Not knowing what to expect....I was wowed by this tour. Dan's enthusiasm and sharing his long-time love for the history of Chicago made it so exciting and interesting. His little games of True and False kept everyone on their toes hoping for a wonderful prize! I'm hungry for more information on this wonderful city. We were fed great food at... More

This 2 1/2 hour walking tour along the river of Chicago from Michigan/Wacker and walking west along Wacker Drive was a blast. It was a brief history of Chicago from the Dearborn Massacre to DuSable to 1812 to the Chicago Fire and the influence and importance the Chicago River had on the development of this great city. Rick constantly kept... More

The tour was incredibly informative and engaging. Mr. Richard Zieman, the local playwright who hosted the tour, made the story of Chicago's history a very interesting and fun experience. Highly recommended for history buffs and those just lukewarm about the subject (me!).

Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this tour. Dan was the best tour guide I could have asked for - he was an endless source of great stories making history FUN. I was blown away by how much I learned about Chicago in a few hours! Time flew by! Great gift from my son and his girlfriend!

The Historic Pedway Tour was completing its winter schedule when we joined a group of 20 with our group of 6. Rick was a prolific source of history from the very beginnings of Chicago to the present time. The map of the pedway system was fascinating. You can walk for several blocks both south and east of the river. Stopoffs... More

My husband & I truly enjoyed our 2 1/2 hr. tour, led by the very knowledgable & entertaining,Rick. We were happy to walk along the little-known pedway, on an unseasonable cool & rainy June day. And our leader kept us entertained with stories of Chicago's settlement & development, all the while answering our questions & pointing out details of the... More

Dan was a great tour guide. Very enthusastic and knowledgeable which kept my interest at all times. Would definitely love to go again but out side after June 1 to experience it that way as well. Very entertaining and learned a lot. Wouldn't have minded it being longer than it was. It didn't feel like 2.5 hours at all. Thanks... More

loved every minute of the tour! Our guide, Dan, was funny, informative, and had great tidbits about the pedway and what was above and below it. He showed us the Tiffany dome in the cultural center, which is beautiful. He had trivia contests with the group, gave away gift cards to garret's popcorn, giordano's pizza, and starbucks, to name a... More
