Interesting and non-traditional tour - If you're a fan of mob history and true crime, it's a super interesting tour. Our guide was a little "Stream of consciousness" in how he led the tour - but I found that charming. At times, the stories were somewhat disconnected from the actual locations we visited during the tour. (In other words, we probably could have stayed at the pub and had story time and gotten the same effect.) All that said - I'd still recommend it to folks looking for a different side to the city.
