Heath gave a great tour! Very informative and friendly.
It started at City Hall, which was very nice, and showed some very nice architecture.

This tour explores some of the best hidden details, secret buildings and spaces, and untold stories that add wonderful bits of color and texture to the overall narrative of Chicago. On this tour, we will explore the famous and mysterious Chicago Pedway, a system of underground tunnels connecting 40 blocks downtown, popping in and out of buildings to see beautiful and fascinating interior spaces. You'll learn to use this system that most locals don't even fully know or use, and you'll be encouraged to continue exploring Chicago on your own after the tour!
Departure Point
- We will meet in front of 120 N. LaSalle Street. There is a massive mosaic over the entrance -- you can't miss it!
- This tour will end just north of Millennium Park.

Adam led the most incredible tour either of us had ever been on. The architecture and history were amazing, but it was the way he kept everyone engaged and excited that really made it amazing. it felt like 30 minutes rather than 2 hours. Prepare to both laugh and learn. 10/10

Adam led a fantastic tour. Kept a large 20 person group together well! Good information shared with humor. Would recommend Adam and this tour to anyone wanting to learn more about the city!

I was really looking forward to this tour, but our guide did a very poor job of providing any context to the sites we visited. Those of us on the tour kept giving each other confused looks and it seemed like our guide was under the influence of something. It was really disappointing given the reviews online.

Very interesting! We didn't know all those walkways even existed. Now we know what signs to look and how to get around if the weather is bad.
