Repeating the Food Tour and Still Lovin' It

| I am a transplant from Balto, MD. Every time I have company from my hometown, I bring them on this tour. One of my guests had taken the food tour last year on his yearly visit to Chicago, but wanted to take it again with another friend of ours who was also visiting. I pointed out that the food tour company had another tour we could try (Bucktown/Wicker Park), but he said that he wanted to repeat this one. He loved Old Town Oil and the Spice Shop and wanted to stock up again on oils, vinegars, and spices on the tour!
So, that, of course, means that I have been on this exact same tour several times including the previous month in September when I had a visitor from Baltimore. I LOVE this tour. Jenn was my guide both times and she was excellent - so much energy, passion, and knowledge about the city and the food.
The merchants that we visit are welcoming and have outstanding, quality products.
I am looking forward to taking the Bucktown/Wicker Park tour in November. I have no doubt that it will be awesome. |

| Even though my husband and I live in the Gold Coast area, we loved the tour and learned a lot about the food/deli speciality shops...especially in the Old Town area. Our grown children were with us. This tour is for adults or teens. We are looking forward to doing other food/cultural tours in both Chicago and other cities. |

| I learned a lot not only about local restaurant and food stores but also
about my neighborhood and architecture.
We were lucky we had a gorgeous day and a great guide. |

| I believe our tour leader was Nicki, she was awesome! Friendly, informative and very relaxing to be with. We learned a lot about the area, tasted some amazing food and yet felt not-rushed and very "vacationly". No pressure, just a very relaxing few hours.
I would recommend this to everyone and can't wait to visit Chicago again and take another tour.
Thanks. |

| My husband and I enjoyed the North Side tour. We have been living in Chicago for 11 years, but still learned a few new things about the neighborhood. We enjoyed the food establishments we stopped at and found some new places that we will likely visit again. |

| Our guide, Nikki was awesome. She had so much enthusiasm and positive attitude that it was hard not to feel enthused. The places we visited were definitely places we will visit again and again. She showed us a different side of Chicago that I didn't know anything about. Great experience!! |

| My husband and I went with another couple who were in town visiting. We didn't know what to expect but were very pleasantly surprised. The added tidbits of history and architecture added into the walking portion made it a very enjoyable tour. Especially living in the Chicago area, we learned about places we would never have known about otherwise! I definitly recommend for both locals and visitors! |
