PROHIBITION TOUR
From the “down and dirty” gangster hangouts, to the “jackets required” establishments for Chicago’s elite, this tour of several local Speakeasies is an in depth look at prohibition. You will learn about the factors that led to prohibition in the first place, the groups that fought for it, the groups that opposed it, how it was ratified to the constitution as the 18th amendment, the problems it caused, the names it created (both famous and infamous), its failure, repeal and lasting impact on the US. You will also learn what the speakeasy actually was, including dispelling the Hollywoodized version many people imagine.
LOCATION: Meet in hotel lobby. Participation is optional. FEE: $175 per person. Fee includes tour, transportation, libations and light snacks. There is a limit of 40 people on this tour.

PROHIBITION TOUR
From the “down and dirty” gangster hangouts, to the “jackets required” establishments for Chicago’s elite, this tour of several local Speakeasies is an in depth look at prohibition. You will learn about the factors that led to prohibition in the first place, the groups that fought for it, the groups that opposed it, how it was ratified to the constitution as the 18th amendment, the problems it caused, the names it created (both famous and infamous), its failure, repeal and lasting impact on the US. You will also learn what the speakeasy actually was, including dispelling the Hollywoodized version many people imagine.
LOCATION: Meet in hotel lobby. Participation is optional. FEE: $175 per person. Fee includes tour, transportation, libations and light snacks. There is a limit of 40 people on this tour.
