| Our group of 8 friends has been going to Chicago every summer for 15 years, and everyone agreed that this was the best activity in which we have participated!! Shane was so much fun and very informative. We loved the walk through Gold Coast, Old Town, and Lincoln Park along with the shop stops. We were pleasantly surprised with not only the wonderful food and drink but with the factual information about the history of each shop. After the tour was over, we returned to the The Spice House, Tea Gschwendner, and The Fudge Pot to buy gifts for ourselves and others!! |

| Our tour guide, Shane, did a terrific job of supplying us both with information and food.
We have already recommended this tour to other friends for when they visit Chicago. |

| We live in the suburbs of Chicago. We thought we knew everything. Well, we didn't.
Who knew there was a Jewish deli on Rush Street? Our guide was great. He kept everything moving along. I don't want to say much more about where we stopped because that is the fun of it. Wear your walking shoes and enjoy yourself. |

| I visit Chicago every year and each time I try to find something different to do. This was a very enjoyable afternoon. The guide was informative and fun! I would highly recommend this tour not only to visitors but to locals looking for something unusual! |

| Wow! This is the BEST way to see Chicago and sample some very good things!
Our tour guide, Nikki, was so enthusiastic, we could have just been happy talking with her. Her knowledge of history and landmarks made our first Chicago visit a really positive one. The foods were very good and we actually returned to three of the shops on the tour in the next two days to shop and eat.
I liked the small group we were in (only 5) and the generous amount of snacking we were permitted. This is the perfect way to see the North Side. I highly recommend it. Out of the seven different things we did in the 5 days we were in Chicago, this tour was my wife's #2 rated after the play, WICKED, and my #3 after WICKED and a Segway tour.
Wow! Why not Segway to the food shops! A great idea!

| It was a great neighborhood adventure. We all learned some history, some trivia and about all those little out of the way really nice shops that are fun and interesting in the various neighborhood's.
Was so nice just too be able to look around and listen to our group leader with out having to check a map for directions. Some wonderful toffee at the Fudge Pot. Learn how to make a proper cup of tea at Gschwendner. The cheese at Cobey Foods was soooo good as well as the pizza at O"Fame'.
The Spice House was nice becasue of being able to taste the hugh variety of spices on their shelves. Looking forward to taking my friends when they come to town to take the tour with me and to having a Ruben at Ashkenaz Deli where the aroma when we walked in was mouth watering.
The walking pace was just right and the guide had a lot of knowledge about the area and was a lot of fun and made us all feel very comfortable and pampered.
Would recommend it a must when in the city. |

| Our tour was more than three hours of great entertainment. Knowledge of all the neighborhoods was supplied in detail by the guide. History of the area and af the various food establishmants was excellent. Lots of trivia was also part of the tour. It was well paced-our group are seniors but had no problems.I will certainly recommend this to anyone going to Chicago. |

| This 3 hour tour exceeded our expectations ... we got a chance to walk through several Chicago neighborhoods and truly admired the city landscapes ... the food was varied and our stops were well timed for a chance to rest ... our guide was exceptional ... he not only knew his stuff, he delivered his descriptions of the food sites, city parks and history with humor and flair. |

| My wife and I took the Chicago Food Tasting and Cultural Walking Tour on a cool, rainey, blustery day. In spite of this it was a totally enjoyable experience. The guide was upbeat, gracious and informative, as were the people at the food establishments where we stopped. We highly recommend the tour. |
