I didn't get many photos of this experience but I absolutely loved our tour guide Tony! He was so sweet and was so nice to me and my friends. He's really dedicated to his work and it's honestly so amazing seeing people making their interests into a career. I would take this tour again and I will be asking for Tony again he answered all of our questions and so much more. I learned so much with this ghost walk.

This is the second time I have taken this tour. Tony was our guide both times. He was outstanding. He is extremely knowledgeable not only about details related to this tour but also about Chicago history in general. We felt that this was both enjoyable and extremely interesting. We highly recommend it.
