The guide is great, we really enjoyed his company. Seeing the pub and the firehouse was amazing! The firemen were lovely and we saw where they eat etc….. I would definitely recommend it. My son got to sit in a truck, try on the uniform, “go down” the pole etc…. Such fun!!

I am so happy I booked the Chicago Fire tour on my vacation to Chicago. The whole experience and seeing Chicago was amazing. Our tour guide Deen was fantastic and took us all over. The price is great as we saw not only Chicago Fire places but historic things in the city of Chicago. 2 hours was perfect. When we come back I am definitely booking one of the other tours. Thank you Deen for an awesome well worth it tour!
Our tour was fantastic! It started out slow. We went to see the sights of Chicago (the city itself) and the tour guide was very familiar with the area as well as eloquent in how he presented the experience. We were picked up right from our hotel which was nice and we were the only people on the tour allowing for an intimate, personalized encounter. Seeing the police station and getting a drink at Lottie's/Molly's was fun. My partner is a firefighter so it was important for me that we were able to see the firehouse so we decided to make that the final stop on the tour. Unfortunately, when we got there, the truck must have been on a call because the station was dark and inaccessible. We were sad and suddenly the whole tour seemed to be for nothing. BUT - our guide offered to drive us all the way back to our hotel, take his next tour around, and come back for us afterward and return to the fire station for another chance to see them. I couldn't believe he would go out of his way like that. We agreed figuring that was the end of our trip. Wouldn't you know - he came back a couple hours later and drove us all the way back so we could see the firemen, the truck, buy shirts, take our time. He went above and beyond. We were so grateful. What a beautiful grand finale to that tour. And what a fantastic tour guide! When we return to Chicago, we will look him up again and specifically request Deen!
Deen was a fabulous tour guide and went above and beyond to help this Chicago series super fan have a great visit!
Wowww what an amazing tour we had! We were picked up from our hotel and our tour guide Deen took us on an awesome close to 3 hour tour of Chicago Fire station, PD and Molly’s bar as well as some sights around Chicago. The firefighter at the station was so nice and explained how the cast work around this true working Fire station! Deen was so awesome taking our picture at every stop! If you are a fan of the show, this tour will not disappoint! We enjoyed every minute of it!
Deen was so informative & just a fabulous tour guide We toured our favourite show locations & saw the amazing Chicago skyline too
He was an excellent tour guide and went the extra mile to make our experience great.
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.
Trip was more value than offered. Deen showed us around Chicago and gave some great tips. Highly recommended tour. Great value for money
Excellent tour with Dean , we saw everything we wanted to and lots more ! Very knowledgeable and keen to pass this information on to his guests. Very comfortable ride . I highly recommend this tour , get booking now 😍
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.
Tour differently explained than what actually happened small car.not worth $315 I spent for 1:45mins
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!
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,
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.
Great experience, lots to see and Deen helped us with photos of us all. Customised our tour to our needs and was helpful throughout. Would recommend to any fan of the show.
Deen was a fantastic tour guide! He spent time and showed us around to specific areas we might not of known about, to visit, but we will now see in the future! The Fire house tour and PD tour was a great time! We would definitely go again with this tour!
Fern does a FABULOUS job showing you around to see key locations. He showed us all the key spots for filming of Chicago Fire and Chicago PD. We had a blast and I’m going back in two months with my Bestie to do it again. You Rock Deen!!!
Deen was fantastic! I would recommend this to anyone that is a Chicago Fire/PD fan and as a bonus you get to explore some additional icons of Chicago. Deen did a great job navigating through the city showing us all sorts of Chicago icons and added a little history lesson as well.
Deen was an amazing tour guide he was patient and gracious and was very informative and took us to many places and was very kind and we would highly recommend this tour and also we got to see alot about Chicago fire
The visit was great, just as we hoped it would be. Also our guide Deen did a great job, he knows what’s it all about. Highly recommended!
The Chicago Fire/Chicago PD tour was out of this world! My husband and I are avid watchers of the Chicago shows, so when we found this on “Things to Do in Chicago,” we knew we had to try it. At first, I was a little hesitant about the cost, but let me say — this tour is worth. Every. Penny! Deen picked us up right in front of our hotel and drove us all over the city. We got to see not only filming locations from the shows but also a variety of neighborhoods and hidden gems throughout Chicago. Deen made sure we had the best photo opportunities and set us up with views that were absolutely breathtaking. One of the most exciting moments was getting to step inside the actual firehouse that inspired the set — and it was working and in use! It truly felt like stepping into the show. This was hands-down the highlight of our trip. We’ve already told friends and family that they must do this tour when visiting Chicago. It was the best experience we’ve had and by far the best guide we’ve ever had.
Fantastic tour with Deen. Not only did he show us some of the sites around Chicago that we had not seen before, but also visited Firehouse 51 (and had a tour from a wonderful fire fighter) as well as the Fire Academy and Mollies. Deen spent a lot of time with us and did an amazing job.
Deen did a great job not only showing us the sites of Chicago but also Firehouse 51 (and we got a tour inside), the Fire Academy & Mollies, as well as many other sites used to file Chicago Fire. A great way to spend the morning - thanks Deen.
Deen was an awesome tour guide!! He knew the best photo spots and all these little tidbits about Chicago and Chicago Fire. He even personalized our tour by showing us spots we hadn’t visited yet. We (my mom and I) definitely couldn’t have found all of the major filming locations on our own. Highly recommend!!!!
This is an amazing tour-a must for Chicago Fire fans! Dean is a great tour guide. He showed us several spots where they film the show including Molly's and was able to get us into the firehouse. He also drove us to highlight spots of Chicago for great photos. The tour exceeded our expectations and would highly recommend!
Deen picked us up at our hotel. When we came down, he was cleaning the already very clean van. I enjoyed just sitting back and taking in the scenery while being chauffered to our first stop. Although he had a designed tour, he asked what we have seen already and would alter his plan so we wouldn't have to visit places again. The highlight for me was how the firefighter at Station 51 was excited and willing to show us around. And the view of Willis Tower from the station. If you are a fan of the Chicago shows. This is a must. Thanks, Deen!
Deen was very knowledgeable and engaging. He went out of his way to make the experience memorable for us! Service was top notch!
Deen went above and beyond on this tour! He was very cordial, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to deal with. We can’t say enough good about him and the tour! Everyone we dealt with setting this up was great. If you are considering this tour please don’t hesitate it was so worth it. Thank you again Deen it was a pleasure. Christina and Pam
As a fan of both Chicago PD and Fire, this was a great trip. In a couple of hours, you also get to see a lot of Chicago. Great tour guide!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 – An Incredible Experience with Dean! The Chicago Fire Tour with Dean was absolutely fantastic! Dean is an outstanding guide — knowledgeable, engaging, and incredibly flexible. What really set this tour apart was Dean’s ability to adapt to the group’s interests and questions. He made the experience feel personal and tailored, all while keeping us on track and entertained the entire time. You can tell he’s passionate about Chicago’s history and truly loves what he does. Whether you're a local or visiting for the first time, this tour is a must — and Dean is the guide you want. Highly recommended
We had such a great time with the tour guide Deen. First we went to visit Molly’s and had an amazing drink. Picked up some tshirts/caps. Then to firehouse 51 where we took a tour and some photos ,more merch. Then to see the outside of district 21. I highly recommend this tour if you are a true fan of the Chicago Fire/Pd franchise.
So nice, I went with my parents that do not speak English, and Deen was always patient for me to translate, he took to us to every place and explained them in full detail regarding history and nowadays importance of different places and institutions so 10/10
Amazing tour, Deen’s the best ! We had so much fun on this tour. Deen showed us a lot more than just firehouse 51. We poured a beer behind the bar at Molly‘s and took pictures with the fire truck. Excellent tour guide very informed. He made the day EZ.

Absolutely recommend Deen for Chicago fire and PD fans! He went above and beyond his services. Took us to pick up Chicago's famous popcorn and hot dogs!
Chicago downtown experience with Deen! Absolutely fantastic tour guide. He even took us to get Chicago popcorn and Chicago's amazing hot dogs! He went way above and beyond. Totally recommend this tour.
My wife and I had a great time on this tour with Deen. He is very professional and a true gentlemen. Deen made sure he met all our needs on this tour. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Chicago.
Deen is an amazing tour guide and he has so much education and was so knowledgeable with all places that he shared with us on the tour! This tour went beyond our expectations and I would highly recommend it!
, Deen Our guide was fantastic and we thought the tour exceeded all of our expectations. I got to see the major sites where the TV show is filmed including Chicago PD police station. We saw Molly‘s bar and it was a wonderful experience as well. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and made the whole tour Extremely worthwhile!!! We would highly recommend this tour to anyone.!
Deen was great showed us all the things about Chicago fire. Traffic wasn't the best but we had a great time and tour guide. Thanks for the hospitality.
Deen was an excellent your guide! He helped us cross off everything on our must see list along with things we weren’t aware of! Highly HIGHLY Recommend
Deen was great. He came with lots of knowledge, but it came at a very steep price! Molly's, Chicago PD, and Fire House 51 are all public places and are free to go to. He stayed in the car making him just a cab driver, a VERY expensive driver! Great guy, but save your money and take yourself!
Deen is gregarious and caring. He does not rush you and is generous with his time. He customizes the timeline according to your interests and makes sure it is a truly memorable experience. The firehouse folks will give you a tour if they are not in a state of urgency. You also see a lot of other sites along the way.
The Chicago Fire tour was absolutely awesome. Deen was super enthusiastic, knew everything about the show and city, and made the whole experience really fun. goed out of his way to make it a real 5 star experience . Highly recommended for any fan!
Dean is awesome!!! He provides a great service that is definitely one not to miss if you visit Chicago. I had never been to Chicago before and he was extremely knowledgeable and friendly! We did what I think is called the Chicago Fire TV show tour and even though parts of it had to be deleted for reasons outside his control it was still very much worth it. If your interested in the tour I mentioned above just reach out to him and see what options he can provide. We were still able to accomplish everything we were interested in seeing. If I ever visit the city again I won't hesitate to take one of his tours.
My daughter is a huge fan of the show and it's been her dream to see the firehouse they film. Our 1st stop they were out on a call but Deen made sure he got us back there. He was very friendly and knowledgeable as well as accommodating. Highly recommend touring with Deen.
Deen was a great tour guide! Loved seeing the fire house and other Chicago stops. He was very knowledgeable and kind! It was a great experience!
This is an absolute must for anyone who love the show Chicago Fire! We had the best time and enjoyed a personal tour of Mollies, as well as Fire House 51. This tour included so much more than just Chicago Fire but also many other Chicago sites. Highly recommend!!!! Deen was great!
This was an excellent trip with Deen! Very knowledgeable and super nice. Highly recommend any of his tours if you’re in the city
