Fun, informational, and truly Unique - I absolutely loved this tour of Chicago’s Pedway! It was such a unique way to explore the city, weaving through hidden tunnels, colorful stained glass, and unexpected details I never would have noticed on my own. Colleen was a fantastic guide — knowledgeable, engaging, and full of stories that brought the underground passages and city landmarks to life. I especially appreciated the mix of hidden underground gems and fascinating above-ground “secrets.” By the end, I truly felt I’d discovered a hidden side of Chicago.

Pedway architecture walking tour. - What an awesome Chicago architecture walking tour. I’ve visited the city many times but I was never aware of the Pedway underground walkway. Our guide (Hillary) was so knowledgeable about the hidden gems and history of the buildings. There are so many river architecture tours available but this one was different and I would recommend it.

Pedway architecture tour - Jessica went beyond a basic tour. She was extremely knowledgeable about not only the tour but Chicago history. We learned so much from her. I would highly recommend not only the tour but also Jessica as a guide

Hidden gems - My husband and I toured with Ryan. He is a walking encyclopedia of fun facts and history of Chicago. We saw beautiful architecture in buildings we would not think to walk in, explored the pedway, and all the other surprises you need to see and hear for yourself!
