| Tour took 4 hrs rather than 3hrs but it was worth it. Highly recommend tour guide Jennifer, as she was fun and enthusiastic. Don't eat a breakfast prior to the tour. The shop owners are generous in their samples and are very welcoming. Wear good walking shoes. |

| I would recommend this tour to anyone but esp to out of towners. You really get a bird's eye view of our fantastic city and all it has to offer. Your selection of venues had a nice diversity, good food, and websites to visit to purchase items. Thanks, Jennifer, for a great time. Your love of Chicago and its offerings is very evident. |

| We loved the details of the tour; Jenny provided fun facts, history, and information about each individual community. She is full of passion for the city and the local shop owners that we immediately fell in love with Chicago all over again. The shop choices were fabulous and a great variety, which we are sure to revisit again on our next visits. We enjoyed the entire tour and expect to schedule with this tour company again with friends and at the different locations.
Thank you much!

| This was a great tour. It started out with a sandwich at a great Jewish deli, then went to a great tea shop where we got an education about tea and left wondering why coffee is so predominant in the U.S. when tea is the #1 beverage everywhere else in the world. Then it was off to the Spice House which will be getting internet business from me. I've never seen a better selection of organic, fresh spices. Then next door to Old Town Oil, which was my favorite stop. We did an olive oil and balsamic vinegar tasting...don't knock it! We left with a bottle of the best olive oil I've ever tasted and will be ordering the 18 year aged balsamic! Then it was off to the Fudge Pot--yeah, chocolate! Then to a catering and chocolate place, then ending up at Bacino's Pizza for authentic Chicago stuffed crust pan pizza. It was a wonderful and surprisingly educational tour. Highly recommended. |

| My boyfriend and I decided to head to Chicago for a get-away from NC. I noticed a lot of good reviews for the two food tours this particular company does, and decided to get tickets on a day we had nothing planned. It turned out to be a fun experience, and we got to see/eat at places we probably wouldn't have gone to on our own. Our tour guide was knowledgable, and the places we stopped were all great in their own respect! Would definately recommend it to others! |

| The best part of the tour was our guide, Carolyn. She shared a lot of architectural information along the way, which helped our long walk go by faster. I would not recommend the catering and chocolate place, though. And I wish there were more stops on the way from the oil stop to the pizza stop, too long! |

| My wife and I had a great time on the food tour. The guide was delightful. The 7 food stops were excellent choices - places that we would not otherwise have discovered. Highly recommended. |

| We thoroughly enjoyed this walking and cultural tour. Our tour guide, Nikki, was warm, friendly and knowledgeable - she made the tour all the more interesting. I have recommended this tour to all my friends and look forward to doing the Bucktown/Wicker Park tour next time! |

| This was a very worthwhile experience. The amount of walking was reasonable, unexpected information about the city and the neighborhoods was well received, and the guide was very enthusiatic and capable.
My one criticism, and not a major one, is that the promotion of the sights visited needs to be toned down. The tour itself promotes the locations visited, and talking about coming back to patronize the merchants is unnecessary and distracting. |
