“An incredibly informative tour if you have an interest in the history of the mob. Knowing of the St Valentines Day Massacre since I was a child in the 1960’s, this tour takes you to the actual site. Extremely moving!!! You get to get off the bus a few times – one at the site John Dillinger died at. Definitely don’t miss this tour!!!!! Excellent tour guide!”

“Absolutely loved this Chicago crime tour. I’m really into mobster history — especially figures like Al Capone and John Dillinger — and this experience delivered exactly what I was hoping for. The stories were detailed, engaging, and brought Chicago’s criminal past to life in a way that was both entertaining and informative. The guide was knowledgeable, passionate, and made every stop interesting. If you enjoy true crime, gangster history, or learning about old Chicago, I highly recommend this tour.”
