| We had a group of 13 and across the board everyone of us truly enjoyed this. We are all Chicogo based people and were looking for a team building activity and just found this on the web. We had a great time across the board, learned a lot more about Chicago both the town and the food stops that were officially part of the tour.
We made lots of comments about how it was great to be local and learn more about our home town. |

| We were extremely wow'ed by the places we were taken to as we never heard of them even living in Chicago for a few years now. Definitely one of the most highly recommended activity to do in Chicago |

| I grew up in Chicago and was unaware of some of the history and architecture. I really enjoyed going to eateries and shops that I did not know existed. Whether you are a visitor or a local, you will enjoy the experience. The guide, Jennifer was amazing and the rain did not affect the tour. |

| I got a group of 16 ladies together to celebrate my sister's birthday in early October. None of us had ever done this tour but I had heard great things about it from a friend. Our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, the day was picture perfect as far as the weather goes, and it was a unique experience. The shops we visited were places that we may never have known about unless we were on this tour, we learned some interesting tidbits about a couple of different areas in the city and there was plenty of time for chatting amongst friends as we walked between destinations. A highly successful event and a couple of the ladies said they would do it again with different friend groups.
Our ages ranged from 20 years old to almost 60 and everyone enjoyed it. |

| I brought my friends on this tour because my daughter did it last year with a group who were food scientists and members of the Institute of Food Technologists.
Being natives of the Chicago area, I couldn't believe how much I didn't know about the near north neighborhood. Emily, our guide, was delightful, extremely well informed, and a deligh! She never hurried us, answered all our questions, and made our day in the city not only enjoyable but educational. Give her a raise!!!!!
Thank you Emily!
How about a new type of tour that includes ethnic establishments? Just a thought. |

| I was impressed with all aspects of the tour: the host/tour leader, the places that we explored, the educational aspects, the fun stops, and the weather was also great that day! The leader knew her food, information about Chicago, and she had the charisma and energy need for a great tour leader. I am from Chicago, but there were many things I learned that not all natives might not know. The group was smaller and very friendly so that helped as far as individual attention. I feel enriched as a result of the tour, and I would highly recommend it ! You won't be disappointed and it truly was a culinary adventure! |

| The information on the area was great, we could have handled even more on some of the buildings we passed. The food and information at the stores was well done and much appreciated. |

| We enjoyed the tour very much. We are from the area and were aqauinted with some of the architectural discussion but the concept of a "food" oriented tour is very unique. We just wish there was more opportunity to taste from some of the great restaurants we passed rather than pizza and potato pancakes. |

| I went on the Chicago food/walking tour this past weekend and had a fabulous time! I have been spreading the word ever since to neighbors and friends, urging them to go! We had an excellent tour guide named Jen and she made it so much fun! I went with my husband, his 4 siblings and their spouses and it was unanimous that everyone had a BLAST! Along with getting great exercise, you get a lot of great food (and chocolate!) and you learn some really interesting facts about some of the neighborhoods in Chicago! There is another tour that just opened up in Bucktown and I am going to check it out for sure! It is definitely a great memory that my family and I will NEVER forget! |
