Kansas City was a favorite spot of the “old timers.” The Gangster Tour puts you hot on the trail of this city’s most notorious Goodfellas.

Don’t make us twist your arm. Sign up for our December 4th trip and then hop on the bus and you’ll be immersed in a melodramatic look at mob homes and hangouts, turf wars and infamous crimes like the Union Station massacre.

In the 1920s and 30s Kansas City had it all and we tell you the full story on The Kansas City Gangster Tour! Johnny Holiday and his friends will guide you on an inter-active bus tour of Kansas City showing you sites of speakeasies, brothels, murders, and more! Kansas City was known as a wide-open town and we have all the dirty details. The Kansas City Gangster Tour is celebrating 20 years as Kansas City’s longest running historical tour.

Call 785-242-1939 and sign up for $80, we will also be visiting the Berlin Wall Exhibit at Union Station that day!
