    OMG! This was amazing! The narrative did such an awesome job! Directions were very easy to follow, his pronunciation is great & the way he articulated the story made me feel like me and my girlfriend were actually there in the era! The narrative voice is so impactful that each stop felt like we time traveled and was witnessing the events in REAL TIME! 10/10 and would recommend to anyone I know that likes history especially in there own city, if not more around the world!

    It was a little difficult to find starting area. The narration was excellent as was the driving directions. In some areas, very difficult to pull over to the side. Be prepared for a 2 hour tour. Disappointed there was nothing to actually see, you needed to use your imagination. Would have been nice to end the tour at a restaurant that went along with the gangsters theme.

    The tour guide was very vague in the detail on the vacant spots we were looking at. It’s hard to look at “historic places “ when the only thing there to look at is the land.
