| We truly enjoyed this experience! Our tour guide was bubbly and vivacious and truly knowledgeable about the tastings, the area, architecture and culture. We loved each and every stop on the tour because, for us, most of it was completely different than anything we had ever experienced. The teashop? - Wow!! The oil and spice shops? - double wow!! The time just flew and it was over too quick - but then you get to go back and shop - even better wow! We will definitely be signing up for another tour the next time we are in town. Thanks so much! |

| We could not have been more pleased with this event. Jessie was the perfect guide - her knowledge and genuine love for the city was enlightening and enjoyable. The food was awesome, and the shopping after the tour was a blast! |

| It was awesome to see Chicago (something other than the Mag Mile)!! Something totally different and provided culture. Not tacky in any way and very interesting and worth the money. Our guide Jessie was very well spoken and had lots of info for us as well as great recommendations. |

| Jennifer who did our tour was so engaging, enthusiastic, and totally committed to the group to have a great experience. The stops were great and I learned so much, but the best part for me was really seeing and learning about the neighborhoods. It helped that we had terrific weather! But the background, knowledge, and experience she had really helped her presentation of all information. Thank goodness the shop owners encourage this type of thing, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone either local to Chicago or from another area.
My son would now like to move to Chicago since he experienced these nice neighborhoods outside of downtown!

| You will need comfortable shoes and be able to walk about 3 miles (1.5 on the tour and 1.5 back to buy all the great eats! Our guide was interesting and we learned about buildings, people, and some history. The variety of places were great - candy, spices, oils, pizza, deli! |

| My wife and I enjoyed this tour immensely. Nicki was a great guide, very informative and personal. The places we went to were diverse and fun. And of course all the tastings were great! It was a good walk and we both liked seeing parts of Chicago we had never seen before. Sadly, we didn't have enough time to go back to some of the shops and make purchases but next time we visit Chicago we will go straight to them. This tour is such a fun thing to do that really shows what Chicago is all about. |

| Our guide, Niki, was wonderful! This is the best way to get inside the neighborhoods and learn about the history and architecture while tasting local foods. We highly recommend this tour! |

| We had a great time and discovered some places that we never would have discovered on our own. In spite of some misty rain, the tour was excellent.
The amount of walking was totally do-able, though a shuttle to the starting point (backtracking the way we came, in case people wanted to get off to do some shopping) sure seems like a good idea! |
