The tour is excellent. The guide, Jonah, is fantastic; he was able to give us the tour in Spanish since he speaks it fluently, and everything was perfectly clear, which is exactly what I was looking for.

Shoutout to our tour guide max. He was very entertaining and chatty. I had a blast and learned more than most of my college lectures.
Jared was an awesome tour guide! So knowledgeable about the history of New York and told everything in a very interesting way. The 2 hours of the tour flew by. Despite living in New York, I learned so much! Thank you Jared! Highlight of the tour was The sopranos set stop.
I was fortunate enough to be the only person on the tour so thankfully Gabe was a brilliant tour guide, we got on like old friends. The tour was both educational and entertaining, I recommend booking this tour.
ALAN WAS GREAT! He was very knowledgeable and engaging!
Chris was very knowledgeable and did a wonderful job telling the history and ghost stories of Chicago. My husband and I learned so much and it was all very interesting. The tour was about 2 hours with a stop for restrooms and concessions. I recommend this tour if you’re visiting Chicago!
