It was an interesting tour, but I wouldn’t recommend the night tour, as you really can’t see the buildings at night. Also, the tour is only 2 hours long —not 2 1/2 hours. Otherwise, our guide was knowledgeable and made the tour interesting.

The history was very informative and our tour guide did a great job keeping us engaged. What I enjoyed the best was outside the theater were Dillinger was killed, so much history.
