This was a unique experience, as this was our first time in Chicago. The time allotted for our small group to learn about architecture and crime was fabulously tied together. It was so much fun and interesting to learn about facts that change the history of Chicago. I would take this tour again nd highly recommend it to visitors.

Get the best of both worlds: explore Chicago’s stunning architecture while uncovering its dark past. Inspired by Devil in the White City, this expert-led walking tour reveals the secrets of the city’s skyline and its shadowy history. Now with 2 Christmas related stops, and the tour ending right by the Christkindlmarket. Led by a passionate local guide, you’ll visit architectural gems and hidden landmarks that boat tours miss bringing Chicago’s rich and eerie past to life.
