Overview

Taste some of Chicago's most iconic foods while walking through one of the Prohibition Era’s most fashionable and notorious neighborhoods. Learn about Chicago's world-famous cuisine and the gangsters who ate it all in one special unique tour!

Sample Chicago’s deep dish – as well as prime steak and the world famous “Chicago hot dog" all while treading the streets of Capone’s closest friends and dreaded enemies.

Highlights include a visit to an old tunnel used by prohibition gangsters in the basement of one of the establishments; a mansion once used as a brothel for gangsters; the Cathedral where gangsters were gunned down by Capone’s men; and a restaurant owned by the man who brought down what was left of the Chicago mafia in the early 2000’s.

Gluten-free/vegan/vegetarian options are available (please reach out prior to the tour to inform us of any dietary requirements.)
