Reviews
My brother and I went on The Resurrection Mary 4-Hour Bus Tour experience with American Ghost Walks in May 2025. Tony was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and we both had a lot of fun!!! I've always been fascinated with anything Resurrection Mary so this tour was right up my alley. We got to use ghost equipment at a few places and got to stop at a cool Irish bar near the old Willowbrook Ballroom (as well as stop at Chet's Melody Lounge). The highlight was visiting Resurrection cemetery and seeing the front gates up close where Resurrection Mary bent the bars back. My mom is buried in that cemetery and my brother and I will be buried with her when our time comes. My mom and I picked that cemetery specifically because of Resurrection Mary. My mom used to dance at the old Willowbrook ballroom and loved the idea of being near there as well as going to Chet's Melody Lounge (bar) across the street. Thank you for a very fun experience!!! I would highly recommend this tour and our guide Tony. :)
Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about all things ghost and definitely knows his city. He was very friendly and we enjoyed our time.
It was so much fun and educational I’m not from Chicago so this told me about a lot of the history of Chicago. If I ever come back to Chicago will definitely do another.
