| I went on this tour with a group of high school students. The teenagers were all excited about the tour . They are still talking about how neat it was. I thoroughly enjoyed the food, the walk was good , and our guide was tremendous. The walk kept you on the move, but we weren't running to keep up. |

| What a wonderful way to educate students in the field of culinary arts. My students fully enjoyed the experience and it stimuated some to want to pursue a career in many of the fields of food we explored on our tour. Our guide was the best and worked creatively with the students. We all thought he was the best.
We are a small downstate school with students in food service and this was the best tour we have ever been on.
Thank you for offering such a wonderful experience. |

| Many people have written that they'd take this tour again. It was so awesome, that I actually did! My boss took those of us who report to her on this tour a month ago for our annual team outing. When I told my team about it back at the office thinking we might try it as next year's outing, the vote was unanimous to cancel our other plans in favor of this. Nobody was disappointed. Shane, the tour guide, is fun and makes everyone in the group comfortable. The tour travels through interesting and beautiful neighborhoods that make you want to go back and see more. The food was wonderful, and the proprietors of the establishments were welcoming, many of them giving us a little education session on their products. At the same time there was no push to purchase, since this quick-moving tour leaves little time for browsing. We all learned something new about the city, its neighborhoods and culinary tidbits as well. This event is a must do for tourists and locals alike. Do yourself a favor and don't miss it! |

| Once a year our department goes on an outing together. I found this one on the Internet while searching for some new ideas. The other members of the group and I agreed that this was the best outing we've had. Our tour guide (who did a great job as he was both knowledgeable and entertaining) took us through some of the most beautiful and interesting neighborhoods in Chicago. He did a great job of pointing out historical areas of interest. The nice variety of foods presented were all great and the weather cooperated as well. We couldn't have asked for more.
We'd definitely recommend this tour and might even take it again ourselves in the future! |

| Our group truly enjoyed this cultural tour of the city, including the food. Even with the unbearable heat and humidity, the tour guide made our trip very comfortable. Water at every stop, including tastes of the area. This is a great experience for persons unfamiliar with the neighborhoods of Chicago, the "off the beaten path" so to speak. Being a native to the area, I still enjoy a day downtown. Our group for a local college, which included persons with disabilities learned a lot in the short time we were together. Not to mention the experience of traveling, time management and manners in the places of business. Great learning experience for our students.
Thank you,

| It was more of a walking tour than expected. But not one to be regretted as I learned far more than expected. Places to eat on future trips and how and why the areas of the city were called what they are. But, the food was a disappointment. On a very hot day fluids are most important, but on a cooler day more food would have been nicer. Chocolate tastes are of interest but not filling.! |

What a great day.

| My husband and I enjoyed the tour very much. Our guide was very knowledgeable about everywhere we went and had a lot of information on just about everything. (Shane you're awesome!)
The only thing we could have used was a map of the area we toured so that when we went back to shop later we would have had more of a feel where we were going. I would recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys tasting a variety of foods. We would have never visited any of these places or found out about others without this tour. It really gave us a chance to see other areas of the city.
Thanks again, it was great. Peggy |

| The walking and sightseeing tour was wonderful, but were'n't we promised food? Tasting a couple of chocolates doesn't consist of eating. I was hungry at the end of the tour. The name of the tour is deceiving. |
