Overview
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!

We will follow the tunnels and stairs that take us under many blocks in downtown Chicago, accessing buildings like City Hall, with all of its interesting interior details.
We'll get a close-up view of this famous public art piece, given by Picasso to the city of Chicago as a gift, before diving down into the Pedway again.
We will walk through one of our favorite parts of the Pedway under the old Marshall Field's (now Macy's). On WEEKENDS, we will see some interior as well; on WEEKDAYS, we will skip this interior for a different one.
On WEEKEND tour offerings, we will see the interior of this beautiful 19th century building near Millennium Park.
We will access this massive commercial complex via the Pedway, checking out a few favorite spots.
We'll keep the rest of the tour a secret! Come join us on an underground adventure!
