| Myself and my two friends had a great time! We learned interesting information about the areas and enjoyed the food tastings. We would have liked to have visited a bread shop but enjoyed all of our tastings very much. Our tour guide, Sean, made our experience even more enjoyable. Very up beat and fun. |

| This is one of the best things we've done. We got exercise and had great food. It was wonderful to do a walking tour of Chicago - you see so much. Also, our guide was the best. He was funny and he really knew the area and the specialties in the shops and restaurants.
My only complaint would be that we had no opportunity to buy anything. We will probaby go back to our favorite places. I've recommended this tour to everyone I've talked to. |

| I absolutely recommend this tour. Our guide, Nicki, was fun, well-informed, and enthusiastic, and the places we stopped to eat were all really interesting, not to mention offering delicious food. It was a great way to learn about other neighborhoods that are somewhat off the beaten track. I might recommend having only one chocolate stop, but other than that, you can't miss with this tour. |

| I took my parents, who were visiting from Florida, on the Chicago Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour. We met just off crowded Michigan Avenue, but quickly made our way into the quieter, less touristy neighborhoods. My parents were charmed by the tree-lined streets of the Gold Coast and Lincoln Park Neighborhoods. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and told us not only about the foods we were eating, but the history of the neighborhoods we were visiting as well. The food samples were larger than I had anticipated and I ended the tour 3 hours later on a fairly full stomach. I recommend this tour to anyone who has seen Chicago's main tourist attractions and would like to see something new. |

| We loved the walking part of the tour and the location, but we feel that the tasting part was short. If we had allowed it to be lunch, we would have starved...Spices, oil and vinegar, and chocolate are not what we expected, tho interesting. A bit more explanation of the areas would be good too. It covered a wonderful section of Chicago and that was great!

| Interaction with the other group members made this event very special and personal. Tasty treats and historical tidbits while seeing Chicago up-close made this event great for out-of- towners. My favorite was Old Town Oils. I had to go back a few days later and buy the strawberry balsamic vinegar; it was so delicious! My French relatives really enjoyed the day. |

| I am a local downtown Chicago and can go back to the stores. Most people in our group were not local and would of liked to shop at the stores. Maybe fewer stops or closer shops so time to shop. Very nice tour and guide. We had 9 in our tour which I thought ideal. Maybe raise price and have fewer people then time to shop. |

| We had a wonderful time. The walk was easy and we were able to stroll along. I only wish we could have spent more time in each of the stores since they were all wonderful! LOVED the Spice place! |
