Myself, husband, and 11 year old had a great experience. Tour guide was informative and we saw sights around Chicago we wouldn't have. Just the right amount of on and off.

Really great tour guide who told us so much history and entertaining stories about Chicago crime history. We had a few stops for photos but otherwise, this was mostly on the bus which was fine considering the amount of ground we covered! Definitely recommend for any true crime fans!
