Tour dell'architettura di Chicago: Pedway sotterraneo e il Loop
Descrizione
Questo tour esplora alcuni dei migliori dettagli nascosti, edifici e spazi segreti e storie non raccontate che aggiungono meravigliosi pezzi di colore e consistenza alla narrativa complessiva di Chicago. In questo tour esploreremo la famosa e misteriosa Chicago Pedway, un sistema di tunnel sotterranei che collega 40 isolati in centro, entrando e uscendo dagli edifici per vedere spazi interni meravigliosi e affascinanti. Imparerai a utilizzare questo sistema che la maggior parte dei locali non conosce o non utilizza nemmeno completamente e sarai incoraggiato a continuare a esplorare Chicago per conto tuo dopo il tour!
Opzioni del tour
Itinerario
Seguiremo i tunnel e le scale che ci portano sotto molti blocchi nel centro di Chicago, accedendo a edifici come il Municipio, con tutti i suoi interessanti dettagli interni.
Vedremo da vicino questa famosa opera d'arte pubblica, donata da Picasso alla città di Chicago in regalo, prima di immergersi nuovamente nel Pedway.
Cammineremo attraverso una delle nostre parti preferite del Pedway sotto il vecchio Marshall Field's (ora Macy's). Nei WEEKENDS vedremo anche degli interni; nei GIORNI DELLA SETTIMANA, salteremo questo interno per uno diverso.
Nelle offerte di tour WEEKEND, vedremo l'interno di questo bellissimo edificio del 19° secolo vicino a Millennium Park.
Accederemo a questo enorme complesso commerciale tramite il Pedway, controllando alcuni dei luoghi preferiti.
Manterremo segreto il resto del tour! Unisciti a noi in un'avventura sotterranea!

Spencer was an amazing guide! He was very knowledgeable and knew so much about Chicago.
Spencer was nothing short of spectacular! He was fun and entertaining and really made us feel welcomed and safe in Chicago . Would definitely do again!
This tour included walking through old run down hallways and the tour guide telling us everything he didn’t like about the Pedway. It was nice to be in a cool space on a hot day but overall, it was boring and very long. I learned a few little things but not worth the time or money spent.
I'm sorry that our Pedway tour wasn't your cup of tea, Jenne -- and I know that having a small child with you on a 2-hour walking tour can make it feel much longer. For future guests, please read more reviews of this experience and note that even if it's not one person's particular jam, it's overall a very popular and fun tour for most guests. Please read our tour descriptions and if you have any questions, let us know before booking, and we can help direct you to activities more suited to your interests and tastes.
Adam shared a lot of great energy and interesting information on an otherwise cloudy day. He was very interested in answering questions (and even repeating things we forgot...), and navigated some unexpected "blips" along our path (not his fault) in a way that felt like we actually saw an even better version of the normal tour. He paced the walking well for our group, too. There are several times you go down/up 1 or 2 flights of stairs at a time spread out throughout the tour, so mobility in general is required. I believe that most of the stairs do not have elevator access, unfortunately. But that is because we learned that each section of the pedway is managed by the building it is located under (not the city), so there are inconsistencies (which is what makes it very interesting). I was the only non-local on the tour - I definitely feel I know more now than some native Chicagoans. Thanks, Adam!
Adam, our tour guide, was incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and patient with all our questions. We thoroughly enjoyed learning about hidden treasures, and the library and glass domes were breathtaking. We’ll definitely book other tours through this group during our stay! Thanks again!
Spencer was SUPERB - one of the best tours I’ve ever taken. He was incredibly knowledgeable, and he clearly loves Chicago. He was very open to questions and taking more time when we were interested in a specific detail. His knowledge was deep and he made his talking evocative of the history. My highest recommendation!
Some interesting facts and unique places, but lots of standing over a two hour period. Recommend the boat tour instead.
Thanks for your feedback. Please be aware that a walking tour is just that -- walking -- and that if you aren't comfortable being on your feet for 2 hours, then a boat tour or bus tour is better for you. I always recommend to guests to do both a walking tour with us to get an insider's perspective, and a boat tour to get the relaxing overview without exercise -- rather than an either/or type thing. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour itself, though!
Henry was a wealth of factual information. I’m a Chicagoan pretty well versed with the city and it’s history, but had my fiancée from Massachusetts with me. I had very limited knowledge of the Chicago pedway, and was very eager to learn how to navigate through it. We learned a lot!! Even learned how to navigate to the Chicago Cultural Center to which I had never gone before. It was an eye opening experience for both me and my fiancée. The weather was rainy and we needed the exercise, and since most of the tour was underground it fulfilled multi purposes (over 8,000 steps to and from). Great exercise! Great experience! And factual information!!! 👏🏾👏🏾
Awesome experience! We thought Heath did an amazing job!! He was knowledgeable and enthusiastic the entire tour. This is a must do while in Chicago and you learn so much in just a couple of hours!!!
Heath was entertaining and full of educational facts. Never knew the pedway existed. A great way to experience Chicago
