| Our guide had such enthusiasm that it spread throughout our group. I had a wonderful time learning about the history of the places we visited, as well as the history and architecture of other buildings we passed along the way. The food was great and the tour offered me the opportunity to try things outside of my norm (The Spice Shop and the Olive Oil/Vinegar place). Had a fantastic time and will try this type of tour in every city I visit! |

| Not only are you taken to wonderful food related establishments where you learn about their history as well as details behind what they offer but you also get to walk through a couple of great Chicago neighborhoods where they stop to explain the history behind them. This tour was top-notch all the way through! Our tour guide was exceptional. |

| I and a friend really enjoyed the Gold Coast walking tour. It was a nice mix for the tastebuds (Jewish deli, tea, spices, olive oil, chocolate, appetizers and pizza).
I felt we received plenty to eat plus I liked the architectural trivia along the way.
Will definitely be ordering from some of the places since we did not have time to buy during the tour which was understandable. . |

| We called the number on the electronic boarding passes that spoke of the tour after we were already in Chicago. We decided to try it since we had done most of the tourist stuff listed in books. What a great time we had and to think when we left for Chicago this wasn't even on the list of things to do. It ended up being the highlight of the trip. |

| We truly enjoyed this experience! Our tour guide was bubbly and vivacious and truly knowledgeable about the tastings, the area, architecture and culture. We loved each and every stop on the tour because, for us, most of it was completely different than anything we had ever experienced. The teashop? - Wow!! The oil and spice shops? - double wow!! The time just flew and it was over too quick - but then you get to go back and shop - even better wow! We will definitely be signing up for another tour the next time we are in town. Thanks so much! |

| It was awesome to see Chicago (something other than the Mag Mile)!! Something totally different and provided culture. Not tacky in any way and very interesting and worth the money. Our guide Jessie was very well spoken and had lots of info for us as well as great recommendations. |

| Jennifer who did our tour was so engaging, enthusiastic, and totally committed to the group to have a great experience. The stops were great and I learned so much, but the best part for me was really seeing and learning about the neighborhoods. It helped that we had terrific weather! But the background, knowledge, and experience she had really helped her presentation of all information. Thank goodness the shop owners encourage this type of thing, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone either local to Chicago or from another area.
My son would now like to move to Chicago since he experienced these nice neighborhoods outside of downtown!
