Authentic tour guide with a real authentic handle on the history of the neighborhood. - Excellent tour from a guide who is authentic and passionate about explaining the history of the neighborhood and the people who were connected to the mafia. Dennis was raised in the neighborhood and shared many stories about the businesses, people and places that were part of the history. Dennis not only has the experience on both sides but tells these stories with sincere interest to help you understand the people behind the news. Definitely a different type of tour and would highly recommend is this subject is of interest.
