Off the Beaten Path! - Loved this 2 hour walking tour. Got to see a part of Chicago that many don’t know about while learning the history. Our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate! Great energy. Casual, small group which made it easy to follow and ask questions.

Pedway tour in Chicago - Interesting tour showing things that are hidden in plain sight and you wouldn’t see if you weren’t shown and stories behind the facades of the buildings.

Never knew about the Pedway - Being from Chicago I never knew about the Pedway . Heath gave a great description of why the pathway was put in in the history behind it I found it interesting that there was nobody in there when we were walking. Loved hearing the history and being able to see how you can get around Chicago underground.

Learning the Secrets of the Loop - The tour was amazing! Our tour guide Colleen was extremely informative and there were a lot of places we haven’t seen before, though we’ve visited Chicago many times. I especially enjoyed the tour of the cultural center and learning more about the secrets built into Chicago’s architecture. We learned how to traverse the city without going through the cold, and found some special gems along the way! Strongly recommend for a unique and immersive experience!
