| Finding great experiences for sometimes picky children can be a challenge. My 18 yr old son and 15 yr old daughter LOVED the tour!! Learning about the history of the North End,the amazing architecture,introductions to exotic teas,amazing aged balsamic vinegars,flavored olive oils, stuffed pizza, and a Ruben sandwich was the Perfect way to begin our first of many stays in Chicago. Ariana was enthusiastic,knowledgeable, fun and charming. Can't wait to return and take your other tours. Really made the trip and was the prefect beginning to experience a great city. Recommend highly, something for everyone. |

| Great tour! Adriana was enthusiastic about Chicago and wonderfully informed us with unique insights about the various neighborhoods on the tour. A must for those who enjoy leisurely walks, history, architecture, specialty shops, restaurants and samplings. |

| This tour provides an excellent and unique opportunity to experience the architecture, food and vibe of Chicago neighborhoods. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and energetic, and provided us with a wealth of knowledge about the city and its history. I'd highly recommend this tour -- it was the highlight of our trip! |

| We really liked the spice shop and the pizza restaurant and the chocolate shop.
We thought the oil shop was weak. It sold mediocre oil. We have sourced better oil ourselves. we personally have better balsamic vinegar than was on offer in this shop. Weak point of tour.
It would have been helpful if the guide had made recommendations of other restaurants/cafes on our route.
Generally the other places were weak and the food was mediocre. This includes the oil shop and the deli and the sandwich shop. The Wicker Park food tour is much better. |

| With a Ruben on Rye starting as an appetizer and finishing off with a hearty pizza, it is hard to finish all the good food. After all, the generous portions offered will guarantee fulfillment to even the hungriest of guests. I'd recommend the customer to come hungry and leave happy!!! :-) |

| My husband and I enjoyed the tour very much. We were not sure about the spice shop and the Oil shop when we signed up. It turned out that the Old Town Oil shop was our favourite. We loved the experience so much that we went back the next day and tasted more combinations and ordered some to be shipped home. We enjoyed all the stops on the tour. Our tour guide made everything came alive. The pace was good, quantities and mix of food very good. Would recommend it to anyone who is visiting Chicago. |

| My husband and I took the Old Town tour in early August. Our tour guide was Jen. She certainly made our tour worth every penny. We always enjoy exploring bigger cities in a smaller view through the individual neighborhoods. This tour was exactly what we were looking for. It was fun to meet new people and to learn so much about the neighborhoods. All of the tastings were great. The Old Town Oil and Bacino's were my personal favorites. This tour is great for all ages and palates. |

| Our group thoroughly enjoyed ourselves on this tour. Nikki, our guide, was outstanding. She was energetic, knowledgeable of the area and its history and architecture, and was very attentive to everyone on the tour. She casually chatted with everyone and was attentive to the needs of the group. Nikki put in the extra effort to ensure everyone on the tour had a great time. There was a nice variety of stops on this tour. Several places that on my own I probably would have walked right by, but am so glad we visited on the tour. I learned so much and went back to three of the stops after the tour to make purchases.
Our group had taken the Bucktown tour earlier this summer and loved it, but didn't anticipate we could enjoy this one just as much. We were wrong. While the other tour provides you with probably a little more food, we still felt like we had some delicious, generous tastings. I learned more on this tour about the businesses and their wares. Both tours are truly fabulous. The only complaint we might have with this one is that the last stop on the tour is quite a distance from the rest. I won't even call it a criticism because we enjoyed OZ park and learned several interesting things along the way AND the food at the last stop makes it well worth the trip. |
