“We had such a great experience on the French Quarter Ghost Tour with Jill! She was absolutely wonderful—attentive, patient, and full of personality.

Explore Chicago after dark with family-friendly ghost stories, historic sites, and a 90-minute walk from Millennium Monument to Buckingham Fountain.

“Loved Joe. He was great. Would have given a much lower star score if he hadn’t been so great. Really rough start. He was told to meet at the bean and we were told to meet at the fountain. We sent messages, left a voicemail and even ran to the next site to see if we could find the group. It was a ROUGH start. But he was personable, entertaining and knowledgeable. He really really turned a bad situation around and I hope he is appreciated. Not a scary tour. My daughter was nervous, but really not overly scary. Just cool information.”
