| The tour was a great way to travel the streets of Chicago with a focus on food, history, and a little architecture. The idea of tasting vinegar and olive oil at first was very different. After sampling several unique combinations, WOW. The Spice Store was a treat to the smell senses, and a great stop. Our group also spent a good amount of time in the Tea Shop, and I would strongly encourage that the stop continue to be a regular. The staff was very knowledgeable, courteous, and helpful. The thing that made the experience so great was our guide, Kent. He was very informative, humorous, entertaining, and a great pace setter. He makes you want to come back again and again. |

| My wife & I thoroughly enjoyed this unique experience of the great city of Chicago. Our guide was very animated and thoroughly knowledgeable. We visited 8 different food places, but I would like to recommend that they substitute at least one of the chocolate tastings for a visit to an ice cream parlour (very welcome during those hot summer days!)
Our best tasting was the Tea Shop "TeaGschwender" which proved to be most informative for something we take daily and for granted. The iced-tea served for tasting was very welcome - Pity we did not have time to make purchases at the food-stops!
WE LOVE YOU CHICAGO! |

| I would suggest this tour to not only out of towner, but Chicagoan's as well. I'm thinking of getting gift certificates for some of my freinds birthdays. |

| This tour was pretty good. We would have liked more information about the neighborhoods, and one of the stops was not necessary (catering company), but overall this was a good overview of the Gold Coast, Old Town, and Lincoln Park areas. |

| The experience turned out better that we expected. The knowledgeable and friendly tour guide not only provided interesting information at each food stop, but also included history and facts about the neighborhoods we visited. We highly recommend this tour for locals as well as out of towners! |

| Excellent, enthusiastic tour guide with wonderful places to stop and see in parts of Chicago we had never been too. We had terrific weather the day we walked which helps. Lots of fun with delicious treats to eat, we were full when we finished. |

| We were visiting Chicago for the first time and took the tour the second day we arrived. We learned more from the tour about Chicago and the individual neighborhoods than from the two tour guides purchased before hand. We also enjoyed the foods on the tour as well as learning about various spices, oils, teas, etc. It was a lot of fun,entertaining and informative. My wife's favorite activity in Chicago (even over shopping) |

| My wife and two young twenty something children did the walking tour and had a fabulous time! The food was wonderful, the tour guide shared information that included architectural, cultural, historical facts and oh yea, she talked about food too! We went into neighborhoods (really nice!) that we wouldn’t have ever seen on our own. I would do it again and whole heartedly recommend it to others. You do walk a significant amount, so GOOD shoes are a must. |
