The guide was super knowledgeable and I didn’t realize how haunted the Chicagoland area is! I would definitely book again if they have different tours!

Guide was super nice. Didn’t make me feel weird for being solo. Would do again and recommend!!! Must do if in the area, fun for all ages.

The tour was fantastic! It was so much more than a ghost tour. Rachel did a great job of showing us the city that she obviously loves. This is a must do while in Chicago.

Kathleen_S

The tour was kinda boring. A lot of stories were just "heard from another person" or a "friend of a friend". Not a lot of specifics

This tour was great! All together it was about 1 mile of walking. The meet-up location was easy to find and there was street parking. The tour was simply a walking tour where you stopped by different locations of alleged hauntings. Our guide was engaging, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. I believe their name was Josephine...

william_B

The tour guide Josephine was the best! She weaved together a little history with each location and we got to know why the area might be haunted.

Justin_V

The Golden Dagger story was creepy. I would like to visit that bar sometime lol. We were in front of the theatre near where Dillinger was killed and the lights for the marquee went out. That was scary.

Casey_W

Josephine took us to several haunted locations in the Lincoln Park area and was very knowledgeable, entertaining, and personable! The John Dillinger mural was really cool and I'm really excited that we got to see the Biograph Theater.

Josephine was well organized and prompt for tour. Meeting point easily found. Entire tour was enjoyable with lots of fun info, and did not require any special physical demands other than crossing busy intersections!

Justin_L
