“Heath was a fantastic guide with a passion and knowledgeable insight of the buildings we visited.”
Heath is an energetic, engaging guide whose insatiable curiosity about the world around him inspires his tour guests to ask questions and to get excited about what they see. Quick-witted with an irreverent humor, he confidently asks tour guests, “WHO CARES?” when discussing anything — architecture, art, history — because the “why” of what he’s teaching about is just as important to him as the “what.” With a background in economics and finance, but a thirst to get people excited about art and architecture, Heath infuses his tour guiding style with a real-world “real talk” that customers find fun, refreshing, and relatable. Heath is a tour guide on our “The World Within (I): Dazzling Interiors™ of the Loop” tour and our “Open Your Eyes: Chicago’s Underground Pedway and Other Secrets of the Loop” tour.
When not guiding tours for Inside Chicago Walking Tours, you can find Heath leading Art Institute tours, where he brings his experience as an art auctioneer to the table, and giving boat tours to audiences of 150+.
He’ll also likely beat you at darts, if you’re up for a challenge, and is the proud father of a calico girl cat.
