| Tad, our guide did a great job in keeping our interest with the sights along our trip from one location to another. The food tastings were a little sparse, but generally sufficient. The tour could have lasted another hour to give us opportunity to make purchases at the shops we stopped at. I would reccomend the tour to my friends and family. |

Unique way to see Chicago!

All of the positive reviews that I read on site before I booked the tour are so true. It was a unique and interesting way to see parts of Chicago that are off Michigan Ave. We booked our tour on a Thursday. We ended up being the only two on the tour and it was so great to have the guide to ourselves! Our guide, Nikki, was so nice to spend three hours with. She really gave us a great tour. Every shop that we stopped in offered not only a delicious tasting but interesting information as well. We liked it so much and hope Chicago Foods will add more tours of other parts of the city. We loved the tour ! |

| Shane was such a great guide. He had a great sense of humor. His presentation was informative. He was proud of where he lived, and it showed. |

| Our tour was more than three hours of great entertainment. Knowledge of all the neighborhoods was supplied in detail by the guide. History of the area and af the various food establishmants was excellent. Lots of trivia was also part of the tour. It was well paced-our group are seniors but had no problems.I will certainly recommend this to anyone going to Chicago. |

| Our guide was absolutely wonderful. He obviously enjoyed what he was doing and that added to the adventure. It was a delightful look into areas and neighborhoods that I would otherwise never venture to when I am in town.
When I visit Chicago later is year I will be sure to visit many of the locations we passed on the tour. |

| Excellent tour! My friend and I were skeptical before we arrived but once the tour started, Tad made it great! He was very informative and the tour isn't just about food, it's also about some of the history behind the neighbourhoods that we walked through! We were also introduced to a lot of neat shops and restaurants! All-in-all a great experience! Highly highly recommended! In fact, we already started recommending it to friends and family the second the tour ended!! |

| We scheduled this tour as the first thing we did upon arriving for a week in Chicago. Great choice since we were fed and entertained for over three hours without any one of us having to look at a map nor find a restaurant. During the tour we got aquainted with the area and had our list of restaurants to try. Happy start to any visit.
Enjoy!! |

| We all really enjoyed this tour as it provided details of food AND the local landmarks. The guide, Shane was enthusiastic and fun.
We did have an issue with a downpour, but everyone, including the tour guide made a wet and cold situation fun.
Thanks for a great time. |

| My husband and I had never gone on a tour such as this before, and we really did have a good time. There is a lot of walking, so wear a comfortable pair of shoes. Be prepared for any type of weather. We had our umbrella handy which was a good thing since it did start to rain part way through the tour.
Our tour guide Sean, was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was a very good tour guide to have. He was well spoken and tried very hard to keep us on schedule.
I wish we could have spent just a bit more time at each stop, but then the tour would have gone on forever.
My husband and I wanted to purchase a few items at every stop but we never had the time. Unfortunately, we were on a bus tour that left the next day, so we were unable to get back to the various locations to purchase anything.
All in all we had a very good time! We would highly recommend this tour to anyone. We had about 12 people in our group, all different ages, from different States and a few of us from Canada.
Go for it! You'll learn something and have fun doing it! And ask for Sean!
