| My daughter and I spent the whole day learning about Chicago and it's neighborhoods, tasting foods we may never have stopped to try.
We had a great time, would highly recommend it for the locals and your out of town visitors. Our tour guide Shane was knowledgeable and entertaining! It couldn't have been a better day! I would highly recomend it!! |

| I also took this tour thru Greenwich Village, NY. I loved it and recommended it many times. Went a second time with family as we were visiting.
The Chicago tour needs more history and more diversity amoung the stops. Too much candy and chocolate.
Deli - boring, and bad food.
Tea shop - informative and great idea
Old Town Fudge - fun, tasty, great stop
Spice House - I shop there often and enjoy it. They need a bettter presentation and time to shop.
Oil Shop - good idea - time to shop is needed
Bacino's and Ethel's are fun.
You feel too rushed on the tour. Add a half hour and let people shop.
We did enjoy ourselves and appreciate your efforts. |

| We had a great time. Our guide was fun, she even knew alot of Chicago history.
The food tasting was great, wish we had time to shop at the spice and oil shops.
Our group liked the fudge shop the best, and had to force ourselves to eat even more
choc. candy. We had great weather, don't think It would have been fun in the rain. |

| Our guide Jen was fun and knowledgable. The restaurants/stores we visited were wonderful. We stopped in places we would never notice on our own. Everyone was friendly and the tastings were great. We went back to several stores and purchased items we sampled. This is one of the best Chicago tours I've taken. We look forward to taking the Loop tour you may be planning for the Spring. If you have a mailing list, please put us on it! |

| Our tour guide made a valiant effort at keeping our group on schedule, but was ultimately unsuccessful. Of course, WE DIDN'T MIND IN THE LEAST! Each stop represented a unique, fine tasting experience and a local institution, some of which we natives ourselves had never known before! |

| This was a birthday present for my mother and she loved it. We live in the Chicago area and have never been to any of the places we toured. They were all very good and the tour guide was great! |

| I booked this tour online without any knowledge (besides the reviews I read) of what to really expect. I was FAR from disapointed!! This was the most awsome day. You get a guided casual fun walk around the beautiful neighborhoods of Chicago, with stops along the way to taste and learn about the foods and the neighborhoods. The tastings are not just small bites. You really get a large sample to taste and sometimes there are seconds to go around. Walking around Chicago in the awsome, beautiful, interesting neighborhoods, snacking as you go, is my idea of the perfect day....and it was!! |

| Very much enjoyed the architectural part of the tour as well as the tasting at some of our eight stops. The tour guide (Shane) was very informative and the tour was not hurried. We were not able to purchase any items during the tour but we were all given maps and coupons to return to the business when the tour was over. It was a lot of walking so wear good shoes. |

| When I bought the tickets I was hoping this would be a fun activity for us. I was completely surprised by the amount of fun as well as the food and the background of Chicago that was given. Everyone I spoke to was surprised at how excited I was after the trip and many asked how they could learn where to get tickets. I have a really bad knee and was concerned about walking 2 miles but it didn't seem that long as the stops were perfectly spaced and some allowed you to sit for a few minutes. The food was fantastic and well portioned. I was a little concerned about going to the Old Town Oil however, when asked at the end about your favorite place over have the group said it was Old Town Oil. I think most everyone would enjoy this tour. |
