Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Chicago Crime and Mob Tour? Can kids join?

A: Yes, kids can join the tour! The age limit is pretty flexible, but I’d recommend it for ages 12 and up since some topics can get intense. Just keep in mind that the tour includes some historical crime stories that might not be suitable for younger children. It's a great educational experience for pre-teens and teens though. Bring your kids to see the Biograph Theater, they’ll love the ghost stories!

Q: What happens if the weather is bad? Do they cancel the tour?

A: They usually run the tours rain or shine since it's a climate-controlled bus! However, if there's severe weather like a thunderstorm, they might cancel for safety reasons. In case of cancellation, they will notify you and offer a reschedule or a refund option. So don't stress about a little rain!

Q: What should I wear on the mob tour? Is it casual?

A: Casual is definitely the way to go! Most people wear comfy clothes since you’ll be sitting on the bus and getting on and off at various stops. I’d recommend wearing something you don’t mind getting a bit dirty if it rains, and good walking shoes are a must for when you hop off to explore spots like Holy Name Cathedral. Oh, and don’t forget your camera for those photo ops!

Looking for a unique gift? How about the Chicago Crime Tour!

I recently gifted my brother the Chicago Crime and Mob Tour for his birthday, and he LOVED it! The stories about Al Capone and H.H. Holmes were so captivating. We made stops at iconic places like the Biograph Theater and even took some awesome photos outside Harry Caray's. The guide was super engaging and shared a ton of interesting tidbits. If you’re considering this for a gift, I highly recommend it!

Anyone done the Chicago Crime Tour? What to expect?

I’m planning to take my girlfriend on the Chicago Crime and Mob Tour next month. We’re both really into true crime and Chicago history! Just wondering if the bus is comfortable and how the group size is? Also, are there any stops where we get off the bus or is it mostly on the bus? I'm really excited about this!
