| This was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. The $40 was well worth the money spent (but be warned - driving in from the suburbs and parking in Water Tower parking garage added $26 to the cost of the outing).
The tour guide, Nicki, was very knowledgeable about the 3 neighborhoods covered during the 3+ hour walk, and very entertaining.
The food tastings were great - a nice variety. It was nice to visit the local "mom and pop" type of shops that need our business to thrive.
I would highly recommend this tour. |

| We had Jen as our tour guide. She did a great job guiding us through the Chicago tour. I was on the tour with my parent while they were up visiting me in Chicago. The tour was made up of 8 people, which was a good size.
I found out about the tour from metromix. It was great. Jen mentioned that there might be a Chicago loop tour going south. That would be a good idea. I would like to do the tour again next year, but with different spots.
We went back that day and the next to the merchants and used some of the coupons that were handed out with the tour packet.

| My date and I enjoyed all aspects of the tour - the vivacious and knowledgeable guide, the great foods offered by the vendors (the toffee at the FudgePot and the pizza at Bucani's were the biggest hits!), and the up-close and personal view of Chicago that this tour offered. Even though we're just from Milwaukee - practically locals - we found lots of new things to see and places to go that we will definitely re-visit on our next trip to Chicago. |

| It was a great way to spend a beautiful fall day in Chicago. The guide was great - personable, knowledgeable, focused on us having a good time. Enjoyed all the stops and the food. Loved walking through such neat areas of the city. My only suggestion would be to have less chocolate related places and substitute with something else. I would definitely take another tour with your company and hope that you will keep me informed of up and coming events. |

| This was truly a remarkable experience. We had a great group of about 14 total and a beautiful day to walk the neighborhoods of Chicago. I will keep my list of restaurants handy, many I have already been to but some I have not and I look forward to exploring. I do plan on purchasing some gifts (and some items for myself) from a number of the shops we visited. I particularly liked the 18 year aged vinegar and of course, the chocolate samples.
The historical sites and the fun facts regarding real estate and the various changes that these neighborhoods went through were fascinating. I was born in Chicago, grew up in the suburbs and visit the city often, yet I learned a LOT! I would love to explore additional neighborhoods/establishments. Please keep me on your mailing list! |
