An enjoyable and enlightening overview of Chicago lies "Underground" - Adam was a fantastic tour guide -- very knowledgeable, entertaining and professional. I started using the pedway back in the 1970s when I worked downtown and used the underground network for appointments and commuting. Back then, the pedway was more extensive with more access points to the subway system and office buildings. I rediscovered the pedway seven years ago when I was on jury duty and realized a lot had changed over the years. So, I signed up two of my sisters to go with me on this tour. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend this tour and tour guide for everyone from newbies to Chicago to long-time residents! Please note: the walking is on different kinds of surfaces, there are stairs (up and down), and some low light situations.

A historical, upbeat tour of a little known Chicago underground - Heath guided us through the Pedway with expertise, charm, and wit. I highly recommend him for any of the tours he guides. And, he took us off the "beaten path" for a wonderful surprise.
