| This was a fun activity for my husband and me and our 20-yr-old son in college in Chicago. We went in October, and the weather was brisk but lovely. I wanted a tour for our college student son that was not too academic (he gets enough lectures!). He really liked this, even more than my husband and I did; he now knows a new part of the city, and can re-visit it with friends. The food shops range from very luxurious to ones that you can use routinely. |

| Seeing the neighborhoods of Chicago (which you might miss on your own) was great! Nice tour if you have never been to Chicago before. Go early in the morning if you can so you can return to the neighborhoods to explore more on your own. Thank you from Art and Karen in Arizona. |

| 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. |

| This was a great tour. This was my first trip to Chicago and I was here for the marathon and this was a great way to be introduced to the city. Not only was the food great, but the insights into Chicago were wonderful too. I can not wait to go back and do the other tour. |

| We recently went on a 3 hour walking food tasting tour around 3 neighborhoods in downtown Chicago and I just have to say that it was the highlight of my short stay. Our tour guide Jessie, was sensational! What a great personality along with wittiness and knowledge of the city! She spoke very clearly and had such charm. I learned so much about Chicago, which I might add, was unexpected seeing that we were on a food tasting tour. The food was fabulous and I tried things I would have never tried. From the reuben's to the chocolate to the famous Chicago pizza, it was simply delicious! |

| This is such a great way to see the city! Much more than just a food tour. Our guide, Jessie, was absolutely wonderful and full of knowledge... great food, history, architecture and gossip. A perfect way to spend the afternoon. |

| Our group consisted of a grandma, an aunt, a mom and a teenager. We all loved the tour and found something interesting and learned a thing or two. We were initially concerned about the 3mile walk, however, no one had any trouble keeping up. We were very impressed by our tour guide, Arianna, whose enthusiam was infectious from the beginning to the end of the tour. This tour was exactly what I wanted. We visit Chicago yearly and were looking for a different way of seeing another side of Chicago. This was a safe way of getting to see more neighborhoods in Chicago. I recommend to continue to add neighborhoods or themes to these walking tours.
Wonderful job....will pass on experience to friends! |
