| I enjoyed the tour and the information. Our tour guide, while knowlegeable, has poor questioning skills and acted much like an elementary teacher. I'm confident she has no idea that she sets people up for never being able to answer correctly or in other instances, asks such obvious questions as to be condescending. ("Can you guess what language that might be?") The stops themselves were interesting. It was quite a long walk(4hrs), but I saw sights I would not have otherwise. I would recommend the tour, but not our guide. |

| Enjoyed the pacing and the variety. Would cut out the last chocolate in favor of adding an Asian offering. We also enjoyed the history of the local neighborhoods and would enjoy knowing more if available. Lastly, transpertation should at least be offered to get back to starting point, not saying it has to be free.
Thanks,
Steve and Carol |

| The Food Walking Tour was well thought out and well managed. Our guide was friendly, informal and knowledgeable. We enjoyed being introduced to a variety of specialty stores and shops, as well as being acquainted with some of Chicago's lesser known landmarks. We would recommend the tour to others and would go on the tour again. |

| Our leader was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The tour would have have been hard for someone with walking difficulties.
We took the tour with our adult daughters and future daughter-in-law. We had a great time on a great day. |

| As a food industry professional, I found the tour interesting.
The tour should be called the Food and Architecture Tour. The guide was extremely well versed in both specialty foods and the history of Chicago's buildings.
I strongly urge anyone who has interest in these areas to take the tour. |

| Tour was okay - lot of walking (thank goodness it was not a hot day), Jewish deli potato pancake good (may be pastrami sampler - 1/4 of sandwich - would be better and those who do not want pastrami or corned beef can have the potato pancake) cheese and crackers good (not much time to shop), stuffed pizza delicious, oil & vinegar tasting ok, spice store interesting again, not much time to shop. Chocolate candy stores (2) nice but to be honest, thought I would be sampling food (naturally, in small amounts). Tour guide was very nice, spoke well, and knew the history of the neighborhoods. Thank you. |

| We've done the uptown, downtown, museums, etc. This tour gives a whole new perspective on the LOCAL scene. Neighborhood history comes alive as we walked among the shops and homes with our guide providing insights. Stopping at small food stores made for a culinary experience as well. Since the tour ends at a different point than it begins, we doulbed our pleasure by walking back on a different route. We are recommending this tour, and the new Bucktown venture, to our friends and family. |

| Our guide Emily was very friendly and informative. The foods we sampled were
very good and even tough our feet hurt by the end, we were very glad to have selected the tour as one of the ways we got to experience Chicago. |
