| This was an entertaining way to learn a lot of interesting facts about Chicago and to get a nice sampling of some of the food for which the city is famous. The walk was easy. The guide was fun to be with, thoughtful of her clients and full of helpful tips that made our weekend in the city even better than expected. The entrepreneurs who visualized this tour came up with a winner! |

Great way to view a "different" side of Chicago

| Everyone tours downtown Chicago, but if you want to see the "softer side", I would highly recommend the food tour. Our tour guide "Nicki" was great. She kept us going at a good pace, informed us of the neighborhoods we were in, pointed out different restaurants along the way, and spread out the food tastings in a way where you didn't eat everything all at once.
The tour was so well organized, that we never had to wait for our tasting. The first stop, there were at least 50 potato pancakes individually wrapped, and waiting for us. When we reached the pizza place, again, three pizzas came out, the table was set, it was great. The food is not little tiny samplings either. We could hardly eat dinner, 5 hours later.
We were given great coupons to use after the tour. We actually went back and took advantage of two of the stops on our tour. I would highly recommend this tour. |

| We had an absolute blast and learned quite a bit more about the city than we thought we would. It was all very interesting, and the food was very good, with one exception. None of us (six) enjoyed the potato pancakes. They were very greasy and heavy, and not a good way to start the tour at 11am. It didn't detract from the tour; we just ate a few bites to be polite and pitched them. |

| My wife and I really enjoyed the tour. It was very informative and took us to places we would probably not have found on our own. The food was really interesting - and tasty but it was good have information given about other aspects of Chicago such as architecture. |

| I was truly impressed by the food tour. I thought it was well organized and thought out. I loved both the food introduced and architectural/historical tour. We covered a lot of ground and food within a short period of time but it flew quickly by. Our tour guide Jennifer was such a pleasure. She was courteous, gracious and engaging and I would highly recommend her as a tour guide for others in the future.
My top three highlights of the tour would be the tea geschwender shop, the spice merchants and the Old Town Oil. The stops were very informative. Being from San Francisco and a food lover I didn't think I would see anything new that I haven't already seen before. Boy was I wrong!
LOVED LOVED LOVED THE TOUR!! A big thumbs up and a big "shout out" to Jennifer!!

| I went on many tours during my visit to Chicago and this one was by far the best. Shane was fun, outgoing, and very knowledgable about the food and the city of Chicago. I had so much fun walking with the group and learning about the different foods, landmarks and history of Chicago. I recommend this tour to anyone who loves to walk, eat and learn about history. |

| My husband and I had been on the Food and Cultural tour in NYC for Greenwhich Village. It was outstanding! We were a little dissapointed with this one. First we thought a bottle of water should have been given at the beginning. I don't think it was appropriate for the tour guide to mention gratuities at the start of the tour. If you want to mention it on the ticket or website fine. Our guide in NYC never mentioned it and everyone knew what to do. It comes off classier. Their weren't many tastings. And while I appreciated the uniqueness of the places nothing was too outstanding. |

| The guides were great, knowledgeble and entertaining.
The tour was full of food info, restaraunt info and local info.
For someone from out of state, it was a great way to get a feel for the area to be able to go back and shop. I definitely recommend it to people visiting and locals as well. |
