Loved it!

Alex_H, Jan 2025

Great, unique tour! Fun experience, loved the entertainment of solving a murder while also learning about the history of Chicago. Andre was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. 100% recommend

So So GOOD it is fun and great 👍🏽

Heather_G, Jan 2025

We had fun, the kids age 7,12, and 18 enjoyed it, and we all are going to book another one when we come back to Chicago. It's a MUST to start your Chicago experience.

Worth the time

Darrin_T, Dec 2024

Good history lesson, would be good for the family. I was impressed with the history that we never hear or learn about.

Exciting Murder Mystery Tour

Kim_A, Sep 2024

I had a great experience with my guide Andre. He was kind, easy going, and gave great info about the city of Chicago all while moving the murder mystery story along. Definitely a fun thing to do to enhance your stay while in Chicago.

Highly recommend this fun twist on your classic walking tour!

Lauren_M, Sep 2024

Andre was friendly and very knowledgeable on Chicago’s history. The tour route was easy to walk and getting to “interrogate the suspects” at each stop was very fun. Any true crime or murder mystery fan would enjoy

Mystery solved

Gretchen_t, Aug 2024

Learned a lot about the history of the past and solved a mystery. Had a great time. Andre is a great guide and very knowledgeable. Very pleasant walk. Andre told many stories but seemed interested in listening to ours as well.

Terrific Tour Experience

Christopher_N, Jul 2024

Terrific tour that leads you through Chicago neighborhoods that tell about prominent historical figures and architectures—all while being part of an active murder. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and personalized the tour. Would do another tour like that again in a heartbeat!

Be A Detective

Anita_P, Jul 2024

Excellent adventure that keeps you guessing and explores your detective intuitions. Be creative and enjoy

Fun Historical and Interactive Walking Tour

Brenda_M, Jun 2024

Our guide Andre was great. The mystery plot, characters and our path through old Chicago were well thought out. Should have done this our first day in town. Would’ve given different perspectives on history and sites we visited. Thoroughly enjoyed stopping at Newberry Library. And, should’ve gone with initial suspect, instead of switching at the end. Have fun with your own whodunit!

Fun time in downtown Chicago

Liz_W, Jun 2024

Little bit of Chicago history and trivia combined with fun. Recommend this for anyone teenage and up!

A must do while in Chicago

Chip_D, Jun 2024

Andre was such a knowledgeable and personable tour guide. I never had so much fun learning history and solving crimes. He will keep you on your toes.... So pay attention.

History and murder meet

Judith_C, May 2024

Our guide, Andre, kept us engaged, informed and entertained during the whole experience. If you’ve done the boat tour and food tour, you must try the Murder Mystery Tour. You will have lots of fun!

Amazing afternoon!

Melissa_A, May 2024

I did not get a picture of our full group but Andre was an awesome guide. I have recommended thus tour to some friends that will be visiting the city soon. I think it is important to note how flexible our guide was. We had a little difficulty with the waking and he was very gracious and altered his program slightly to accommodate. A great time was had by all!!

Great tour

Kenechi_T, Apr 2024

Truly a great experience. Andre truly was amazing and the mystery is so great. You can really tell he loves what he does

The Guide was wonderful...

Trina_O, Apr 2024

The Guide was wonderful as a historian and story teller. He was very knowledgeable and easily adapted his presentations to include information based on our personal interests.

Fun for the whole family!

Denise_F, Mar 2024

A really fun way to do a tour. Our family really enjoyed this! It was perfect for all ages (elementary daughter & high school daughter). Highly recommend

Fun and interesting tour

Kristopher_K, Feb 2024

This is a great tour! On top of learning more about the city of Chicago, we also solved a mystery. It was a creative way for groups to interact with each other. Our guide, Andre, was fun and engaging.

Murderous fun

Benjamin_W, Nov 2023

What a great time, Andre has put an incredible amount of work into a fun tour unlike anything else around. It is entertaining, incredibly interesting, unique and engaging. You get to see parts of the city that aren’t on other tours. Cannot recommend this more, fun for a couple, a family or group activity, it is absolutely worthwhile experience
