| I had a wonderful time on the tour. The easy way to put this is, there was a middle aged woman of about 50 or so who said at the end of the tour, "I have lived in Chicago all my life and I have never been to any of these wonderful places." If you can show local people things they had never seen, I know I was getting a treat. As a side note i felt the tour guide Kent was a very wonderful and well informed gentlmen. I am a man who love food, but I really think he made the tour for me. |

| Whether you care about the differences between teas or some architectural sights, this tour has plenty of both. Even those just being dragged along for the tour shall find this a very worthwhile 3 hours. |

| We had a great time on the tour. Our guide, Jennifer, was very knowledgeable about the neighborhoods. At the end of the tour, she gave us some great recommendations about other places around Chicago to visit and explore.
The length of the tour seemed just right. We also enjoyed the variety of foods and the fact that all of the businesses were local, independent places. Similarly, exploring residential neighborhoods that were off the beaten track for a typical tourist was great.
We'd definitely recommend the tour, and we hope that Chicago Food Planet will consider expanding its offerings with other food/neighborhood tours in other sections of the city. |

| This was our favorite attraction in Chicago besides Wrigley field. Great walking tour of three chicago historic neighborhoods with snacks along the way. What could be wrong with that. |

| Took family (of 4) + 2 (niece & Nephew - both over 21) to Chicago. Food tour was great! Went back and had dinner at the pizza restaurant, bought spices, oil & vinegar and chocolates at places that were on the tour. Also, ate at one of the recommended spots (Bistrot Margot) that was the best meal we had oon our trip. Will recommend to others, will be purchasing over the internet at these places. Emily was the best! |

| Our guide (Nikki) a woman around forty was excellent and full of a lot of interesting things to tell us. She paced the tour so that no one was left out. She obviously had a good relationship with the shop keepers we visited. Your add was right about it taking care of lunch for the day. All in all a well spent two hours. |

| Kate our guide was very good, other then the places and their food, knew alot bout the history of Chicago and its architecture. She'll try and get to know you during the walk and see what you think of Chicago, and very helpful on questions. Food was great and enough for the afternoon, if ur the hungry type probably get a bite to eat and bring some water. We had a perfect day for it when we went so it was excellent overall. Ive recommended it to my friends |

| This is a great way to see parts of the city that are off the beaten path. Jennifer, our guide, was very well versed on historical and actual facts of the neighborhoods we were walking through.
But the best part is getting into the small shops and tasting their food while getting a lesson on how and why certain things are done. We learned about tea, olive oil, chocolate and stuffed pizza....amongst others. it was great information on top of being extremely entertaining and savory.
We will take another of their tours next time we're in Chicago.
We highly recommend this tour. |
