| My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. We went back to several of the stops the next day. We live in a Minneapolis suburb.
Our guide, Jennifer, was great!! She was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The selected stops were all very interesting, informative and well worth the time.
The tour exceeded our expectations not only because of the quality of the tour stops (we learned a lot), but the historical and architectural hightlights provided (or pointed out) by Jen.
We recommended it to our Chicago cousins and they indicated they will do the tour soon.
We look forward to returning to Chicago next year (fourth year) and doing the Bucktown/Wicker Park tour. |

| I learned a lot about the neighborhoods we toured through, the housing and architecture and the various kinds of food related businesses we visited. That all was quite interesting and enlightening.
Not much food was actually provided at the different stops at businesses so don't count on ending the tour feeling full. |

| The walking tour was a great way to see some of the architecture of Chicago while visiting interesting food shops and walking some streets I had never been on. Our guide, Kate, was well informed on the food products we tasted. She also shared interesting historical facts on the neighborhoods we walked through. We are from out of state so enjoyed learning about new areas to visit and places to shop in Old Town and Lincoln Park. The next day we revisited many of the stores to purchase the teas, oils and chocolates. i would recommend this tour to visitors and locals alike. |

| We started out our tour in a sprinkling of rain which shortly let up and we just kept on trucking through the sidewalks of Chicago. I enjoyed the food part, the cultural part and our tour leaders knowledge. We spread the news of our tour to our bus group and I feel some of them will be there next year when we come to town again. We plan on taking the Bucktown tour then ourselves. |

| Spices, oil, and tea--the highlights of the tour. We could have done without chocolate repetitions (even though we did not have chocolate in each place).
Emily was charming, positive, and socially skilled. She presented interesting tidbits. |

| This was a wonderful experience for my husband and me. We had been to Chicago before to see the usual sights and wanted something personal and different. Our group of 14 was diverse, yet everyone loved the tour. The guide, Jennifer, was knowledgeable, fun and made each individual feel welcome. The tour even ran overtime because of all the interest our group showed in the sights. If you want to see three different neighborhoods, a number of unique shops and restaurants, sample great food, see diverse architecture, learn some interesting history and spend a fun 3 to 4 hours exploring Chicago's north side, do not miss this tour. We can't wait until we can return to take their new tour. |
