Our guide, Joanne, was amazing! We had a great history lesson about the fire and the Lincoln Park area and we had success with our ghost hunting! Highly recommend this tour!

It was a great experience. Enjoyed learning Chicago History and fun to meet the gentleman that gave us the tour. I would recommend this tour to everyone. Called my 14 year old after and told her we would be coming back just so she could experience this herself. Added photos without giving everything away! Wonderful weather that night! Thank you so very much for having this kind of attraction!

Solid History, Great Atmosphere, and Just the Right Amount of Spooky If you're looking for a fun evening that leans as much into local history as it does the paranormal, this ghost tour is a great choice. Our guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, engaging, and a skilled storyteller who kept things interesting without ever feeling cheesy or over-the-top. The route took us through some of the town's most quiet, shadowy spots, and hearing the history tied to each location added a genuinely cool layer to the experience. It’s an easygoing, entertaining walk that gives you a different perspective on the city. Whether you believe in ghosts or just enjoy a good historical deep dive after dark, it’s well worth booking.
