| Loved the tour!! Shane, our guide, was informative and fun. I loved seeing Old Town and the other out of the way neighborhoods. I also learned so much about spices and teas. My friends and I made a special trip the next day to go back to these businesses to get their stuff. It was really one of the highlights of our trip to Chicago. Speaking of Chicago - what a great city. I plan on coming back and I will definitely take this tour again!! |

| There wasn't a stop on this tour I didn't enjoy. Shane, our tour guide, was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about all of the food we tasted, and I just know I'll revisit every place where we stopped. Even though I'm a Chicagoan, everything I saw and learned gave me a new Chicago experience, and I would recommend this tour to any local who thinks they know everything about what Chicago has to offer. |

| The tour guide was great. He was knowledgable and made the tour alot of fun. There wasn't enough food for a real lunch. There was a lot of sweets and snacks. Although i would highly recomend it, we had a great time. |

| My husband and I took this Chicago Food Tour in September and we had a wonderful time! Our tour guide was entertaining and informative, giving us a great insight on the food we tasted. The food was fantastic and it was a nice variety. No guilt about the food your eating, because you get your exercise walking. We will recommend this tour to our friends and family!

| Many people have written that they'd take this tour again. It was so awesome, that I actually did! My boss took those of us who report to her on this tour a month ago for our annual team outing. When I told my team about it back at the office thinking we might try it as next year's outing, the vote was unanimous to cancel our other plans in favor of this. Nobody was disappointed. Shane, the tour guide, is fun and makes everyone in the group comfortable. The tour travels through interesting and beautiful neighborhoods that make you want to go back and see more. The food was wonderful, and the proprietors of the establishments were welcoming, many of them giving us a little education session on their products. At the same time there was no push to purchase, since this quick-moving tour leaves little time for browsing. We all learned something new about the city, its neighborhoods and culinary tidbits as well. This event is a must do for tourists and locals alike. Do yourself a favor and don't miss it! |

| A friend had reccomended this tour to us as a great way to get a real "taste" of Chicago. Our guide, Shane, was super from the start! He took us to several different restaurants, each with thier own great tasting food! He also pointed out intersting sights along the way that "non-residents" would not know about. This tour is a great way to get "out and about" in Chicago in a way that is fun and tasteful. The tour also allows you a chance to see more of Chicago than just the regular tourist sights. I would take this tour again the next time I visit Chicago and will reccomend this tour to ANYONE who is going to be visiting Chicago in the near future. |

| The enthusiam, sense of humor and energy level of the tour guide was 80% of the tour. We had a great time. The fact that we walked quite a distance was offset by the fact that there would be FOOD at the next stop! Each stop was an adventure. Our guide kept everyone on their toes by his interactive repartee.
The description of the tour stated that we would be walking 3 miles and need to find our own transport back. We had arranged a car from the hotel to meet us in Old Town after we stopped for a drink, but another couple planned on walking back, they were already dead-tired and were afraid of getting lost. |
