| There were 7 of us and 6 of us enjoyed it and 1 of us was not pleased with anything that we did. The stores and lectures were interesting and we really enjoyed the varity of the types of stores we visited. We thought we should have been offered bread at the oil shop so we could really get a taste of the oil and that we could have done some shopping at the stores we visited. I am sure the walking was a lot longer than the literature stated, we thought that the Lincoln Park part of the tour should be a tour by itself ,because it was so interesting but we had to hurry through it. I am not sure the tourist understood that they were in 3 different neighborhoods. Our guide Jennifer was great and really knew a lot about each neighborhood and could answer question that were asked. We also thought you could fine a nice pizza place in the Old Town area and make the tour for the Gold Coast and Old Town by itself. Most of us loved the tour and have given the info to many people, thanks for the informative and treats of the Windy City and State Street that great street tour. |

| Not only did we taste a fun variety of foods and beverages, we learned lots of great details about the Chicago neighborhoods we toured and Chicago in general. Food, history, culture all received excellent attention. Our guide, Jennifer, was very skilled and forthcoming with any info we asked of her. This tour was one of our first choices when we were planning our Chicago vacation, and it definitely was worthy of being on our itinerary. Foodies and culinary types will love this tour too. |

| I enjoyed my Near North food tour so much! Our tour guide was so friendly and knowledgable on all things related to the food we tasted and the neighborhoods we walked through. It gave me a chance to not only try different foods but to see different parts of Chicago I may not have had a chance to experience. I had a wonderful time and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Chicago! |

| I was impressed with the guide, I really liked her. She was very informative and showed that she really loved to show people her city. I have been on several foodie tours in other cities (Boston, Ann Arbor, etc) and thought this one was excellent. |

| Good food, great tour. We learned about the Chicago neighborhoods, buildings, and of course, great places to eat. I impressed my Chicago friends (I am from San Francisco) with my knowledge of local eateries that they did not know about.
This tour is worth every penny. |

| This was a great activity that I would recommend for anyone! We live in Chicago and had family in from out of town. This was the perfect way to experience some unique Chicago food, as well as a beautiful walk through the city. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable on both the food, architecture, and history of the city. We will definitely be back! |

| I've lived in the Chicago northwest suburbs for eleven years. I've brought tourists to the city at least twice a year but have never gone on this unique tour until last September. Had it not been for my sleepless nights with my newborn baby, I wouldn't have found it featured on the late night show "190 North".
I couldn't have picked a better tour for my foodie mother who came all the way from Asia. It was a food tour, architectural tour, and a neighborhood tour all rolled into one. We particularly enjoyed the spice & herb specialty shop and the oil and vinegar store.
I only wish they had allowed the group to shop for at least five minutes on each stop. It was really inconvenient to go back, plus we were a bit poofed after walking for three hours.
I'm already planning to go to the Bucktown tour with my husband next year. |
