Overview

Our guides present an accurate account of the activities in Chicago during the 1920's and 1930's (Prohibition Era). You will hear about the exploits of Capone, Moran, Dillinger and the rest of the boys! Some sites included are: the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, the Biograph Theater, and Holy Name Cathedral. The tour is educational but also very entertaining because our Gangster Guides are actors. Our Untouchable Tour Gangster Guides take on the persona of a gangster and have fun with it.

Reservations are strongly recommended.
