| It was a very enjoyable walk through the Near North neighborhoods of Chicago. We observed beautiful and eclectic architecture with tidbits of interesting info on some of them. Stopping on occasion to taste the delights of unique purveyors of foods and spice. Our guide (Nicki) was fantastic. I'd love to get some friends to come along and do it all over again! |

| Jennifer was great. Very nice and friendly person. I would add a few more places to visit with something very special (like oil and vinegar store).
Thank you, very much |

| I thought the tour was nice and enjoyed learning more about Chicago. To advertise it as a food tour is sort of misleading given that we only got a slice of pizza, potato cake and candy. I believe the one in bucktown has more restaurants but that should be outlined and explained. |

| We enjoyed the walk through a part of Chicago on a day with beautiful weather. We had samples at each place and were fed just the right amount. The variety made it interesting as well as the information about the places we saw. |

| This was a Mother Daughter weekend for us and we both throughly enjoyed the walk through the side streets and popping into the gems of the city that the locals frequent. Only wish we had taken this tour the 1st day so we could return to some of the places we walked past or that the guide talked about. Our guide was a local with good knowledge of the architecture, history, and little known facts. Food tasting were good and varried. If you don't mind walking quite a bit you'll love this tour. |

| The best aspect of our tour was our guide and her knowledge of eclectic Chicago food and beverage locations. She was absolutely a charm. |

| Our tour guide was EXCELLENT. She was very personable and shared so much information with our group. It was an enjoyable tour and great exercise, and we got to see parts of Chicago that we never have been to. The stops at the Spice Shop and Oils were outstanding. And so was the pizza stop. We wish we had more time at each of the stops for our purchases, although the coupons were much appreciated so that we could return at our leisure. We will look forward to our next visit to Chicago to experience another culinary and cultural tour with exercise! |

| What a great tour! It was informative, fun and quite tastey! Our guide, Emily, was articulate, made the walk interesting, and was very organized. When I saw the shops we would visit I was on the fence about a tea shop, oil shop and spice shop and they turned out to be my favorites. At first I was a little unhappy about the announcement that we would not have time to shop but I totally understand why. But if you are quick and dont hold up the group you can manage to get in a few purchases! I have since ordered from the oil shop online which was just as well as we were from out of town and it would have been a hassle to try and get the oil and vinegar home on the plane. I have always been a tea drinker but drank "tea dust"! No more! We returned to the tea shop where I purchased several varieties and will be a repeat customer online. Same for the spices. The Saigon cinnamon is unbelievable and I will be ordering from them as well. I am considering ordering all of my christmas gifts from these vendors. |
