Chicago gangster & ghost tours — compare every walk and bus tour
In short: the most popular Chicago tour is the Gangsters & Ghosts walking tour (about $30), which combines Prohibition-era mob history with the city’s haunted side in one walk. There are also dedicated ghost tours, mob and crime bus tours, speakeasy tours and a gangster food tasting. Most run year-round and sell out around Halloween — book ahead.
The best-seller: Gangsters & Ghosts walking tour
If you only do one, do this. A guide walks you through downtown Chicago, weaving the Capone-era gang wars together with the ghost stories and grim history that haunt the same streets. It’s the highest-rated tour in the city for a reason — two themes, one walk, no filler.
