| We can't speak highly enough of this tour. It was extremely well organized, with a good balance of walking and tasting. The variety of food sampled was just right, too -- enough that we certainly didn't walk away hungry but not so much that we could barely move afterwards. Our guide, Shayne (not sure of the spelling), was great fun. Even as locals, we learned something new about the neighborhoods, and he kept everything lively and entertaining. Raves all around. |

| I don't prefer chain restaurants and this is not about promoting national chains. It's about what is unique in the Chicago Food scene. Great recommendations for restaurants that weren't even part of the tasting. Good Exercise and informative. I got a great feel for the city. Although most people would probably think 2 chocolate places is a great idea I would have preferred that there not be 2 chocolate places, but rather a different type of cuisine...even a chocolate place and a dessert place. In spite of this, I would highly recommend, as the restaurants were tasty and great to visit again after the food tour was over. Oh yeah, you will leave full -even someone with a very hearty appetite...there is a lot of food to taste!

| Nicki was our tour guide and she was wonderful! Knowledgable and fun!! It was a great tour to get outside of Mag Mile and see the REAL Chicago!! I would definitely recommend it to anyone!! It was the best part of our 5 day trip to Chicago... above and beyond the Zoo and a dinner cruise. Thank you!!!! |

| This tour was very beneficial to those who have seen the city of Chicago because it gave them the chance to view the sights and the stores on the outskirts of the city limits. Three towns were visited, Gold Coast, Old Town, and Lincoln Park. Some of the boutique shops were very interesting to tour but the chocolate shops and the pizza restaurant were my favorite. I felt that the price for the tour was a little bit too much for the amount of food that was tasted. The types of food tasted such as cheese, potato pancake, and spices hardly were enough to fill one's appetite yet the iced tea, pizza, and two chocolate samples were enough to wet an appetite for the main course. Our tour guide, Nikki, was very educated about the tour and also very entertaining. An overall rating for the trip would be an 8 out of 10. |

| I enjoyed the walking tour and learning about the suburbs of Chicago. It was as interesting as the food we tasted. The bulk of the food came toward the end the the tour so be sure and eat lunch if you have the 2PM tour. It was not enough food for my husband but enough for me! A great girlfriend/ girl's day out thing to do!! |

| Lots of walking, but totally worth it. Overview of the area's history, architecture, and food. Guide was informative and enthusiastic, and clearly wanted to make sure each participant had a good time. |

| The tour provided excellent information on the history and culture of Chicago. The food stops provided a variety of tasty samples and accomodated various dietary restrictions. The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable and made everyone feel welcome in Chicago. |
