5.00My wife, her parents and sister, and I joined Jonathan on the Original Chicago Prohibition Tour on a Saturday afternoon in early June. We visited four bars/restaurants, all via bus, learned a lot of history, and had some fun drinks along the way. It was a great tour with balanced pacing at each location, but Jonathan made the tour truly fun. Highly recommended!
A Must-See Tour!

5.00Our tour guide Jonathan was a wealth of knowledge! I'd recommend this tour for tourists and locals alike. It's a great look at the history of Prohibition, dispels many of the rumors we know, and provides tremendous insight on how this era still impacts us today. Do yourself a favor and book this tour!
Awesome tour with great cocktails!
