| This tour is definitely a must do while in Chicago! My girlfriends and i took the Near North tour last weekend and had a blast. I've been to Chicago several times, but never seen the city like this. Our tour guide, Jessie, was very knowledgeable about the city, the food, and the architecture. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Chicago. |

| Wow! I cannot say enough about the Near North Food Tour! This was a great way for me to see the heart of Chicago on my short weekend trip! The worst part was that I was LATE and missed the first 2 stops. I took the train when i should've taken a cab from my hotel. Just when I had given up, my cell phone rings and it's Nicky of the tour and she says, "Shawna, are you still coming to the food tour?" WOW! The website says they will not wait for you, but it doesn't say that they won't take care of you! Nicky gave me a number to a cab company and kept up with me 'til I caught up with the tour! AMAZING! I sampled the most awesome foods, saw some of the greatest buildings and was in the company of an EXCELLENT tour guide and enthusiastic travelers! I had too much toffee (can that happen?), loved the cinnamon and over did it on the pizza! I've placed an online order for the vinegars and oils and I can't wait to get back! Sign up! You'll get MORE than your money's worth! |

| We had a great walking tour on our visit to Chicago. Our guide Jessie was fun, energetic and enthusiastic, which was contagious. I loved the spice shop and the oil and vinegar shop. The stuffed pizza was to die for! If you consider yourself a foodie and enjoy hearing about Chicago while you wear off those calories you just consumed, I think you will love this tour. |

| I did the Near North tasting food tour with my boyfriend and we had such a great time! Our tour guide was full of fun facts and was so personable. We learned so much about the Chicago neighborhoods and about Chicago food, way more than we expected! I would recommend it to anyone! We went back to most of the places we visited on the food tour straight after the tour to buy products. You will not regret it! |

| This was a highlight of our group's bus trip to Chicago. Our guide Emily was perfect. We had a wonderful time walking, talking, laughing, tasteing, and learning about the north neighborhoods of Chicago. After the tour we back tracked our route so we could make purchases at the different stops. All the shops were very friendly and helpful. We have already recommened this tour to other friends going to Chicago this summer. The pizza was too good to discribe! |

| I very much enjoyed the tour of food emporiums in this Chicago neighbourhood. As well as a delicious way to find out what the city had to offer, I learned lots about the history, architecture and city planning that makes Chicago what it is today. My favourite stops were the spice and oil/balsamic vinegar shops ... unique and interesting locations. |

| I enjoyed our guide. She was thoroughly knowledgeable about the city and
its history. The walking tour and specialty shops along the way were very enjoyable.
I would not recommend the tour for eating in the sense that you would be satisfied
that you had eaten enough for a meal. The quantity was enough however the choices
offered at the beginning and end of the tour were not my favorite. |

| We had a great tour guide, very informative and friendly. But 3 hours is a little too long. I would recommend shortening it to 2 hours to maintain everyone's interest. The food samples were NOT very good... except for the chocolate samples. |

| The walking architecture and food tour was the perfect thing to do. The weather was perfect and our guide, Nikki, did a fabulous job of informing us about Chicago history and foods. Getting into the neighborhoods and away from the hustle and bustle of the city and walking at a leisurely pace with lots of shade trees was simply ideal. There was plenty of food to sample and our small group of 15 was able to stay together and we were always able to hear what was said by our guide. I would recommend this tour to anyone that would like to do something just a little bit different. We even had some local people in our group who also added insight into some of the neighborhoods and homes. Very fun!!! |
