| i almost felt bad that i was making my nieces (16 & 18) do this with me. it did not take long to see that they were really interested and enjoying our tour guide, nikki. i loved the shops we went to. each one was unique and interesting.
most of all, the knowledge that nikki shared, the history of chicago that she shared with us was so invaluable. there is so much we learned from her. my nieces raved about the tour! i only wish we had had the opportunity to do it right when we arrived in chicago -- so we could have gone back to the stores to do some major shopping!!!

| My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Our guide was entertaining as well as informative.I would have enjoyed a few more bites of deli food and/or of goodies from the catering shop. |

| The food on the tour was good with some nice presentations at the restaurants. The tour guide was very well-informed and friendly. My favorite part of the tour was being able to go all over different neighborhoods of the downtown areas. We are new to Chicago andd wanted something different that the regular tourist spots. Because of this tour I'm sure we'll spend more time downtown! |

Good tour; great food samples.

| The tour was interesting and the food was excellent. My group was small so we got a lot of personal treatment. I enjoyed learning about the history of the neighborhoods. There was a lot of walking (I definitely got my exercise) but we got a chance to rest while we sampled the food at the various eateries. I would definitely take another tour like this. It was my first visit to Chicago and this was a great introduction to the area. |

| Our guide Shawn was funny and enertaining. The food is good and there is a nice variety of food. You also meet people from other parts of the country while you walk and eat. There is alot of walking but you stop frequently. The walking was not a problem for anyone in our group but this tour is not for people in bad shape or that can't walk very far. Highly recommended if you like sampling foods. |

| This activity combined food, architecture, history and walking and added up to a great experience. I highly recommend this to someone who wants to learn more about Chicago neighborhoods and what makes them unique. The food shops are all interesting and the proprietors were very welcoming. I do want to note that this is a walking tour and there are some long stretches of walking between shops and neighborhoods. |

| Tad, our guide, met us promptly at 11:45. He was a very personable young man and I knew right from the start that he was knowledgeable about the city. The tour began at 11:00am and lasted until approximately 2:30pm. All of the food stops and historical/architecture lessons were great....although our entire group was from the Chicago Suburbs, we all learned and saw so much about the city of Chicago that we never knew! It is a lot of walking so you need to wear comfortable shoes and dress appropriately for the weather.

| our tour guide was awesome and very patient, we were the group from Los Angeles, and since we were a bunch of paparazzi she was so cool with letting us take pictures at every stop. this tour was different, entertaining, and informative. it was a good way to get exercise, try new foods, and get a tour of chicago while being fed @ the same time. since i have never been to chicago, this tour helped us to see parts of the city that we would otherwise have not seen. i would recommend this tour to anyone, in our group, there were even a couple of locals who went on this tour! yummy & fun! |
