Interesting and personable tour guide, gave us a good history and architecture breakdown of Chicago as well as some food recs!
Fun and informative tour, we covered a lot of different buildings and stories.
A wonderful ghost tour of Chicago with our tour guide Andre. Very fun way to spend our first night in Chicago.
Andre was entertaining, informative, and fun! My friend and I really enjoyed his Haunted Chicgo Tour. Although we both live in Chicago, we learned a considerable amount. I recommend Andre's tour for visitors and locals.
The guide was engaging and fun and the history covered in the tour was really interesting. Overall, I really enjoyed the tour and would recommend to anyone who likes ghosts or true crime :)
We had Andre as our tour guide, and he was funny, entertaining, and knowledgeable. Saw so many spooky places that I’d love to return to later at night. There was also a great mixture of Chicago history sprinkles in.
Fantastic ghost tour! Andre is hilarious and knowledgeable about all things spooky, crime and Chicago. Highly recommend
This tour was fantastic! I highly recommend!
Our guide just needed more practice. There’s a lot of information to remember and tell all of us about in 90 minutes. I think once she has more practice, she’ll be great.
This was so amazing and so fun and our tour guide was amaIng!
