Great day exploring the shows locations - The wife is a big Chicago Fire and Chicago PD fan, so while in town for my birthday, we took a chance on this tour, and we couldn't have been more impressed!
It was a Friday afternoon, and we lucked out with a private tour (just us). Our tour guide, Dean, picked us up from our downtown hotel in a nice van. Since we've been to the city before, Dean customized the itinerary to skip some things we had already seen (The Bean), and instead showed us new places (the Museum Complex). Enhanced the value of the tour from the start!
Dean was very knowledgeable about the TV shows, as well as the city itself. He answered every random question we threw at him. Besides being a great tour guide, he was a very willing photographer for us at each stop (with a good eye for composition too!).
We had a great time that day, and we would recommend it to anyone with an interest in the shows. Sadly, we got there a few days too early to catch an actual filming day, but maybe next time!

Best Chicago and Chicago PD fan experience! - My husband is a Chicago PD junky 😊 and was completely thrilled to experience this tour. Our guide Deen was great! Very knowledgeable and knew all of the good spots for memorable pictures. We visited several Chicago sites and enjoyed every minute. This is a “must do” tour if you are hoping to see parts of Chicago and learn lots of history in one day. We highly recommend this tour with Deen. He was kind, knowledgeable and navigated Chicago traffic very well. Private tour was the best but a group may have been fun as well.

10 out of 10 - Excellent tour and the tour guide Deen 10 out of 10. Got me in to both the Fire House and Police Station used in making Chicago Fire and PD.
Then took me to "Molly's" bar for a Molly's beer, great place and staff very friendly.
After that took me around Chicago sites for some photos.
If your planning a trip look up Deen you will not be disappointed.

A dream come true - We did the Chicago PD set tour and our Driver Deen was absoflippenloutely fantabulous!!! I have a son with Down Syndrome and we move slower than the average folk and Deen was so patient with us. My son is obsessed with Chicago fire pd and med and Deen really listened to him tell his story of being here all the way from NH!!
Thank you so much Deen!! You are appreciated!!
