Ethan was an excellent tour guide was made the trip fun. There is not a lot to see some of the famous things are gone. It was great to see the different neighborhoods

The tour lasted one hour and 30 minutes. I felt like it could’ve been a little bit longer. Ethan was the narrator and. Tommy was the bus driver. They both did a great job. Ethan was knowledgeable and informative about many mob figures. My favorite part was the hidden area under the restaurant.

I would advise anyone who liked and enjoys history mobster to take this guided tour. Very informative with humor. The host made sure we were comfortable and the bus driver drove carefully.

We sat up front on bus as we font hear well but lost s lot of commentary because the pacing was so fast. She had a timeline. For us less and slower would have been better.

Great tour! Our guide, Katie was excellent. She brought the history to life with colorful tales of Chicago mobsters and also a couple side stories of Chicago renowned. After having walked all morning, it was nice to be on a bus for a while with some super short walking stops. I went by myself and felt very comfortable.

Fantastic tour with a very informative guide. Only criticism is the majority of people on the tour would have liked to get off the bus to take photos of where the St Valentine massacre took place rather than just stopping.
