| The food information was very interesting and the tastings were fun. But the small group tour of the city was the best. It was a nice way to get away from the typical tourist spots and see the neighborhoods of Chicago. Our guide Emily was fun, and very informative. Her enthusiasm was contagious. She really loves Chicago and it shows. We toured with our teenager, he loved the chocolate and the pizza. This is a great experience for teens and adults. I think it would be very difficult to tour with small children. This is a "must see" for your next trip to Chicago |

| My daughter & I went on this tour last weekend and it was the highlight of my visit to the City! We ate so much that we didn't need lunch OR dinner - and loved some of the shops so much that we went back that evening to purchase items to take home. The tour guide was wonderful - informative, fun, and personable. I would go on this tour again but am hoping that ther will be new tours developed for my next Chicago visit. Don't change a thing - this is the perfect way to spend a few hours getting to know the real Chicago. |

| This tour taught us a surprising amount about the neighborhoods of Chicago and the delicious foods we sampled. Our tour guide was a delight and the food was a genuine treat. It was an excellent introduction to Chicago. We recommend it to both visitors and locals. |

| I was traveling to Chicago on business and spent a few days downtown doing what any tourist visiting Chicago for the first time would do; Millennium Park, John Hancock Observatory, Museums, etc. There were a few tours (i.e. the Architectural Boat Tour) I would have liked to have taken but my time ran out. I did however book Chicago Food Planet's food tour. It was AMAZING! The places we stopped were interesting, neighborhoods we walked through were great and it more than tickled my taste buds! Upon returning to my office in Atlanta, I recommended it as a "Must See" for anyone going up. Another interesting note, 75% of the attendees were Chicago natives. They seemed to be enjoying themselves as well!
For anyone who loves to cook or just want's to see a local's perspective of Chicago, this food tour hits the mark! |

| Excellent walking tour,with nice neighborhood info from our guide, Nikki. She was very personable, fun, energetic, you could tell she enjoys her job. The places we went were interesting and eclectic. My husband and I visit Chicago all the time but did not know of these places and it was nice to have our eyes opened to new parts of the city and the stores and restaraunts. Highly recommend and would do it again. |

| Kate was so knowledgeable, not only about the food, but about the stores' and the area's history. She kept us moving, but we never felt rushed. Eat before you go, because the only real "food" is the pizza at the end. But, it is a huge and delicious piece! |

| I thought the duration was a bit short compared to the 90 minute advertised trips by CAF (even then, the tour started at 11:05 and ended at 11:55... lost 10 minutes!), but it was an okay amount of time for my wife who wasn't an architecture buff. For a 60 minute tour, the detail was appropriate and entertaining. Would have preferred that it was more interactive and less scripted though. A couple of times I felt like the tour guide could have gone into a little more detail about the back-story for some of the sites. Otherwise, a very good and entertaining tour. |
