About Chicago Crime Tours and Experiences
We came for the food but stayed for the tea. Once the tea was spilled, there was no putting it back. When we first began learning more about Chicago’s gangster history, we were hooked and couldn’t wait to learn more. It all started with the joy of hosting people from all over the world and sharing both the light and dark sides of Chicago. The tour has evolved into a unique Chicago experience that brings people together to learn and have FUN!
We are a small, locally owned, family business. As urban archeologists we conduct ongoing and extensive research of Chicago’s historic crime scenes. The true-crime stories are curated from many primary sources and authors, including the late Art Bilek (published author and former Chief of the Cook County Sheriff’s Police), retired Chicago detectives, confidential sources, and many more. Chicago Crime Tours and Experiences is internationally recognized and has been featured on the WGN Jonathan Brandmeier radio show, WCIU’s The Jam Morning Show and more.
