| It's hard to tell friends, "Yeah, we walked a couple miles, stopped for tastings and several local businesses, and learned a little history along the way" without their eyes glossing over and them wondering why you blew your money on something so boring.
The reality, though, is just the opposite. The tour was the highlight of our day, and we still can't stop talking about the things we saw and did. Our guide was excellent, the shops were delightful, and the day was extraordinarily well-spent. We'd do it again in a heartbeat. |

| Jennifer, our guide, was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and full of joie de vivre. We had a thoroughly wonderful experience. Having lived all my life in Chicago I still learned a thing or two about my city, in addition to enjoying all the food stops. I hope you will create other tours equal to this one. I have already recommended this to several of my friends. Kudos for a job well done. Thanks to our lovely guide as well. |

| This is much more than your average food tour. Not only do you get a taste of Chicago's culinary offerings, but a feel for the history and the pride of the people of the city of Chicago. Many members of our tour group stated that they really enjoyed everything about the tour and were particularly taken with the tea, spice and oil shops for their uniqueness. The food items provided for tasting were a well rounded assortment and plenty for my party. I believe all of us were especially impressed with our tour guide, Kate, who was not only knowledgeable and easy to talk to but friendly to one and all. She made the experience even more enjoyable. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get the true "flavor" of Chicago. |

| Touring the tea house, spice shop and oil/vinegar shop were the three highlights of the food portion on this tour. The pairing of Chicago history while strolling through Lincoln Park, Olde Towne, the Gold Coast, etc. made the tour far superior to just a "Food tour". Our guide was a pleasure and kept the group moving when required. My wife and I would recommend this tour to anyone. Have a good breakfast that morning and wear comfortable shoes. Enjoy! |

| I was on an annual "sisters' trip." Our tour guide was Jennifer. It was obvious how much she enjoys her "job." She was very enthusiastic and a wealth of information. She was one of those people you envy - seemed truly happy and excited about what she was doing.
The places included in the tour offered a good variety of food/tastes. The walking justified the eating! The walk was at a comfortable pace. What a great way to spend a morning/afternoon. I would highly recommend the activity to any "foodie." |

| It was great for a first timers visit to Chicago. The tour had internationals, locals, and just regular visitors. Everyone had a really good time and I was lead to areas of Chicago that I otherwise would have never seen for a 'first visit'. Loved it and will recommend it to others. I would recommend to the tour people to put some place on there about hot dogs. Just a thought... |

| The Chicago Food Tour was very enjoyable. The different stops were diverse and interesting. The guide's knowledge of local history, architecture, and interesting info was impressive. It was a lot of walking, so do wear comfortable shoes and bring an umbrella. The tour does go on rain or shine. I would recommend this tour. It was well worth the money. It would be great if the tour company could offer other tours in other neighborhoods. |

| We really enjoyed learning about the different types of architecture in the city. Different tour themes would be a good idea to get repeat customers. |
