| Instead of the traditional (BBB) Baseball game, Bowling or Booze outing, our department thought this might be fun...AND IT WAS! What fun it was to walk through the neighborhoods of Chicago while stopping to meet and experience some great stores, food and people? Rebecca was a wonderful host and kept us amused and informed about the architecture and neighborhoods we passed.
I can only add what a great bonding experience it was and my people are still talking about it and planning on doing this again next year...
Thanks for a great outing! |

| What a great way to see Chicago! It's more than a food tour. It's a Chicago experience that is unlike any other I have had - and we visit Chicago frequently! The tastings were great, but I also really enjoyed seeing the neighborhoods and hearing stories about the different places we visited. Rebecca, our tour guide, was full of information. I made sure to wear walking shoes and I brought a bottle of water, both of which came in handy. My favorites were the pizza, the spice shop, the oil shop, and the fudge shop. I even told my husband I'd go on it again another time so he could go. Definitely recommended! |

| We had a great time even though it downpoured most of the time.
Our tour guild, Katie, was fantastic.
The stops were very interesting and we would have enjoyed spending more time at each and probably will go back to most and do so.
Our group seemed to especially enjoy the Oil and Vinegar Store. I agree with them but also really liked several of the other stops as well.
My wife and I greatly enjoyed the experience and will take the new "Bucktown" tour soon. We are telling our friends and family about the tours also.
Thanks,
Michigan Friends |

| did not like being forced on a 4 hr tour through pouring rain. enjoyed the locales and history of the neighborhoods, but caught a pretty bad cold, and would've greatly enjoyed ability to reschedule due to inclement weather. |

| We were visiting from Texas on a day that rain fell a record 12 inches in Chicago!
None the less, we puddle ducked through on our neighborhood tour and had a great time. Emily was a fun and informative guide. I would recommend the tour to others in a snap! |

Fun walk even in a rainy day

| Nikki was a fantastic tour guide, pointing out all the interesting architecture on the walk, answering questions, and giving insight into the Chicago food scene. We never felt rushed, even though I'm sure we were on a schedule. She maintained her enthusiasm, even as the rain continued to pick up and everyone got soaked. We had a great time and would consider one of these tours again when we are in Chicago. |
