This was a really fun and informative gangster tour. The tour guide had lots of interesting facts. I would recommend the night tour as it was more fun seeing the city at night and I liked getting to jump on and off the bus at various stops to see some of the tour highlights.

This was the highlight of my trip to Chicago. The tour guide Anna Rose was very knowledgeable and entertaining. I loved that we could hop off and walk around some places, especially The Biograph Theatre and Nitty's Vault at Harry Caray's Kinzie Street. The secondary bonus was seeing the Lincoln Park/Old Town area. Beautiful part of the city.
