| This tour was entertaining for about an hour. This is not a food tour of Chicago. This is a tour in which they show you a bit of Chicago. Every once in a while they stop at random places where there is very minor amounts of food. Very little of the food is actually from Chicago. It seemed as if the places selected were chosen because they allowed the tour to stop there, not because of any particular significance. Also, It ran 4 hours (an hour longer than expected). |

| My wife and I have been to Chicago many times, but had never taken a guided tour of the city. The description of the tour sounded great (we are both foodies), so we enthusiastically signed up. The tour itself was better than either of us had imagined. Our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, both about the places we specifically visited and about Chicago in general. The tastings were also amazing--the types of food were very diverse (from spices and oils to pizza and chocolate) and overall very filling (no dinner afterwards!). However, even if you are not really into the specific food tastings during the tour, this tour provides a great overview of where to find some of the city's best restaurants that are often overlooked by tourists as well as gives a better intro to the history of some of Chicago's neighborhoods then you will get on some other neighborhood walking tours. I would extremely, greatly, highly recommend this tour to anyone!! The only warning I have is that after taking this tour, all other Chicago historical walking tours will seem boring and bland! |

| We had a great guide on a beautiful fall day with family from out of town! We taste tested interesting and yummy items including tea, spices, cheeses, vinegars & oils, pizza, potato pancakes, butter toffee, etc. We received a lot of very interesting information about the places we visited and the products they carried, as well as the history of the area we walked through. Niki, our guide, was engaging, entertaining, and full of information. |

| The tour was even more interesting than we anticipated. The tour guide was informative and entertaining. We especially enjoyed the Oil & Vinegar shop. It was a place that we may not have sought out on our own. We also enjoyed the time spent at the Spice shop. It was a very good mix of food and history. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting the Chicago area. |

| I would highly recommend this tour. Not only do you visit many foody places, but you tour several different neighborhoods. The food is plentiful and places are all different. Our tour took 3 1/2 hours so be prepared for walking and listening to the history of Chicago and food. |

| Nicole was our guide and we learned so much more about CHicago even though 4 out of our 5 were native CHicagoans. Highly recommend! I would not do Sunday next time because the places were closed ater our tour so we could not go back to buy items. |
