Highly recommended. A chance to see some neighborhoods and taste some food that we never would have had as tourists in Chicago. Very friendly and fun tour guides-- our guide was being observed by another guide and it was clear that they had a good system of "quality control" to ensure that the guides were all professional and well-informed. I'd bet that many Chicago natives would also enjoy the tour! |

We planned this at the beginning of our trip to Chicago and learned a lot about where to go and what to do in the city. We enjoyed sampling the local fare as well as hearing about the architecture and other interesting tidbits of information. The pizza at the end was a highlight, but all was wonderful. Walking was a great way to not feel guilty about the chocolate and other great goodies consumed! |

My 17 year old picked this tour and I went along. I had fun the whole tour. The guide gave us architectural facts along the tour that were as much fun as the shops we stopped in. Chicago history facts were also great. The surprise stop in front of the old Playboy Mansion was a highlight. The shops were selected with care to be unique. I won't tell you them so they can be a surprise. The ONLY thing wrong was the directions using the Elevated to get back to were we started the tour. It said Clark & Fullerton instead of Clark & Diversey. OOP's.
I would recommend this tour and the fun people who run it to anyone that can walk a couple miles. |

nice tour, but hard core foodies will want more |

A perfectly pleasant tour, with some neat stops along the way. It was neat getting short talks from some of the purveyors and more in-depth glimpse into some of the stores that we wouldn't have been able to get just shopping. However, for serious cooks and foodies, it was a bit light. The tour is better suited for a family activity; something to do when friends are in town. It was a nice introduction to some of the different neighborhoods in the city, and we learned a few tidbits along the way too. |

Add this to the beginning of your visit to Chicago |

This tour even in a rain storm was fun, full of information, tasty and a good walking workout. We found little jems of stores and retaurants that we would have never found as tourists to Chicago. Unfortunately we added this tour on the end of our trip and could only run back to a few of the shops before they closed on Sunday evening. We do plan a trip back to Chicago and will be taking this tour with more of our friends at the beginning of our trip. It would have been nice to have had time to buy in these stores but we do have the internet and have already put in our orders.
Our tour guide was fun and knowledgable. The homes and shops in Old Town and in Lincoln Park are beautiful and it is good to see that a city core can be revitalized even after the urban sprawl of the 70's, the city planners did a wonderful thing to reinvest in the city centre to bring it back to life.
Thanks again for our wonderful tour, we will be returning and can't recommend this tour enough. Thanks again, Maureen and Linda |
