Extremely disappointing. This was supposed to be a gangsters tour of Chicago. There was some history of Chicago in the early and late 1800s but zero history of Al Capone. No tour spot destinations of Al Capone hangouts. No speak easys. Nothing of the Valentine Day Massacre. Just two hours of walking around with nothing about Chicago gangland. Major waste of time and money. Not recommended.
