Exceptional excursion with Deenil! - Excellent excursion with Deenil! Everything was really perfect. Deenil was great: very friendly, pedagogue, and very professional. He explains things very clearly and makes the visit exciting from start to finish. We discovered some really interesting places, sometimes off the beaten track, which makes the experience even more unique. We feel that he has a perfect grasp of the subject and is keen to share it. I highly recommend this private excursion to all those who want a quality and rewarding visit, made by a pro, and in addition in a comfortable vehicle!

Excellent experience especially if you like Chicago Fire TV Show - Deen was awesome, he picked us up at the hotel and provided lots of narration as he expertly wound his way through Chicago. He made lots of stops to get photos. He was our chauffeur, tour guide and photographer. The SUV was spacious and comfortable. Highly recommended.

Great tour - Ask for Dean you won't be disappointed, had a great tour of Chicago Fire and PD. Worth every penny. He was very accommodating picking us up at our hotel and back. Would never have seen what we did on our own. There were also a few other surprise stops. Molly's for a beer!

Amazing tour for any Chicago Fire fan - My wife and I were in Chicago for the marathon and booked the tour for a few days after. Deen kept us well updated both the day before and, on the day, even when delayed in the Chicago traffic but he didn’t cut the tour as a result. He took us to see the Bean and then the Chicago Cultural Centre where filming takes place. (On a side note, my wife and I found out filming was taking place there the next day and visited and got a photo with Pascal) We then toured various other places of Chicago some of which my wife and I had seen on previous tours but still good. We then visited the Fire Academy another filming location and met various firefighters there, before heading on to the local police station where Chicago PD is also filmed and a quick peep inside. We then had what was the icing on the cake and went to the Fire Station (Chicago 51) – Sadly as we entered, all the fire rigs were called out, and we had to leave. I must stress; this was no fault of Deen’s it the nature of the fire service. However, he did say that we would still be welcomed if we went back at any time as the fire house was very friendly. My wife and I did indeed go back later in the day and got some great t-shirts, caps, and photos just as Deen had said. Finally, it was a trip out to Molly’s Bar. Unfortunately, again no fault of Deen, one of the other people in the party had cut time very short to getting a flight so we got some photo’s but skipped having drinks. But make no mistake, had that not been the case we could have sat and had a few drinks there as Deen was not rushing us. Deen was a friendly knowledgeable tour guide and even though it is only my wife who is a fan of Chicago Fire, I still found the tour fun, and she loved it. So, you know what they say, Happy Wife, Happy Life. Thank you Deen,

Great experience- Chicargo Fire Tour - This tour was amazing, our guide was really friendly and kept us updated when delayed due to traffic. The tour its self was great as you see lots of chicargo and bits you may not see if your doing it solo. This includes the training centre and others.

Not worth the money in my opinion. - If you are looking for a simple and convenient experience, this might be a good option. However, it is very expensive for what you get, and the locations can easily be visited on your own with a bit of research and by asking locally. Our guide was friendly at first, but the atmosphere became uncomfortable over time. Overall, it wasn’t worth the money in my opinion, but everyone can decide for themselves.
