Larry was an amazing tour guide!! He mad it fun spooky and educational. Very funny guy!!! He got everyone involved and the tour was somewhat interactive. Me and my Fiancée had an amazing time!
Often imitated but never matched, this 3 hour ghost bus tour with stops remains the "Best of Chicago" since its founding 23 years ago by the city's ghostlorist, Ursula Bielski. Ursula and her team of veteran paranormal researchers and historians have thrilled thousands of guests with firsthand experiences of this, one of the world's most legendarily notorious cities. We take you where the other walking tours simply can't--to the many shadowed corners where the fateful tales began. From the Fort Dearborn Massacre to the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. From the Great Chicago Fire to the Eastland Disaster. From ghost ships that sail Lake Michigan to the Chicago origins of "Ghostbusters" And to the lair of the Devil Baby of Hull House.

It was rainy, but informative, interesting, and fun! Our guide was very knowledgeable and let us use EMF readers and dowsing rods to ghost hunt on our own. Even though we all got soaked, my boyfriend and I had a wonderful time and I’d recommend this to anyone who’s interested in the paranormal and/or interested in learning more about Chicago’s history, that you might not learn about on other tours or in museums.

Very informative. Lots of history about the city. Nice comfy bus ride, with bathroom which is a plus. Was raining very hard so we couldn't get out and explore.

We did this tour as a part of a Wedding anniversary adventure for my husband and I and this did not disappoint. We wanted to experience a ghost tour of chicago and came across this option with a package deal with the torture museum. Our tour guide Joann was a wealth of knowledge and even taught us how to use some ghost finding equipment. I learned so much about chicago and haunted places it was just a fun experience. If you into the macabre and ghost and spookyness then this is well worth it.
