Tom was amazing! He was very personable, knowledgeable and wanted to be sure that we experienced the city to the fullest and our questions were answered. He knows the ins and outs of the city. When in Chicago, we highly recommend L Stop Tours!

I was not sure what to expect with this tour! Tom was a wealth of knowledge about the city and its history! I never knew so much could be happening below a city street! My friend and I were on a time schedule to meet the Metra back to Libertyville, so he modified our tour and walked us almost back to Union Station. Some day I want to be a Tom, the tour guide!

Tom was the best guide to have showing his love and knowledge of Chicago. Not only will you learn about the pedway, you will also have an experience riding the L, walking up to the street to learn about the history of Chicago, the buidings and great [laces to eat!. Tom goes at the pace of the people involved and was really a joy to be around. We will definitely go back and do whatever tours he offers. Thanks again, Tom!
