Ben was an enthusiastic guide. He was clearly excited to share his knowledge which was quite extensive. As it was a very wet day he was aware of making it the best experience by finding shelter to explain the history. We were a very small group which made it much more of a personal experience. Ben was able to offer us further information about Chicago and iconic places to visit.
Lark had a strong grasp of Chicago's history, especially the notorious gangsters who once ruled the streets. It was an enjoyable way to experience the city. The walking pace was ideal, some of the neighborhoods we passed through felt a bit questionable.
An amazing tour in Chicago. Lark, our guide was extremely nice and son thoughtful with so many interesting facts about the city, we did the gangster tour about the whole history of Al Capone and the crimes that went on in the city, which was actually super interesting and me and my family absolutely loved it, 100% recommended if you are visiting Chicago.
Really interesting tour made even better by Ben who made two hours both interesting and informative. Who knew what lurked in Chicago’s history.
Bryson was very knowledgeable and explained everything very clearly. He took us around and made stops to where he filled it in with information.
Lark was extremely knowledgeable, entertaining, and just a great guy and tour guide. His mixture of history, comedy, and story telling was amazing. Thanks, and thanks again. LS
Hi Larry, Thank you for sharing this! We’re so happy Lark made the experience enjoyable with his stories and humor. We hope to welcome you again in one of our tours.
Ben was a great tour guide, very animated and knowledgeable. He also was helpful with recommendations on what to do in Chicago. I really liked the historical aspect of the tour and how mobs, ghosts, and crime were all together as one.
Hi there, Thank you for the kind words! We’re so glad Ben made the tour fun and memorable. We truly appreciate your recommendation!
Lark was fantastic—knowledgeable, funny, and engaging. We loved it!
Ben is a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. He has expansive knowledge of Chicago and delivers it with humor and animation. This is an opportunity to learn Chicago history and walk in the footsteps of the famous and the infamous.
My 16 yr old son and I had Mitchell as our tour guide. He provided so much information and you could tell he really enjoyed what he did. We learned a lot and my son states this was one of his favorite things from our trip. Thanks Mitchell!
