Program details

For a fresh perspective on the Windy City, see Chicago by Segway! Choose from four specially designed tours, two of which are seasonal, and each of which puts its own spin on this famous city. The Gangster Tour and the Haunted Tour are year-round adventures featuring some of Chicago's most notorious people and locations. The seasonal Halloween Haunted Tour takes a turn for the spooky and the Holiday Lights Tour is a real Christmas cracker!

Gangster Tour Glide through Chicago's sinister side, back to the time of speakeasies, hangouts and the crime scenes of some of Chicago's most notorious mobsters. Dare to enter the favourite haunts of Al Capone, Sam Giancana and Tony Accardo, among others.

Haunted Tour Brave the mean streets and darker paths of downtown Chicago, viewing the site where some of the city's worst disasters took place. Learn of Al Capone's affiliation with a notorious Michigan Avenue hotel, and hear the spooky tales of what went on within its walls. Shiver at the thought of the unexplainable deaths that occurred here, and the self-playing piano in the grand ballroom. Continue to Death Alley, the site of the Iroquois Theatre fire. Creep along the Chicago River to view the site of the Eastland Disaster, and to the former site of Fort Dearborn where a notorious massacre took place during the War of 1812.

Halloween Haunted Tour To celebrate the creepiest of holiday periods, visit Downtown Chicago's most mysterious and spine-tingling sites. Your guide will regale you with tales of haunted hotels, creaking houses, frightening ghosts, murders and gruesome disasters. Visit the chilling sites of Fort Dearborn, the Iroquois Theatre disaster, the Morgue on State, the Dead Alley and the past home of Al Capone's haunted yacht.

Holiday Lights Tour Witness Chicago dressed up in all its Christmas splendour! Glide along beautifully lit Michigan Avenue for great views of The Bean and to see ice skaters in action. Marvel at gorgeous holiday window displays at Macy's and stop at the famous Krist Kringle market for a tasty cup of hot chocolate. Get into the spirit with holiday carols and a view of the city's grand Christmas tree in Daley Plaza.
