Awesome experience. Tour guide was informative upbeat and humorous. Sites visited were legitimate, real places where real things happened, from John Dillinger's demise to Nitti's vault. Bus was comfortable and spacious. Only wish they gad merch (magnets, t-shirt, etc.) to purchase to have as a takeaway from the experience.

John was the best storyteller - he was so educational and engaging because of his relatable way of breaking down history! Highly recommend this tour. He even added a layer of Chicago food history as well and that was an expected surprise that took this experience to top notch. Must book to find out what that is but you will not be disappointed. Bravo and thank you John!
