Overview

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

    Sample two types of pizza - Chicago’s deep dish and historic tavern-style – 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 a 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.
