Our tour guide, Mike, was funny, informative, and entertaining. I appreciated how well run the tour was. My 20-year-old so even liked it!

It was interesting if you are into history as I am. However it’s mainly a bus ride with the tour guide saying if you look to the left (or right) you’ll see where ONCE stood such n such house, building restaurant but alas it was torn down. You only make two stops 1) where Dillinger was killed (best part of tour) and 2) a stop at Harry Caray’s restaurant to see a tiny room in the basement that was uncovered during renovation that has safe and lots of photos.. The tour guide was good at his job, but I thought the tour itinerary was weak. NOTE: we went on the same day as the Antifa / No king crazys blocked streets and raised hell, so the tour might have been cut short, I don't know.

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.
