| When we found this tour on the internet we did not know exactly what we were getting into but WE LOVED IT!! The tour guide was very knowledgeable, pleasant and kept things moving. The different locations visited were outstanding and the food was marvelous. Getting to go into the different neighborhoods and hearing the stories about events that happened in them was very interesting. I would highly recommend this great tour to anyone who wants to get a real view of Chicago city life. |

| Jennifer, our tour guide for the Food Tasting Tour gathered the group in front of the Deli right on time. At each stop, Jennifer gave us all the necessary info and was open to different questions. Excellent presentation at each stop along the tour. She was also very willing to answer other questions re activities in the city. That was much appreciated. I would certainly recommend this Tour to friends who plan on visiting Chicago and hope they are lucky enough to get Jennifer as a guide.
One small suggestion: The Tour Guides should have an I. D. badge.
Thanks for an enjoyable afternoon! |

| We had a most enjoyable experience walking around so many lovely neighborhoods and enjoying the delicious foods. Our guide Jennifer was delightful and pointed out many architecural sights and explained the various neighborhoods and their specialized foods. We never could have done this tour by ourselves. Definitely worth the the price. |

| This tour was wonderful. We had a small group -- only seven on the tour -- and our guide was great. She was informative and fun. Most of the group were in their 20's with a 50/50 mix of Chicagoans and visitors. The highlights for everyone were the specialty olive oil and balsamic vinegar shop and the spice shop. The chocolates and pizza were good too. |

| The tour was exceptional in its choice of local and unique stopes: the best Chicago piza (stuffed), a local fudge shop (to die for) a spice shop, an oil and vinegar shop (for you chefs). Our guide was very enthusiastic and fun and informed. I would highly recommend this walking tour for Chicago. |

| We go to Chicago each year with another couple for the Wright-Walk (Frank Lloyd Wright) weekend. We also like to program enjoyable side trips. When we checked your 3-hour walk around Old Chicago (and its borders), we thought the tasting/cultural tour would be fun.
We LOVED it, in large part because Jennifer, our tour leader was delightful: knowlegeable, full of life and a really pleasant person! Each stop, whether at a Jewish Deli, a chocolate maker---or a balsamic vinegar/olive oil importer's shop was informative and a tasty treat! We will make several purchases from home (NY) on the shops' internet sites.
We enjoyed this tour so much that we are going to check out other offerings, both where we live and other parts of the USA which we visit during the year.
Thanks you people for providing us with such a good time!
Warm regards,

| My wife and I really enjoyed the tour. Our tour guide was personable, knowledgeable & enthusiastic. The shops were unique, but one of the chocolate shops could be eliminated. You should replace it with another shop where the group can get something of substance to eat, like the patato pancake & the pizza. People do expect a progressive eating experience and another type of shop with something of substance to eat would accomplish this. I have recommended the tour to several friends and will continue to do so. Very enjoyable day. Thanks. |
