This is a must do while visiting Chicago! Tour guide was very engaging and left us entertained. The two bar stops (drinks not included) were fun and full of history. This is a great way to experience the city!

The walk was totally graceless. Most of the time is spent inside the bus, listening to stories about Al Capone. The stops are not interesting; you get off the bus just to keep listening to the story on the sidewalk. There are no walks through the neighborhoods, nor a stop for a coffee shop in a cozy place. I would not return and I do not recommend. The tour was completely dull. Most of the time is spent inside the bus, listening to stories about Al Capone.
