| My sister and I enjoyed every minute of the tour. We have been to Chicago several times but this is the first for a tour. We were pleasantly surprised at how much fun we had, the knowledge of the guide (Shane) and the amount of food. We were full!!! I never thought we would say we had too much chocolate but we did---our own fault. We would highly recommend this to everyone. Shane was a personable guide and it made for a very pleasant afternoon. |

| I had been on a Greenwich tour in NYC and decided to take the Chicago one. It was just as wonderful as the NYC tour. Our guide Nicki was great and very informative. When I bring my sisters back for a visit, this will definitely be on the agenda

| I VERY MUCH ENJOYED THE FOOD TOUR, IT WAS EVEN BETTER THAN I HAD ANTICIPTED. THE GUIDE WAS SO FRIENDLY AND INTERESTING AND MADE EVERYONE ON THE TOUR FEEL WELCOME. I REALLY ENJOYED ALL THE DIFFERENT PLACES/FOODS WE TRIED. THE WALKS THROUGH THE VARIOUS NEIGHBOURHOODS WAS EXTREMELY INTERESTING TOO-I WOULD NEVER HAVE FOUND ALL THOSE NICE SPOTS BY MYSELF IN THE FEW DAYS I HAD IN CHICAGO. NICKI MADE ALL THE INFORMATION SOUND FRESH AND INTERESTING EVEN THOUGH SHE HAS PROBABLY GIVEN THE TOUR HUNDREDS OF TIMES. THE YOUNG MAN, TROY, WHO WAS IN TRAINING WITH NICKI WAS ALSO VERY PLEASENT AND INFORMATIVE. IT WAS VERY GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY AND I WOULD RECOMMEND THE TOUR TO ANYONE GOING TO CHICAGO. |

| Enjoyed the tour guide
Guide was considerate and entertaining
Loved the interesting facts on the archtiecture
Was lead to believe it was a two mile walk, according to my pedometor, I think it was closer to six. Those with health issues should know ahead
Thought there would be more food to taste, but enjoyed the walk and the facts along the way
I would highly recommend this tour |

| My husband and I went on the tour on Friday, July 20th. We had Nicki as our guide. She was so pleasant and helpful and well informed. I am 8 months pregnant and she was very aware of me getting tired or needing a rest room or having caffeine, which I really appreciated.
The tour was so much fun and so informative. We learned a lot about the beautiful city of Chicago and all the great small food businesses there. I highly recommend this tour. It was the perfect amount of food, walking and a really great learning experience. I am so glad that I found it and we had such a fun tour guide. Definite thumbs up! Cathy from Philly |

| We really enjoyed ourselves on the tasting tour. Our tour guides Shane and Troy were fantastic- very informative and fun. Not being originally from Chicago, this was a great way to see parts of the city we have never really explored. Thanks for a fun day! |

| We knew there would be food-but the cultural part of the day was just as noteworthy. Our gude was very knowledgable about the food and the neighborhoods. The selection of shops that we visited was unique-a tea shop-a spice vendor as well as the chocolate, the pizza, the candy. We took three tours while in Chicago and this was without question the best. The information about the neighborhoods was extremely interesting. Our guide was fabulous. Hie combined information with breaks and kept us moving and involved the entire time. My daughter just moved to Chicago and she found the information very helpful. |

| We took the foodie tour on 7/23/07. Our tour was everything we expected and more. Shane did an outstanding job sharing information about the architecture, history and food. I was very impressed with his knowledge and obvious interest in the sites and facts he shared with us.
I absolutely recommend the tour and Shane as a guide! |

| I can't say enough good things about the food tour! I knew I'd be learning about and tasting new types of foods, and that was wonderful, but the cultural experience went above and beyond what I expected. Our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and a joy to listen to as as we walked and ate/drank our way through various neighborhoods. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who can walk the distance. Comfortable shoes are a must--I have the blisters to prove it :) |
