Chicago Gangsters and Ghosts Tours

About Chicago Gangsters and Ghosts Tours

Chicago Gangsters and Ghosts Tours operates a 2-hour, 1.5-mile guided walking tour through the Chicago Loop Vice District, combining historical gangster stories with ghost tales from the same locations. The tour departs four times daily and meets at the Royal Sonesta Hotel, guiding visitors past notable stops including the Congress Hotel, Death Alley, and the Palmer House—sites where Al Capone ran bootlegging operations during Prohibition and where 1920s gangland violence unfolded. Historians lead the tour in an intimate, historical setting rather than theatrical presentation, sharing accounts of famous gangsters and the spirits said to haunt these crime scenes. The tour accommodates families with frequent stops and restroom breaks. Children under 6 years old go free, while the tour charges admission for older visitors, with pricing available on gangstersandghosts.com. The venue has earned over 4,000 five-star reviews and operates in Chicago, Illinois.
