Most of our Chicago Tours can be slightly altered to accommodate people who use wheelchairs, scooters, or strollers. The Pedway Tour and the Riverwalk & History Tour have the most alterations, so we ask that if you use a wheelchair or scooter, to send us an email (chicago@freetoursbyfoot.com) and let us know that you will be taking these tours so that we can prepare an alternate route.
