My boyfriend & I had such a fun time! Andre was a great guide - keeping us engaged & having fun the whole tour. Highly recommend for a unique experience to walk around the city & learn about Chicago’s history.
We had so much fun attending this tour. We had a group of 6 and had to reschedule last minute due to very extreme weather. Andre was very kind to let us reschedule for the next day. We loved Andre's presentation and storytelling, and we continued to talk about the things we learned on this tour for the rest of the day. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning about the darker side of Chicago history. We were thoroughly entertained! Thank you, Andre!
