting place last minute. It was a big group of 20-25. The guide should have used a microphone as we could barely hear him. Tour took .5 hr longer, 8:30–10:30, too long. And the route ended far from where it started.

Not mad, just disappointed - I go on a lot of tours all over the world, this one was disappointing. The guide was using notes and it felt like she was reading from a script. Didn’t really research or have passion for the stories she told and didn’t even tell the stories near the locations where those stories occurred. I have been on other ghost tours in Chicago and those stories were told better and I was standing where they happened. I brought a friend along who had never been on a ghost tour and I was embarrassed, he’ll probably never join me for another because of this experience,

No Show Guide - We showed up ten minutes early, waiting 15 minutes passed the start time in freezing cold, and never got any updates or messages from the tour guide. They never showed up, and even customerservice couldnt get hold of them, very disappointing as my party was looking forward to this.
