There is no guide on this one. Chicago Haunted Ghost Tour GPS Self-Guided Walking Tour is a GPS audio route played through the WalknTours app and booked as a private party, with no scheduled departure and nobody to meet; the words walking tour in the name do not mean a guided one. It booked from $9.75 per person at our August 3, 2026 check, the same rate as at our July 30, 2026 Chicago sweep, and the listing gives the length as 1 hour 15 minutes. It carried five Viator reviews at the August check, too small a sample to publish as a rating, so we print no score for it and leave it out of every comparison on this site.
Two older labels are still attached to this product. The address of this page and the affiliate link both keep an earlier Chicago's Dark Side wording, and the booking card below carries it too. The name above is what the listing itself read on August 3, 2026, and the product code is what we match on.
| Detail | What the listing shows |
|---|---|
| From price | $9.75 per person (checked August 3, 2026, unchanged from our July 30, 2026 sweep). Second-lowest of the seventeen priced Chicago listings we tracked at that sweep, behind one self-guided game. |
| Duration | 1 hour 15 minutes (checked July 30, 2026), the second-shortest of the listings we tracked at that sweep |
| Format | A self-guided GPS audio route in the WalknTours app, booked as a private party. No live guide and no scheduled departure. |
| Stops named | Seven: the S.S. Eastland Disaster Memorial, the Chicago Riverwalk, City Hall as a pass-by, West Couch Place, the Marshall Field's Wholesale Store, the Palmer House Hilton historic lobby and the Fine Arts Building as a pass-by (checked July 30, 2026). The listing names them and nothing more, and the first is not a meeting point. |
| Route overlap | Among the Chicago listings whose stop lists we recorded on July 30, 2026, no other one names the Eastland memorial, West Couch Place, the Marshall Field's Wholesale Store, City Hall or the Fine Arts Building. It overlaps with the rest of the set only at the Palmer House lobby and the Riverwalk. |
| Two names worth keeping apart | West Couch Place is not the Couch Mausoleum in Lincoln Park, and the Marshall Field's Wholesale Store entry is not the Marshall Field Jr Mansion on Prairie Avenue. The names run close together, the places do not, and we say nothing further about either. |
| Listing description | The operator description reproduced on the card below tells you to open the tour, enter your experience code and press play, then says you are guided turn by turn through Huntsville. That is another city's copy sitting inside a Chicago listing, so confirm the route and coverage on the booking page before you pay. |
| Reviews | Five Viator reviews (checked August 3, 2026). Five is too small a base to publish a score on, so we print none and keep this listing out of every table here. |
| Cancellation | Free cancellation flagged at our August 3, 2026 check. The window was not captured, so we print none. |
| Availability | In stock at our August 3, 2026 check |
| Not captured | Age bands, accessibility, meeting point, end point, group size, weather policy, confirmation timing, inclusions and any clock start time, at our July 30, 2026 sweep |
| Operator | WalknTours. We do not run this tour. |
Who it suits
A budget, self-directed walker with 75 minutes and a charged phone who wants a Loop and riverfront route the guided tours in this city do not walk. Five of its seven entries appeared on no other stop list we recorded at our July 30, 2026 sweep.
- Skip it if you want a live storyteller. There is not one at any point.
- Skip it if you came for the Lincoln Park or Prairie Avenue material. This route stays in the Loop and along the river.
- Skip it if you need an accessibility, age or refund answer. None was captured.
- Skip it if the Huntsville line in the operator's description worries you. Settle the route with the operator first.
