| 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. |

| This was a great tour! I love to eat, so being able to combine food tastings with experiencing various areas of Chicago was great! The food tastings were varied and good, and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and outgoing. I would definitely recommend the tour to anyone visiting the area. |

| We loved the walking tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the neighborhoods and the shops that we visited. The clerks at the shops were very friendly. And we loved the wide variety of sample foods.
One caveat: We knew ahead of time that the tour would not end where it began. BUT we had no idea how really far away it was to be. In our tour, we finished about 45 minutes away from where we started! PLUS we had to walk another 30-some minutes to get back to our parked car. By the end of the day we were VERY tired. It might be better if the tour could somehow be planned to end where it began. |

| The tour had the perfect balance of food tasting, walking, and unique cultural information from the tour guide. We both were pleasantly full by the end of the tour, had acquired interesting knowledge on that area of Chicago, got a good 2 mile (leisurely) walk in, and are definitely recommending the tour to all of our friends/family! |

| This walking tour is a great way to see parts of Chicago you won't find in the guide books. The food aspect was fun and delicious, but the walk was interesting and informative as well. I would definitely recommend this activity to anyone wanting to see more of the city besides the typical tourist sites, provided they enjoy walking. The tour takes several hours and you are on the go most of the time, so would be taxing for someone who does not walk much or is very out of shape. Shane is a great guide, and he makes the tour fun, as well as educational. |
