While this tour option might sound disgusting, it could, in fact, be very interesting. This tour gives people the opportunity to see the hidden streets, train stations, and tunnels that lie beneath the city, and you'll hear a lot of cool stories while you walk through them all.

While you may see many signs that rats thrive in this underground part of Chicago along the tour and earn some little-known facts about rats the website says;

Although many rats call Chicago’s underside home and we will see signs of them, it is unlikely we will spot many scurrying about on the tour.

Feel better now about the seeing rats situation? Wait, there's more. The website also offers this important warning;

some of the areas we will be strolling through are gross (you won’t need to touch anything), so if you are squeamish from filthy sights and smells, this probably is not a good tour for you.
