| I have taken several food tours in various cities, and this is one of the best! The tour was well planned and offered a fantastic sampling of a variety of foods in several neighborhoods. It was such a treat to see so many different things on a nicely paced walk with a fun and informative guide. |

| This was a fantastic activity. I found out about this online and a friend and I decided to try it out. This is the first year of the tour and there is nothing very similiar in Chicago. Our guide did a great job as far as knowledge of the city, giving history but not overdoing it, setting up great tastings, etc. He was personal and fun. I enjoyed the tastings and felt like I saw parts of Chicago I had never experienced. I would highly reccomend this activity. There is a lot of walking which you have to be prepared for. Also, if you love chocolate, this is a great tour! |

| A fun way to see a few different Chicago neighborhoods and taste some food. The tour covered a lot of ground, so be prepared to walk a lot and rather fast! The food stops were fun; the pizza was fantastic! I wish there could have been a few more food stops though. Our guide was enthusiastic, courteous, and entertaining. |

| My husband and I enjoyed the tour very much. Our guide was very knowledgeable about everywhere we went and had a lot of information on just about everything. (Shane you're awesome!)
The only thing we could have used was a map of the area we toured so that when we went back to shop later we would have had more of a feel where we were going. I would recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys tasting a variety of foods. We would have never visited any of these places or found out about others without this tour. It really gave us a chance to see other areas of the city.
Thanks again, it was great. Peggy |

| Our leader (Sean, Shawn?) was enthusiastic. The history of the city, neighborhoods, and buildings is a great addition to food talk. Also, the architecture info. was good. |

| I enjoyed walking through the neighborhoods that we visited. I would have liked a little more history from our tour guide. The food stops were good but I would have like to sit down just a moment or two somewhere during the tour. |

| Shane, our Tour guide, was awesome!! This was the best tour that my wife and I took all weekend and we took 3 of them. Shane was knowledgeable on Chicago's history, facts, and food. It was great to get off Michigan Ave and other tourist venues for a few hours and enjoy Chicago's neighborhoods and attractions to see how the locals live. Also, food/drink we tasted was great and there was plenty of it for second and third helpings if you desired. |
