| You definitely have a good thing going with the food tour, and it seems all agree. Jessie turned the afternoon into a small adventure for our min-group of 4 with her charming personality. This tour doesn't feel like it lasted 3 hours at all as we remained curious throughout and really enjoyed learning so much about Chicago/Old Town and its unique variety of food stores and historic significance. |

| We found the tour and guide (Kate) to be wonderful and a great use of our time. We enjoyed the different tastes (something for everybody), learning about the building blocks to tasty cooking (oils, vinigers and spices) and learning about the different dwelling architecture that graces the city. I'd recommend taking the tour early in your visit so you know where to go and what to eat for the rest of the visit. It was quite informative and a way to see/experience insider information regarding the places to dine on fantastic ethnic food. It's enough to inspire one to cook more often. Bring good walking shoes because there's a lot. Though a bit pricy, I'd highly recommend the Northern tour to everyone. Other cities should consider adding a similar tour. Beware of parking...it's steep! |

| Our Guide, Kate was amazing. She is knowledgable, entertaining and professional. She kept us right on track and spent time with everyone in the group for any questions. Well worth the tour. |

| The tour leader was very knowledgeable about the entire tour and was able to answer all questions. The food samples, while small in proportion, were enough to fill me up for lunch. Great tour of the city. |

| My wife and I had a great time on the food tour, Carolyn was a great tour guide. We enjoyed all the places we visited and went back to purchase items from four of the places on the tour.
We can not wait to tell our friends about the tour. |

| We have been to Chicago on several occasions in the past as we live about 1 3/4 hrs away. This tour gave us the opportunity to explore areas of the city we were not familiar with. The guide(Jesse) was great! The shops were enjoyable as was the walk through the different neighborhoods. This tour gave us the courage to expand our horizons when we visit Chicago. After the tour we retraced our steps and visited the shops on the tour and were met graciously by the clerks. We learned alot of new and interesting things and look forward to coming back and doing the Wicker Park tour! Thanks again for a cool experience! |

| We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. More than just a food tour, we really enjoyed the historical, cultural and archaeological aspects of the tour. Jennifer was enthusiastic, knowledgable, and a lot of fun. We will definitely sign up for the second tour next time we visit Chicago. |

| The walk was wonderful, filled with interesting sights and information but not much food. Our guide was great with a warm personality giving each of us attention and answered our questions even when they were silly. Food however, was sparse getting only one small bit as a sample of the whole establishment except for the pizza. |
