Chicago Architecture Tour: Underground Pedway and the Loop
Beskrivning
Denna turné utforskar några av de bästa dolda detaljerna, hemliga byggnader och utrymmen och otaliga berättelser som lägger till underbara bitar av färg och textur till den övergripande berättelsen om Chicago. På denna turné kommer vi att utforska den berömda och mystiska Chicago Pedway, ett system av underjordiska tunnlar som förbinder 40 kvarter i centrum, dyker in och ut ur byggnader för att se vackra och fascinerande inre utrymmen. Du kommer att lära dig att använda det här systemet som de flesta lokalbefolkningen inte ens känner till eller använder, och du kommer att uppmuntras att fortsätta utforska Chicago på egen hand efter turnén!

Resplan
Vi kommer att följa tunnlar och trappor som tar oss under många kvarter i centrum av Chicago, med åtkomst till byggnader som rådhuset med alla dess intressanta inredningsdetaljer.
Vi får en närbild av detta berömda offentliga konstverk som ges av Picasso till Chicago som gåva innan vi dyker ner i Pedway igen.
Vi kommer att gå genom en av våra favoritdelar av Pedway under gamla Marshall Field's (nu Macy's). På HELG kommer vi att se lite interiör också; på VARDAGAR kommer vi att hoppa över den här interiören för en annan.
På WEEKEND turnéerbjudanden kommer vi att se interiören av denna vackra 1800-talsbyggnad nära Millennium Park.
Vi kommer åt detta massiva kommersiella komplex via Pedway och tittar på några favoritplatser.
Vi kommer att hålla resten av turnén hemlig! Följ med oss på ett underjordiskt äventyr!

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
Adam was incredibly knowledgeable. I was born and raised in Chicago and had no idea the pedway existed! Definitely a Must do if you want to see hidden history in plain sight.
Great, informative and entertaining tour of the pedway! We learned history and really useful informatin to help us navigate the city. Adam was an amazing guide. I highly recommend this tour!
My husband and I took the tour of Chicago's Pedway as a Father's Day gift. While we were already pretty familiar with the parts our group covered, our guide did a great job with information about the history and additional details about the construction of the Pedway and the buildings we visited so we wound up learning a lot. Something to keep in mind: on weekends, parts of the Pedway are closed. If possible, schedule your tour on a week day to explore as much as possible.
