| We had a great tour and our guide was fantastic. We got plenty of interesting information about food and its background and had enough time to spend on every spot in order to explore the stores by ourselves. In addition we got explanations about builidings and areas we passed by. I can highly recommend this tour!!!! I really enjoyed it, so join the tour whenever you make a stopover in Chicago! |

| Had a great time! On the tour we learned some neat facts about Chicago history , saw a good deal of Chicago's amazing architecture, the tasting destinations were all very interesting and informative, the tour guides were fun, and the food was delicious! Definitely recommended. |

| Not only did we learn a lot about tea, spices, olive oil and balsamic vinegar and get to sample these (and chocolate!), we got to see and learn about interesting Chicago personalities, history and architecture. Our guides were VERY helpful and knowledgeable. The tour was the most fun of all that we did in Chicago! |

| The ONLY negative that I can say is that my wife liked the oil & spice shops so much that we went back and spent a bunch of $$. |

| What an awesome tour! Our guide Nicki was very informative and enthusiastic! We enjoyed all the stops with the exception for Catering Chocolate. (They made the group feel like we were an inconvience to them). We enjoyed the experience so much, that we went back the next day and accidently met a couple with whom we toured, ate pizza and revisited the shops! What fun! Will take Chicago Food Planet's other tour next time we visit the city! |

| What a great concept and well executed as well. Nicky was a wonderful guide through the various neighbourhoods we visited. She demonstrated passion for the city and for the tour and all of the stops on it. For me, the tea and cheese store visits weren't the favourites but that's based on personal preference.
The attention to detail was very positive. Bringing water at various stops, providing a few opportunities to sit, stopping at various points of interest during the longer walk periods were all appreciated.
Well done! |

| I booked this tour on-line for a group of four friends prior to visiting Chicago for the first time.
We had an fun and knowledge guide, a good mix of people in our particular group, and it was a fabulously sunny day. The tour excided our expectations. In addition to the food tasting, the tour takes you through several great neighbourhoods that you may not get to. All four of us who where travelling would highly recommend this tour. We all agreed our favorites where the tea, spice and oil/vinegar shops. We went back later to do some shopping. |

| We had a fun and informative tour which was a good introduction to some great neighborhoods. The specialty shops and restaurants were ones I'd not have discovered on my own. The group was friendly and the leader was interesting and knew a lot about food and also the points of interest as we walked along. I enjoyed the samples of foods, spices, tea, and other gourmet items. |

| We were extremely wow'ed by the places we were taken to as we never heard of them even living in Chicago for a few years now. Definitely one of the most highly recommended activity to do in Chicago |
