| I highly recommend this tour. My wife and I enjoyed the tour very much. The guide, Niki, was up beat, energetic and very knowledgeable about all the neighborhoods. She did an excellent job of interacting with everyone and keeping the tour interesting. I am looking forward to going back to some of the places we visited. |

| Our guide Tad was lots of fun and very accommodating to our rather unusual group. I was accompanied by my 30 year old niece from Washington D.C. and my 85 year old father from the Chicago area. My niece had never spent time in Chicago and thoroughly enjoyed herself. My father enjoyed the walk down memory lane (as he worked in the city most of his working life and has been retired almost 30 years) but certainly would have appreciated a shorter lane. He came hungry as suggested but found the first food tasting a tad too long into the tour. I enjoyed the tour but would have liked to see more variety in the food tasted. If you enjoy walking and want to see a lot of the city, I highly recommend this tour. Be warned, the tour end is over 2 miles from where the tour started! |

| I visit Chicago every year and each time I try to find something different to do. This was a very enjoyable afternoon. The guide was informative and fun! I would highly recommend this tour not only to visitors but to locals looking for something unusual! |

| We live in the suburbs of Chicago. We thought we knew everything. Well, we didn't.
Who knew there was a Jewish deli on Rush Street? Our guide was great. He kept everything moving along. I don't want to say much more about where we stopped because that is the fun of it. Wear your walking shoes and enjoy yourself. |

| We had a good time and Nikki our guide was energetic and knowledgeable. I would recommend to anyone that I knew was traveling to Chicago. I have a suggestion that would make the tour even better. We stopped at a Tea store but actually made a purchase at another location (closer to the end of the tour). It would be great if either the tour guide or the Tea store let the other store know the teas that were sampled so we could purchase the same flavors. |

| I took my girlfriends on this tour last weekend and we all agreed that it was a fantastic experience. Our tour guide, Nicki, was very knowledgeable and had contagious enthusiasm! I am a Chicago local and have been on the tour before, but it never gets better and better each time. This is a can't miss event! |

| We had a great time on our walking tour!! Great things to nibble on and drinks too!!
We even got a bathroom break half way through. Be sure to read the information they give you and travel as light as possible. Good walking shoes are a must!!!
We saw things we never would have any other way, and learned about Chicago history as we had a great time!!! Highly recommended!! |

| My uncle was visiting me for a few days and I stumbled across this tour online. We booked it and had a wonderful time. Nikki was our tour guide and she was awesome. Definitely make sure you wear comfortable walking shoes.
I have already told other locals about the tour and I am hoping the company will add a couple other different food tours in the near future! |

| After visiting my son in Chicago periodically over the past 7 years, I decided it was time to play tourist. I love food and wanted to see some of the neighborhoods that I normally drive by, so this tour sounded perfect. Nicki, our guide was great - very friendly and lots of fun. We actually walked from the Water Tower to Lincoln Park, so I would say the you need to be able to do a fair amount of walking without tiring to enjoy this tour. The food stops were interesting and tasty! I plan to go back to some of the stores on my next trip up there. I do wish that the website would have stated specifically where the tour ended or that they would have emailed that information to the participants before the day of the tour. I could have walked to where I was staying after the tour was over, but I had to go back downtown on the train to pick up my car to drive back to Lincoln Park. I would have taken the bus into town had I known. and left my car where I was staying.
I am looking forward to the company expanding and offering tours though some other great Chicago neighborhoods with amazing history and food! Yum! |

| I enjoyed both the walk through some of Chicago's most interesting neighborhoods and the "tastings" at the seven restaurants. The guide was informative and interesting. It was a good way to get acquainted with Chicago. |
