Tony our tour guide was fantastic! So knowledgeable. I would maybe bill this as more of a history tour with The Devil in the White City elements included. Still, I would definitely do this again. Also there was a little more walking involved than we were lead to believe. Not a problem for us but useful to know if you have mobility limitations. Also our particular bus did not have a washroom and there was no stop for same. I would definitely recommend this tour.

We had a great time learning even more tidbits about the 1933 World's Fair and H.H. Holmes. We had a good time!

Tony the guide !!!! The guide knew his information so well. He spoke with meaning and belief. His ability to tell stories was fascinating. We saw things of Chicago we had never seen before.
