Though, I am a native Chicagoan, I went on the tour to learn more about the history of its iconic millionaires. Upon arriving, my friend and I were greeted by an enthusiastic tour guide. He gave us a little background on himself, and then seamlessly began a lovely tour of millionaires row. We first learned about Fort Dearborn, and it's bloody battle, and how bodies are still found from time to time on Michigan ave. To McCormic place being built on an old cemetery, where the bodies may not have been moved. Then moving on to the stardom of each millionaire, to building a their empires that lead them to build such lavish extravagant mansions. To boozing sex laden scandalous nights, and some of the most expensive soreys, that were spoken about for years to come. I learned a lot about our iconic millionaire fore-founders. It was a night to definitely remember. I highly recommend it.

Our group had a fantastic time! We loved that it was an historically based presentation sprinkled with great stories and insight. Our guide, Tony, was wonderful!! He was informative and interesting. He answered our questions and even let us use some ghost-hunting equipment along the way. We would highly recommend this tour to gain more perspective on a particular time in Chicago’s past and have fun along the way.
