| Our guide Jennifer was a perfect example of what a quality tour guide should be....enthusiastic, informative and professional.......I appreciated the fact that the places we visited were out of the ordinary.........the walking tour provided a nice way to learn about Chicago history, social aspects and architecture of the area and of course, enjoy the food tastings......I've already placed an ordered from Old Town Oil and plan to order from Tea Gschwendner for the holidays...............................................
........thank you....Janis Goto of Honolulu, HI. |

| A really fantastic tour and great way to get to know a bit more about the city. From our very friendly and knowledgeable guide, great stores etc where we sampled everything from tea, pizza, spices...as well as getting some idea of the history and architecture of the city. Not one part of the tour could be faulted - would definitely do it again if I ever come back to Chicago. |

Very informative!

| I loved being able to see the different stores available in the area. Not being from Chicago we got pretty lost trying to go back to patron the stores. |

| The guide on this tour was knowledgeable, friendly and obviously enjoys her work. This experience gave me the chance to find out a little more about Chicago that I would never have found out for myself. I went along on my own for this tour and felt comfortable as everyone in the group was friendly. I thought it would have been tiring walking for 3 hours but the time flew in and there were lots of stops and delicious treats along the way. One of the highlights of my trip. |

| This tour was fun, educational and just an overall great way to spend the day. Our tour guide was very well informed and delightful. Also, this is a fantastic way to learn more about Chicago and visit establishments you may not necessarily visit on your own! Sign up for this tour you will not regret it!!! |

| This tour far exceded my expectations. The guide was fantastic and the food was delicious. There was a lot of variety in the types of stops on the tour. The neighborhoods that we walked through were beautiful and the guide was very knowledgable about them. I highly recomend this tour and will definately go on another tour by this company the next time I am in Chicago. I also wanted to mention that I went on the tour by myself b/c my husband was in Chicago on business and I still had a fantastic time. Do not miss this tour! |

| I was impressed with the guide, I really liked her. She was very informative and showed that she really loved to show people her city. I have been on several foodie tours in other cities (Boston, Ann Arbor, etc) and thought this one was excellent. |

| Everything was great. I would have paid a bit more, given the lunch places were better, and with better food.
Also I would wish tour was not as lengthy. half hour less would be great. |

| My wife and I very much enjoyed this tour. Two things stand out: first, a brief review of the architectual and cultural aspects of Near North Side of Chicago was quite interesting and not something you get on the big tour buses. Our guide, Jennifer, was quite knowledgeable about the area (s). I especially enjoyed the walk through the Gold Coast area and seeing some of the homes there - Florsheim and Playboy Mansion stand out. Jennifer knew the prices of the condos that are being converted from the old mansions. Second, the foods and accompanients on Wells St. in Old Town was also interesting. I think this part of the tour is mostly for the ladies, but I particularly enjoyed testing the oils and vinegars at Old Town Oil. I wanted to take some home, but cannot due to restrictions of liquids on air flights. We both enjoyed the deep dish pizza in Lincoln Park. One thing I would have enjoyed on the food tour would be a "Chicago hot dog". I have heard of these but not sure how they are different from other hot dogs. That about sums it up. Say Hi to Jennifer!
