| Our tour guide Jennifer was fabulous. She was upbeat, friendly and enthusiastic. Jennifer was knowledgeable about the tour sites and the neighborhoods we visited. The food samples were delicious. It felt like a local friend was showing us around the town for a few hours. The tour stops were varied, but all wonderful in their own way. I felt like I saw a bit of Chicago I would not have seen otherwise.
This tour was so much fun. I would love if they offered another food tour emphasizing other Chicago neighborhoods.
All in all, a very fun afternoon. I would highly recommend for tourists and locals alike. |

| The pace was leisurely, which was nice. Despite the heat and humidity (and a brief downpour), our tour guidess (kind of like a godess, only in the guide world) remained cheerful, conscientious of our needs, and really tried to make a connection with each person on the tour. It was fun. It was factual. I learned a lot! |

| This was a highlight of our group's bus trip to Chicago. Our guide Emily was perfect. We had a wonderful time walking, talking, laughing, tasteing, and learning about the north neighborhoods of Chicago. After the tour we back tracked our route so we could make purchases at the different stops. All the shops were very friendly and helpful. We have already recommened this tour to other friends going to Chicago this summer. The pizza was too good to discribe! |

| I took your tour on Wednesday and I haven't been able to stop thinking about how amazing it would work in San Francisco, my hometown. If you ever consider expanding into San Francisco and need insider's information of the area, please do not hesitate to contact me. With all the different cultural neighborhoods and the history in San Francisco, a walking food tour would be highly sucessful. In time - I could even picture several tours highlighting the different areas: Chinatown, North Beach, the Embarcadero, the Mission. The possibilities in San Francisco are endless!!
Just some food for thought (no pun intended!)
Thanks again for a wonderful experience! |

| I fly to Chicago regularly (every 3-6 months) and have done all the museums over and over. So this last trip I came across this tour on-line and wound up having a great time!! I was lucky to be in a small tour group and found the intimacy a great advantage. I would highly recommend this to do with friends looking to try something cool and trendy!! |

| We went on the tour based solely on the reviews. And what a great decision we made! The places we stopped at were incredibly diverse and noteworthy. And our tour guide, Nikki, was just great. She talked about many of the places that we passed and had a wonderful knowledge of the history and detail of each place. The handout was received very informative with many recommendations of places that were near our route. We even returned to several of the stops on the tour and purchased several of their products. We hope that new tours of other parts of Chicago eventually come together. We will definitely be one of the first. I would very highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for something to do in Chicago. It is a first rate experience. |

| This was a great tour for me and well worth the cost. I am a food lover and knew I would have time to spare while my husband was at a conference. Directions to and from the tour were perfect. I didn't have any unanswered questions prior to or after the tour. I was glad I wore good walking shoes as directed! Our tour guide was very friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I learned many interesting things about the various Chicago neighborhoods and greatly enjoyed the tastings. It wasn't too much or too little. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to go off the beaten path and experience a taste of life in Chicage. |

| I enjoyed hearing the history of the different neighborhoods that we passed through and seeing the different types of architecture.
I was definitely full after completing the tour. There was plenty to eat and seconds and even thirds were encouraged.
I liked the variety of the places we visited. I found the oil & vinegar stop the most interesting as I had never seen so many different kinds of oils and flavored vinegars. I made sure to stop back there after the tour to make a purchase. I also really enjoyed the PB&J chocolates at the last stop. I picked up some of those to take home as well.
Our guide was very friendly and seemed especially knowledgable. I was surprised to discover that she had only been doing the tour for about a month.
I would highly recommend this tour to family or friends when visiting Chicago and I will search out similiar tours when visiting other destinations in the future. |
