| My husband, daughter (26yo) and I were in Chicago for the two of them to attend separate conferences. As the Mom, I wanted to find an activity we could do and enjoy together. I found it in this tour! Both of them told me, after the fact, that they were skeptical about doing the tour, but afterward I got "high fives" and "good choice, Mom" from them.
We visited unique stores and saw neighborhoods of Chicago which we probably never would have visited except for this tour. Our tour guide, Nickie, was enthusiastic and informative. She had interesting facts to share about the shops, houses and neighborhoods we visited.
The tour was well worth the money, the time was surely well spent and the food samples were delicious! |

| It was a great tour with a variety of things to taste, see, try. I will definitely recommend it to friends. I like how architecture was part of the tour as well. |

| This was by far the best guided tour I have been on. We went on a boat tour, bike tour, and this tour, and the food tour was my absolute favorite. It is a fantastic way to see the Chicago neighborhoods, and the company did a excellent job picking the restaurants and specialty shops to stop at along the way. Our tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable and a lot of fun! I would definitely recommend the food tour to my friends and family. |

| all 6 in the group would do this again. most returned to many of the stores to shop. i think it would be a good idea to have a tour for kids. |

| I had pretty high expectation going into the tour and I'm happy to say that the actual tour was much better than my expectation. The tour gives good glimpse into different neighborhoods of Chicago and the foods were excellent. My only regret was not doing the tour at the beginning of my trip to Chicago. I learned about so many places I could have visited during my time there, so I recommend doing the tour early to give yourself enough time to visit these coold places on your own time. |

| The food and beverage tastings were great, but the real value is in the visits to the different neighborhoods. Feel like we got a great feel for Chicago by walking through different areas. Our guide, Nikki, was wonderful. In addition to knowing a lot about the food and beverages we sampled, she knew a lot of the history and architecture of the areas we toured. Lots of walking, but well worth it. We ended up going back to some of the places we visited to shop later in the day. |

| We go to Chicago each year with another couple for the Wright-Walk (Frank Lloyd Wright) weekend. We also like to program enjoyable side trips. When we checked your 3-hour walk around Old Chicago (and its borders), we thought the tasting/cultural tour would be fun.
We LOVED it, in large part because Jennifer, our tour leader was delightful: knowlegeable, full of life and a really pleasant person! Each stop, whether at a Jewish Deli, a chocolate maker---or a balsamic vinegar/olive oil importer's shop was informative and a tasty treat! We will make several purchases from home (NY) on the shops' internet sites.
We enjoyed this tour so much that we are going to check out other offerings, both where we live and other parts of the USA which we visit during the year.
Thanks you people for providing us with such a good time!
Warm regards,
