Weird Chicago Tours — Attraction in Chicago

My girlfriend and I attended the June 15th, 2019 True Crime Chicago tour. I don't remember the tour guide's name, but I'm uncertain if I ever knew it. We planned our entire day around this tour and used it as a building block for our day. We were seriously looking forward to this true crime tour. To begin with, the tour is aptly named. The truest crime here, is the cost. We paid 84 dollars with the expectation of a great orator and a story that would leave us chilled to the bone. What we instead got, was a woman with all the charisma of a broken mirror. She lacked basic communication skills and frequently was side tracked when speaking. She jumped straight into a story and then immediately out of it and into random Chicago history. There was no transition or any possible reason for pausing one story to start another. It was impossible to follow and at one point she even mixed up a few of the subject's names. When we got to the first "site," we didn't even stop. We started passing this house and she said "Oh, on the right side you'll see the house of Bobby Franks." Numerous guests were questioning which house housed this poor little boy's soul as there was no warning as it vanished in the rearview mirror. By the time we got to the next "stop", we didn't even know what story was being told. This time, the bus did actually come to a stop for us to get out and see. Imagine the storytelling skills when only half of the bus wanted to get out and walk around the corner with this woman to see whatever it is she wanted to show us. With only 2.5 days to spend in Chicago, we decided to end our suffering that was this garbage tour. We got off with the few other tour members, but when the bus filled back up we were no where to be found. I know we weren't the only ones dissatisfied with our time, as numerous people on the bus were on their phones taking selfies on Snapchat and even one woman on Pokemon Go. We would have had a better time stopping at the nearby Best Buy and bringing up the Wikipedia page of different Chicago crimes. Now I know what you're thinking. Perhaps this tour guide was just beginning her career. She has supposedly been doing this for over a year. When we were reading reviews, we saw glowing remarks about these tours. We are pretty chill people and easy to please. This is by far the worst tour we have ever been on. Please save your money and consider other amazing things that Chicago has to offer like the American Writer's Museum, Planetarium, Millennium Park, or even just the...

I just took the Red Light District Tour this past Friday. The bus was a coach limousine which was very comfortable to ride in for the adventure. The bus driver was awesome! For those that are not sexperts, the tour presents a lot of shock value and sex education to make you a overall better lover. Additionally, the tour guide provides plenty of entertainment: raunchy jokes, stories of Chicago's historical involvement in the sex trade, and sex toy demonstrations. This is a great exploration for those that want to explore sex in numerous capacities- great for novices. An improvement would be to offer more historical information on the Chicago's sex culture and adult entertainment industry. Additionally, offer more points of interests for sexperts and people that have explored sex a bit more than others. Overall,...

My Husband and I went on the Haunted Chicago Tour on 09/30/2017 with Crystal as our tour guide. We went to 5 locations in 3 hours. The tour was not scary at all and I found the information really lacking. We spent a lot of time standing around in the Congress Hotel where the tour guide told us that she had so many stories she could only pick three. I would have liked to hear much more information. Instead we just waited in the lobby for her to tell us it was time to go. It was annoying. At the end of the tour, the tour guide made a statement about tips not being required, but always appreciated which I thought was rude. We finished the tour disappointed and will probably seek out another company for...
