Mob and Haunt tour

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!

Chicago History

Very interesting walk. Like many of the tours they focus on the buildings and the stories associated with them, so as you can imagine there is considerable overlap. But overall it was a great way to walk around the main part of the City and enjoy the sites. The tour guide was very welcoming and seemed to really enjoy telling us about the history.

Highly recommend this tour!

Awesome ghost/mob walk with Bryson tonight. Accounts of ghosts and spirits and in depth background on the mobs and history of the area. He threw in extra super interesting facts about the city that I had no idea about. Accommodating and professional. Great time!

For younger kids <12, and those with English as a second language it might be difficult to understand. But our guide was very kind and thoughtful; and I really like how he ended the tour/scary stories on a positive note!

So much more than we could have expected!

What an amazing tour! The knowledge our guide, Bryson, had was so much more than we even expected. Between stops and stories, he told us all about other random locations we passed and answered every question we had. He was fun, educated on the entire Chicago area and ensured we were all able to hear him despite the loud bustle of the city moving around us. I'd recommend anyone to book this tour!
