Heath gives an AMAZING tour! - First of all our docent, Heath was great! We learned so much about Chicago, its history and architecture. I would have never known to go to some places he took us and would have missed some amazing works of art. It was a super cold day so this tour was ideal as most of it is indoors.

Treasures and woes of the Pedway explained. - You get to see parts of Chicago, which you would not know of, some amazing locations. Tour guide Heath was very good with all guests on the tour, which covered a large range of ages. Heath’s knowledge of Chicago and the Pedway is amazing, and he delivered it in a way which was easy to listen to and absorbed.

Great Tour of “Hidden” Chicago - Great tour with Heath! He was very knowledgeable about Chicago and shared funny, relatable stories. The Pedway tour provided a great respite from the cold February weather. We saw beautiful points of the city that we would have never found on our own.

Pedway! - We had an engaging tour led by Kaylie - from history to getting around Chicago underground, we walked away feeling great about our newfound knowledge of Chicago. I loved her parting words about just walking into buildings and exploring.

Heath is the knight in this pedway tale ! - Brilliant tour for cold winter weather. You’ll get enough information about Chicago and the pedway, nothing boring and you’ll definitely have few woow moments (speaking as a European). English is not my first language but I understood everything and well. Heath has a beautiful word pallet and he is very enthusiastic. So go for this tour!
