| 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!!! |

| We visited 8 different places and were also given a historical/architectural review of the city as we walked from place to place. They take you on a great path that is very pretty and also fairly shady to avoid the heat.
Not all places were big eating experiences, at one we sniffed and tasted spices, another we tried balsamic vinagers and oils (surprisingly delicious!) but never the less it was still a great learning experience.
I strongly recommend this tour. |

| We loved the tour. Our tour guide, Nicki was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable. We had a great time and can't wait to go back to Chicago to do the other tour! The stores were fun and a bit of the unusual from what we have in Texas. |

Enjoyed by all

| My 3 adult daughters and I really enjoyed this tour. One daughter lives in Chicago and learned of new specialty shops I'm sure she'll return to.
Our weather was perfect so it made the walk easy
Thank you,

| Hi, My husband and I visited Chicago to celebrate our birthdays. I read the reviews on these tours and decided to book it after much consideration...after all...how good could a walking/eating tour really be? I have to say, it was really a great day and I would do it again next time I visit. We had Jessie/Curly as our tour guide and she is full of life, information and passion! Great level of detail, never a dull moment and lots of interesting sites and tastes...and it even rained heavily part way through our tour! It didn't matter cause we all had fun and made the best of it!
You really should take one of their tours if you have not already. Fun day! |

| This was a wonderful tour of many places I never would have known were there, and boy would I be missing out. The tour guide was engaging, enthusiastic, and a pleasure to be around - a true food lover, and very imformative too! I really enjoyed the unique stops and walking through the city learning about some of the buildings we passed along the way. A unique highlight was an unexpected invitation to see the inside of a random passer-by's home in one of those splendidly made buildings we had been talking about. I highly recommend this tour, it is well worth the money and the time. |

| What a delightful afternoon! Now I've another great tour to recommend to locals and our out of town guests! I consider myself the lucky one because I'll have opportunities to return again and again to these neighborhood specialty shops for their delightful offerings!
Our guide was welcoming and knowledgable...about both the food and the local area. The food tastings were unique and delicious. My favorite of the day was the shop specializing in olive oils and balsamic vinegars. Food portions were generous. We ended the tour with our stomachs full and glad that we had walked off some of those pizza and chocolate calories
This is definitely a tour for persons able to maintain a fairly brisk walking pace...wear your comfortable shoes!
