Newport Gangster Tour


























Recently, I took yet another tour offered by the American Legacy tours people.


I took their Gangsters tour and again had a great time! You really get your money's worth on these tours. This one clocked in at over 2 hours! There was about a 30 minute presentation in the piano bar, and then a very nice walk around town.


Unlike some ghost tours I have been on, this tour has a very authentic creepiness to it. Having sites pointed out where hits took place is much more disturbing than seeing a spot where a "psychic" felt something.


Some of the stories involved members of the Rat Pack, Gangsters, and an adult entertainment establishment that employed girls... and some girly men.


The trip included a stop at the Northern Kentucky Gambling Museum too, which was pretty cool.


Our tour guides (dressed in gangster gear and telling gangster related jokes the entire time) did their researched and shot of puns at every opportunity. They knew their facts and mentioned researching financial records, interviewing people who had been at the establishments mentioned, etc.


I know these tours are seasonal, and I think their season is coming to an end, but make sure you take this tour next year.
