| We were very happy that we had taken the tour on the first day of our 5 day visit to Chicago. It was a nice way to visit neighborhoods that we would probably not have walked through had it not been for the tour. We did revisit a few of the shops during our stay. The food samplings were great and our guide Jessie very informative. My only suggestion is to NOT eat breakfast if you are taking a morning tour...go hungry and really enjoy the food. |

| It was so much fun to walk through the Chicago neighborhoods and find these interesting places to eat. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and able to fill us in on all kinds of fun facts. The samplings were wonderful, and the portions were huge. Don't eat a big breakfast before you go on one of these tours. We would do this one again anytime. |

| Nine women took the tour. We are native Chicagoans and learned a lot of new things about our City. Our guide was very interesting and friendly. We toured seven very different shops throughout three or four different neighborhoods. We all enjoyed the tour so much that we told the doorman at our hotel to recommend it to tourists. Because we are from Chicago we are planning to revisit several shops. We would give the tour six stars if we could! Definitely recommend it for tourists and native Chicagoans alike. |

| This tour was so informative, interesting & fun. Not only did we get to taste
different foods, spices, oils & vinegars, but we learned about some of the neighborhoods. Our tour guide, Nicki, was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable about the areas and made the whole experience a fantastic time. Thank you Nicki. |

| There were 7 of us and 6 of us enjoyed it and 1 of us was not pleased with anything that we did. The stores and lectures were interesting and we really enjoyed the varity of the types of stores we visited. We thought we should have been offered bread at the oil shop so we could really get a taste of the oil and that we could have done some shopping at the stores we visited. I am sure the walking was a lot longer than the literature stated, we thought that the Lincoln Park part of the tour should be a tour by itself ,because it was so interesting but we had to hurry through it. I am not sure the tourist understood that they were in 3 different neighborhoods. Our guide Jennifer was great and really knew a lot about each neighborhood and could answer question that were asked. We also thought you could fine a nice pizza place in the Old Town area and make the tour for the Gold Coast and Old Town by itself. Most of us loved the tour and have given the info to many people, thanks for the informative and treats of the Windy City and State Street that great street tour. |

| Based on the reaction of our group of 6 (4 from Chicago and 2 from California) everyone was very positive about the experience. Not only did the guide, Arianna, know her stuff, but she was personable, interesting and thoughtful throughout. Seeing the Near North and hearing about the architecture added to the wonderful experience of stopping in the various specialty shops and hearing firsthand what the shopkeepers had to share about their products. We would ALL highly recommend this tour. Arianna has the 11:30 time on Saturday. |

| From our greeting at Aschenaz Deli and the delicious Rueben sandwich the sights, sounds, tastes and smells were wonderful. At each stop we learned about the products sold there and were able to sample. Along the way bits of Chicago's history and architecture were discussed. Our guide was knowledgable and enthusiastic. I have already recommended this trip to several people and will remember fondly our gastronomical adventure in Chicago. |
