| My husband, our 16 year old daughter and I were visiting from Atlanta. We were at a lacrosse tournament in Naperville for the weekend where our daughter sprained her ankle playing in a game on Sunday. We took your tour on Monday morning and it was so interesting and enjoyable she didn't complain about her ankle hurting, even with all the walking we did.
We loved the tour, our guide, Emily, was delightful and we would highly recommend it to all visitors to Chicago. We ate in one of the recommended restaurants Monday evening and it was fabulous. |

| Wonderful tour. I really enjoyed it, but the tour is very fast walking. Really to fast to enjoy the tour as much as I would have liked. Your walking so fast that you have to pay attention to the ground as not to trip and fall. I would enjoy a tour that was not as long and would allow you to shop as you go along. This tour IS NOT for all fitness levels!!!!!! as the advertisment states. You better be in top shape and have a High fitness level. We had one person drop out of the tour because they could not keep up. The shops we visited were wonderful and our tour guide was great! Would I take another tour? Only if they had a slower more relaxed tour. The long distance was not the problem, it was the extreme fast walking. |

| My girlfriends and I didn't know what to expect from the food tour, but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Our tour guide Jennifer was great and very informative. She stopped to show us architecture, some famous buildings, and gave our group quite a bit of history of the city. There was quite a bit of walking involved, but we also stopped to rest. All of the stops in the tour were quite different. Although two of the stops were just "tastes," (the vinegar and oil shop and spices store), they were very interesting and places we would not have stopped otherwise. We also stopped in a tea shop and had big glasses of iced tea, candy shops which gave out great chocolate, and an authentic Jewish deli. My favorite stop was the authentic stuffed Chicago pizza near the end of the tour. The pizza was great! I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the City of Chicago. |

Girls' Weekend Away

| Every year my five daughters and I do a "girls weekend away." We did one in Chicago last year and took in a lot of fun places and restaurants. This was a weekend away for me with just my youngest daughter (30 yrs. old) and I. We wanted to do something fun other than the usual shopping and things we had done before. I found out about this activity by searching online for "things to do in Chicago." We love trying new things and love to eat at unusual places. One of my grandsons is an architect in New York and we loved seeing homes and other buildings designed by one of his favorite architects - Frank Lloyd Wright., along with all the other interesting homes and buildings. This was everything we had hoped for and we can't wait to go back to spend time in Old Town again.
The young woman who led the tour was very knowledgable and fun. We enjoyed her very much! |

| We all enjoyed this walking tour so much. It was a great walk with interesting stops along the way. We enjoyed Old Town Oil so much -it was a surprise to all of us. Also The Spice House. We would have never stopped at either of these places on our own but they were Oh so interesting. Of course all the Chocolate was ummmm. We would highly recommend this tour. Our guide was great-very knowledgeable about all areas we walked through... A good time was had by all. |

| I went with my mom and my sister and it was so much fun. Unfortunately it rained a bit on that day but our guide made it bearable. The Fudge Pot was the best stop! |

| Memorial Weekend 2006 - Good tour...be sure to wear excellent walking shoes, as I wore flip flops and my feet were a little sore at the end. Though the food was good and the guide (Shane) very knowledgable, it was more of a walking tour than food tasting. I would give it an excellent rating if they add one more establishment to the food tasting portion (and not tea, sweets or breads). We tasted a Jewish fried potato cake, ice tea, chocolate, bread, thin crust veggie pizza and more chocolate. Though because of the walking (a little over 3 miles in 90 heat for 3 hours), I was pretty much too tired to think about food. |

| Fun! You WILL need your best walking shoes. Tourist? Do this at the beginning of your visit to Chicago and you will have a much better idea of what you will want to eat/do while there. I should have taken small umbrella or rain jacket. Zerve was the easy way to get tickets. Thank you! |
