| We thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Our guide was great - very friendly and upbeat. It was a great way to see the city in a non-touristy kind of way. We love to learn about history of cities and did learn a few new things on this tour. The food tasting was fantastic - from the Pastrami sandwich to the oils and balsamic vinegar to the delicious chocolate treat. Definitely a great way to bring exposure to the gems you may never have found out about on your own. I highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed. Great date idea for couples! |

| Lots of good food. We went to places we wouldn't have ventured without someone in the "know". What a great way to experience Chicago. |

| I work in a culinary school and loved every minute of this tour - especially the Spice shop. I would recommend this tour to for new foodies to experts. |

| I highly reccommend this tour for anyone interested in Chi town neighborhoods!
I booked this tour for my friend's bhirthday. We have been to Chi town numerously and always wanted to wander and browse other neighborhoods but never knew where to begin. This tour was a great tutorial.
Our guide, Jennifer was terrific! Knowledgeable, courteous, engaging, and informative.
We can hardly wait until next spring so that we can book the Bucktown and Wicker park tour.
Everyone always thinks Chicago is just State street and Michigan Avenue. There is so much more to this diverse city.
Thanks again and see you in this spring!

| The Near North tour was fun, informational, and quite tasty. We enjoyed our tour guide and the pick of locations was a good mix. Many of us re-traced our steps to go back and buy the products that we sampled. |

| GREAT TIME! Exceeded my expectations. Didn't know how tea and spices could be so interesting, but they were! Special kudos to the tour guide, who provided a great deal of the information, even in the restaurants and shops! The only problem, a little more walking than suggested by the on-line information. My sister had a hard time keeping up, but she wasn't in perfect health. Other than that, a WONDERFUL way to see some of the neighborhoods of Chicago, whether for the first or the hundreth time! |

| We are a group of four women who have met in Chicago the past two years to shop, relax and eat. We were referred to this tour and decided to include it in our plans for Sunday before we flew home. It was very enjoyable. Our guide, Ariana, was charming and had so much information. We all thoroughly enjoyed the choices of places to stop and sample. It was suprising how much we learned! In fact, for our trip next year we plan to come back to the shops we visited so we can spend more time. Thanks! |

| This tour was awesome! We loved the fact that we were outside walking, eating & learning about some culture of Chicago at the same time. Our guide, Shane, was terrific. We did the Old Town/Lincoln Park tour and it really was fun. I highly recommend this for a different type of Chicago siteseeing. |

| The Near North Food Tour was great. Admittedly at first I didn't have high hopes for some of the destinations, but it turned out I enjoyed everywhere we went. There are also architectural and historical information the tour guide would give us that made the walking to each place fun. I think it's well worth the money. |

| This tour provided an excellent mix of interactive tastings, foot bound movement through local neighborhoods, relevant and interesting information, and notable information about the city's history. There is a good variety of types of food related venues and they make them all at least somewhat interesting. The food itself is pretty dang good and you get special discounts and coupons. |
