This was hands down one of the funnest tours I've ever been on. Johnathan is very knowledgeable & entertaining. I loved all the history and fun facts. And what's not to love about having some cocktails while being bussed around & learning some new stuff. It is well worth the money and the time flys by when you're having fun! I highly recommend it. And I would definitely do it again.

A Must-Do in Chicago! 10/10 Jonathan was an incredible tour guide—knowledgeable, funny, and full of energy! He had a great way of weaving stories together that kept the entire tour engaging and memorable. His mix of history and humor really brought the Prohibition era to life. This was our first time visiting Chicago, and booking this tour was my idea. I'm happy to say my whole family absolutely loved it! We even capped off the experience with a meal at Harry Caray’s afterward, which was the perfect ending. If you're in Chicago and have some free time, definitely take the Prohibition Walking Tour. You won’t regret it, such a fun and fascinating way to explore the city!

AMAZING!! Took my wife for our anniversary/ her birthday. We did the original bus tour. Jonathan was extremely knowledgeable, funny, and easy-going, and he kept the entire tour engaging. Each stop was unique and had great drinks. Take advantage of the opportunities to eat when you can. They are worth it. Highly recommend the tour for couples and even more so for larger groups. Can't say enough good things about this!
