| This walking tour was very interesting and dynamic. Our guide (Jennifer) was such a good communicator.
It is a non-touristic way to discover neighborhoods.
I recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys food, walking and meet new people. |

| Our tour guide Jennifer dazzeled us with her food/city knowledge. The tour included perfect boutique like shops that only an insider would know of. And between each food tasting we saw neighborhoods in Chacago that we would have never ventured into. Overall experience, a must-do for foodies, and anybody interested in seeing the hippie-chic neighborhoods of Chicago! |

| What can i say, what a great tour. We enjoyed walking through different neighbourhoods seeing & doing things we probably in all honesty would not have done had we not done the tour.
Go, enjoy !!!! |

| I'm a foodie, so I was looking forward to this tour from the start of our trip. But it far exceeded my expectations! The tasting stops were all either family-owned gourmet shops, or unique specialty chains. Our tour guide, Jennifer, was friendly, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable -- not only of the tasting stops, but of the history of Chicago and neighborhoods we visited. There wasn't a minute of boredom. After three hours of walking, we felt like we walked off all of the decadent tastes -- although some "tastes" could count as small meals! I'd recommend this tour to locals or tourists -- foodies, or not. Just be prepared to walk and eat! |

| I was in town for a conference and thought the food tour would be a way to see some of Chicago. It was fabulous! The old town and gold coast neighborhoods were great! The food selections were good and enough for lunch! Great tour guide. This is a must for anyone on a short stay in Chicago. |

| We had been to Chicago before and was not impressed. Was not looking forward to our return business trip. My husband and I went with some friends and the girls and I signed up to do this walking tour. It was absolutely incredible. We thought the agenda sounded a little silly, tea shop, spice shop, etc. We had the most fun at those places We loved it all and saw a part of chicago that was breath taking where as before saw nothing but slums. Our guide was fabulous, very out going and just made the tour even more exciting. We all grabbed our husbands the next day and revisted every shop from the day before and bought so much stuff we had to ship it all back. We also tried a few restuarants that our guide suggested. They were again outstanding. I can not say enough about how wonderful this tour was. We can't wait to get back to Chicago. The city should be very thankful for your services
as well as the great shops we attended. Thanks for such a wonderful time. |

| This was a blast. The guide was fun and friendly. She took us on a 3 1/2 hr tour through three neighborhoods in downtown that we'd never have found as out-of-town tourists. We got info on architecture and history of these areas as we walked between our eight food destinations. My favorite stops were: the balsamic vinegar and olive oil shop, the loose tea shop, the pizza place, and the fudge shop. All stops were informative and yummy. I would recommend this tour for tourists and natives. They have another food tour in a different area too. |

| The tour far exceeded my expectations. I was worried my husband wouldn't enjoy it, too girly, but he loved it. We took great pictures, had great food, learned much about the city, and even got a great book recommendation. The places we visited on the tour were so good, we returned to 4 of them on our next day and used the coupons. It was fun, informative, and we loved the walking tour. Our guide was tremendous, I cannot remember her name, sorry! |

| I greatly enjoyed the afternoon I spent walking and eating myself through the North Chicago neigborhoods. It was a nice oppurtunity to get to see where many of the locals eat and shop. Our tour guide was phenomonal as well.
Thanks, Jason |
