| We really enjoyed ourselves on the tasting tour. Our tour guides Shane and Troy were fantastic- very informative and fun. Not being originally from Chicago, this was a great way to see parts of the city we have never really explored. Thanks for a fun day! |

| My husband and I went on the tour on Friday, July 20th. We had Nicki as our guide. She was so pleasant and helpful and well informed. I am 8 months pregnant and she was very aware of me getting tired or needing a rest room or having caffeine, which I really appreciated.
The tour was so much fun and so informative. We learned a lot about the beautiful city of Chicago and all the great small food businesses there. I highly recommend this tour. It was the perfect amount of food, walking and a really great learning experience. I am so glad that I found it and we had such a fun tour guide. Definite thumbs up! Cathy from Philly |

| Enjoyed the tour guide
Guide was considerate and entertaining
Loved the interesting facts on the archtiecture
Was lead to believe it was a two mile walk, according to my pedometor, I think it was closer to six. Those with health issues should know ahead
Thought there would be more food to taste, but enjoyed the walk and the facts along the way
I would highly recommend this tour |

| I VERY MUCH ENJOYED THE FOOD TOUR, IT WAS EVEN BETTER THAN I HAD ANTICIPTED. THE GUIDE WAS SO FRIENDLY AND INTERESTING AND MADE EVERYONE ON THE TOUR FEEL WELCOME. I REALLY ENJOYED ALL THE DIFFERENT PLACES/FOODS WE TRIED. THE WALKS THROUGH THE VARIOUS NEIGHBOURHOODS WAS EXTREMELY INTERESTING TOO-I WOULD NEVER HAVE FOUND ALL THOSE NICE SPOTS BY MYSELF IN THE FEW DAYS I HAD IN CHICAGO. NICKI MADE ALL THE INFORMATION SOUND FRESH AND INTERESTING EVEN THOUGH SHE HAS PROBABLY GIVEN THE TOUR HUNDREDS OF TIMES. THE YOUNG MAN, TROY, WHO WAS IN TRAINING WITH NICKI WAS ALSO VERY PLEASENT AND INFORMATIVE. IT WAS VERY GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY AND I WOULD RECOMMEND THE TOUR TO ANYONE GOING TO CHICAGO. |

| I had been on a Greenwich tour in NYC and decided to take the Chicago one. It was just as wonderful as the NYC tour. Our guide Nicki was great and very informative. When I bring my sisters back for a visit, this will definitely be on the agenda

| My sister and I enjoyed every minute of the tour. We have been to Chicago several times but this is the first for a tour. We were pleasantly surprised at how much fun we had, the knowledge of the guide (Shane) and the amount of food. We were full!!! I never thought we would say we had too much chocolate but we did---our own fault. We would highly recommend this to everyone. Shane was a personable guide and it made for a very pleasant afternoon. |

| Our group was small just me an another gal which made the tour that much more interesting. I prefer a smaller group because it is more personal. Instead of the guide spitting out memorized information he was passionate about what he was teaching us about the city and its history. The places where we had tastings were a good variety and was a good balance for this type of tour.
Althought we walked a great deal it was relaxing and not overwelming. It was a great way to see different parts the city you would otherwise not know about . |

| Traveling as a single woman, I enjoyed this tour very much. It was easy and comfortable to be a single in the group. The meeting location was easy to find and we were given good directions on how to get back after the tour.Our guide, Shane, was enthusiastic, humorous, and very knowledgable. He seemed to really enjoy giving the tour. I prefer walking tours over driving tours and this tour introduced me to neighborhoods I would never have seen on my own. I have a new appreciation for the city of Chicago. The food tastings were as described when I read about the tour online.The tastings were fun, but only part of the tour. I enjoyed and appreciated the comments on history, local life of the neighborhoods and communities, and the recommendations on restaurants.The pace was not rushed, yet it did not go too slow. The tour was advertised at taking 3 hours and ours took 3 1/2 hours. A friend who took the same tour the day before said her tour took closer to 4 hours. Our tour started at 2:00pm on Sunday. I would recommend taking an earlier tour to allow time to go back to the stores for shopping before they close. |

| Shane was a great tour guide. Funny and full of useful information. Really liked the neighborhoods toured. The food stops were really different. maybe just one chocolatier rather than two. I will be recommending this to friends. |

| Take this tour on your first day visiting Chicago. We learned so much from Shane and truly got to feel what "Real Chicago" was like. Lots of information, delicious food, and tired feet...we would do it again in a heartbeat!! |
