Terrible tour
Sheri_P
, Jun. 2022
Started out bad and just went downhill from there. Address we were sent to meet the guide was wrong. Figured out the correct location and caught up to the group. Guide did not seem to know much about the stops. Her stories were very vague and not much content. The tour felt disorganized because she kept back tracking to a location we just came from and a lot of walking in between stops with no stories. For an hour and half tour and a city so rich in history, there should have been more than 7-8 stories and locations

Real bummer

This was so boring. Tge tour guide seemed sweet. But she need to put just a lil more effort into everything her appearance and her story telling. Purchaser's be aware you will not be entering any stop its a dry tour. I feel money wasted our boat tour was 200 times better for just alil more in price. I was really looking forward to getting abit scared but was so sleepy and only stayed because I paid but I wanted to walk away in the first 15 minutes. Do better.
Disappointed

I was disappointed in this ghost tour as the docent was not believable or knowledgeable. The most memorable part of the tour was the lady questioning the validity of the stories as they were not presented well.
Meh!

Stories were interesting, but did not feel engaging. I was Friday the 13th, and we were looking for some good story telling.
Creepy but Fun

Laid back, nice tour

Tour was pretty good. All the stops are located within a short distance of each other so if you are looking to do something that doesn't require a lot of walking, this is perfect. Guide was very knowledgeable. Only bummers were that it's super short (about an hour) and you don't get to go into any of the haunted places.
Needs to get jazzed up a little. Dull comes to mind.

Not worth the $$. More walking that ghost stories.
Stories were a bit dull. Gangster part was ok.
Left early as it was getting pretty repetitive and boring.
Peeled off the group to do other stuff
Interesting!

Seeing the actual location where John Dillinger was killed. And although the tour was a ghost tour seeing OZ Park with the Wizard of Oz Sculptures was a very nice touch.
Spooky Springtime

This was so fun and informative! Great for an outdoor night out. We had a small group. Just remember to come 15 minutes early, and you’re meeting INSIDE the Julia Porter park (we made the mistake of going to the front corner part at first).
Scary Fun

I totally recommend the tour, our tour guide was wonderful and she knew a lot about Chicago and ghostly things, it felt very personal with many stops and talks rich in history. Oz park freaked me out
Totally recommend!
Fun and entertaining tour

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
