The guides were somewhat amusing, but the bus just blasted by the actual points of interest. There were some bits of history thrown in, but the emphasis was on entertainment. We almost fell asleep.

Great fun!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/02/08
The drivers/guides were very informative in a humourous way so that you found things out without being lectured. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience, including the fake gun fights, and would definately recommend it. Suggest you book ahead if possible though.
First, the bus did not show up for my group. The made us take 2 of our own busses! the tour was borring and a waste of 2 hours. There was nothing to see except places where something "used to be". Waste of money
This tour is a lot more than just the old gangster hot spots (of which, most of those are parking lots now) This tour is a hoot! The tour guides are hilarious and very informative. This is a very complete tour of Chicago so even if you aren't interested in the likes of Capone and Dillinger this is your tour to see the north side, the south ...

Great Mafia Tour
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/08/08
Went on the Trip last St. Pat's weekend. I had never been on a city "tour", so I was definatly surprise. I love the whole "prohibition era gangster" time of history and this was right up that alley. Learned many things about the founding of the city, and many different spots of the city where Capone and the Irish Mafia had ...

horrible...borring
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/24/07
This was a complete waste of time! We were on a horrible bus for 2 hrs... All the guy did was ramble on about junk that was incredibly boring! At the end we played a game i thought was gonna be fun, but it was some cheesy stupid game. the only good thing was when we saw the bullet hole in the church.

Worst Customer Experience
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/13/07
Do not waste any time or money with the Untouchable Tour. I've never had a worse experience. I made a reservation - they took my credit card number but did not give me a confirmation number. When I showed up at the correct time and place with my guests, they said they had no record of me, so I must not have made the reservation. They made ...

Coming from England and brought up on Eliott Ness we decided to take the tour, we were a bit concerned that it would be over the top and how wrong we were.
We can honestly say the tour was great value for money taking us to parts of Chicago we would not have dreamed of going to, the guides Al Dente and South Side were a hoot and very imformative ...
If you've never been to Chicago, put this on your list, especially at the beginning. This is an awesome way to see the entire city (so you can know where to go later) plus it was funny and educational. Going again in a couple of weeks with a group of teens.
