Chicago Gangster Untouchables Tours
One of the best ways to learn more involved details about the colorful lives of the 1920s Chicago gangsters is to rely on the experts and take a Chicago gangster tour: Untouchable Tours. On this tour, your will be led all around the city to old gangster hangouts and shootouts. Upon entry to the black bus (modeled after Al Capone's black, bullet-proof Cadillac), you will be greeted by well-informed guides dressed in zoot suits, of course. Tap your fingers to the hip blues songs of the 1920s and 1930s while learning about everything from Deanie O'Bannion's passion for flowers to Al Capone's various nicknames.
During the drive through many of Chicago's eclectic neighborhoods form the North to the South side, the guides point out and tell the stories of the famous speakeasies, shootouts, and other hot spots frequented by gangsters. Although many of these sites have been remodeled, it is still possible to see that the gangsters have permanently left their mark around Chicago. The crowd-pleasing and joke-cracking guides keep the bus captivated and the two-hour Chicago gangster tour flies by.
The bus tour is conveniently located at the corner of Clark Street and Ohio Street right outside of the two-story Rock N' Roll McDonalds. Unfortunately, there is no sign for the bus, but it pulls up about 20 minutes before the scheduled tour.
The black bus decorated with fake gunshots and white lettering is unmistakable. Although it is suggested to make a reservation by calling the Untouchable Tours office, there are usually a few free seats for walk-ons. If you happen to miss the bus or plan on having another adventure before or after the tour, you can shop like a high-class gangster on Magnificent Mile, which is mere steps away from the drop-off location.
