| Seeing the neighborhoods of Chicago (which you might miss on your own) was great! Nice tour if you have never been to Chicago before. Go early in the morning if you can so you can return to the neighborhoods to explore more on your own. Thank you from Art and Karen in Arizona. |

The Near North Side Tour was better than expected!

| Our group consisted of a grandma, an aunt, a mom and a teenager. We all loved the tour and found something interesting and learned a thing or two. We were initially concerned about the 3mile walk, however, no one had any trouble keeping up. We were very impressed by our tour guide, Arianna, whose enthusiam was infectious from the beginning to the end of the tour. This tour was exactly what I wanted. We visit Chicago yearly and were looking for a different way of seeing another side of Chicago. This was a safe way of getting to see more neighborhoods in Chicago. I recommend to continue to add neighborhoods or themes to these walking tours.
Wonderful job....will pass on experience to friends! |

| Everything was great about the tour with the exception of the weather. We loved all the stops and our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It was a nice change from most tours and you got to eat some great food !!! I will definitely take the other tour on my next visit to Chicago. |

| I was in Chicago with my husband - who was attending a legal conference, therefore, while he was in meetings, I wanted to do something besides just shopping. I do love to cook, so that is why I chose this tour, because of the blend of places that we visited. The mix of shops was perfect and I did go back to 3 of the places and made purchases. Our tour guide was Jen and she was great - very engaging and full of facts and knowledge about Chicago history. It did rain almost the whole tour, but we were having such a great time that I don't think anyone minded - just be sure to take an umbrella and raincoat if rain is in the forecast! I would definitely take the other tour the next time I come to Chicago - but I can't imagine that it could top this one. |

| My sisters and I took the tour and all three of us loved it. Our guide, Jenny, was great, full of information on the Gold Coast. The tour lasted a little over three hours, but the time flew. Don't eat much before you go, you'll get a lot to eat! |

| Our guide was excellent and helpful with suggestions.
Anyone who enjoys food and tourism should spend part of their day. I enjoyed seeing another area of Chicago. I learned alot.
I am highly recommending my daughter and I go to the food tour in Washington. |

| 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. |

| I am a tour operator and just took a small group on this tour. Everyone was extremely happy with what we did. First of all, our leader/guide was fantastic. She was very enthusiastic about Chicago and the neighborhoods we saw. She was very knowledgeable about the architecture. The stops at the venues we had were so much fun. They were not your usual "chain" shops. We all went back the next day to make purchases! I would recommend this trip to everyone. We had some ladies that were over 80 years old and they did opt to take a taxi to our last stop, but that worked out fine. Great day! |

| My Mom and I had never been to Chicago and read about this tour so decided it would be a nice way to learn about Chicago and start our trip. The tour was fantastic! We learned a lot, had an excellent tour guide, a great group of fellow tourists and the food/beverages were excellent (I'll be ordering several things from the places we visited - not enough room in my luggage to get them at the time). If we had known how much fun this was going to be we would have booked both tours for the same vacation, but we plan to return to Chicago on a future vacation because we loved the city so much. We both highly recommend this tour and agree with others about doing it at the beginning of a trip to learn more about Chicago (advice we got from others who had provided feedback when we were looking for things to do in Chicago). |

| This was a wonderful way to get to know more about three Chicago neighborhoods. Each stop on the tour was a local food merchant with great product and food. Our guide was fun, knowledgeable about both food and neighborhood lore. It rained be we still had a great time! |
