Hmm, not familiar with this tour but I think I'll check it out,(although 2 1/2 hours seems a bit long...maybe it involves a lot of travel time).

I did one in Savannah a while back and it was a hoot! Of course, Savannah has an entire cottage industry focused on ghosts and hauntings...

I actually went on this tour last week. Our tour was much shorter than advertised, just under 2 hours, which was disappointing. I enjoyed the history lesson, but otherwise didn't feel it was worth my $30. For a tourist or someone new to the city, I think it would be more exciting. We visited the Eastman Riverboat accident site on Wacker Drive, Harpo Studios, Hull House on the UIC Campus, the alley behind the Oriental Theater and that scary looking nightclub in River North. All sites within a mile of my office or home, so driving by them on a bus wasn't anything I couldn't do on the CTA. The guide, however, was very knowledgable and taught me a lot about Chicago's history. I'd recommend for seasonal tourists, but otherwise - take a pass!!
