The perfect gift for One Chicago fans! - I booked this tour as a birthday surprise for my mom because she's a huge fan of Chicago Fire, Chicago Med and Chicago PD... and I genuinely have never ever seen her so happy! Every stop brought on a huge smile, a story about the show and characters, and a moment of "pinch me, I can't believe I'm here!" Deen took us to many wonderful stops that not only perfectly showcased the show, but also the city itself. As I don't really watch the shows, I was worried she would feel like she needed someone else with her, so it was amazing to have other fans tag along for the tour - the way my mom immediately bonded with them was the sweetest thing! I can't thank Deen enough for making our day such a memorable one, not only with his knowledge of Chicago but with his good humor and great customer service. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who is a fan of these shows!

Full experience with a personal touch. - My wife and I had an amazing time. Deen was super knowledgeable and smart about helping us to have the best experience. He helped us where he was able to get us access and allowed us space to help ourselves when it was best. We never felt rushed as he went over our scheduled time, and sat with us at Molly‘s for a burger. It was a great experience and I highly recommend his service to see Chicago and especially the Chicago PD and Fire. Definitely worth the money. We were also able to buy some souvenirs from the fire department.

Phenomenal experience!!!! - Fantastic tour with Deen! He was absolutely wonderful, taking us to several of Chicago PD and Chicago Fire filming locations and a few other great photo spots around Chicago. We were lucky enough to get inside the police station and the fire station where a young firefighter gave us a full tour of the place. It was incredible! We even were able to buy some souvenirs afterwards. We also went to Molly’s ( really, Lottie’s) for lunch and a drink. Deen was so knowledgeable and just has such a great personality. He knows Chicago!!! We spent 3.5 hours total seeing everything. He was fantastic!!! This tour is totally worth the money if you are a fan of these shows! We loved it!!! Great memory of our 1st trip to Chicago.

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.
