| We took this tour for my mom's 50th Birthday. She loved it - she said it was the best birthday present that she has ever received. We had Nikki as our tour guide and she was fantastic - very knowledgeable and fun! |

| My husband and I enjoyed the walk as well as the unique food stops along the way. Our tour guide was very knowledgable in the history of Chicago and shared her own architectural expertise as we explored the Gold Coast, Old Town, and Lincoln Park. Wonderful tour to do if you want to explore Chicago! |

| Did the Bucktown tour a few weeks earlier.......
Both tours were good, and felt the Bucktown was the best of the two.
Both guides excellent, but there was more food on the Bucktown. |

A great time for all

| This was a great way to see the city and hear bits about food, architecture, and the character of the neighborhoods we were walking through. I'd say my least favorite stop was Catering/Chocolate - nothing special there at all. The other stops were a lot of fun, especially Old Town Oil and the Spice Shop, and the pizza place was a perfect way to end the tour. Our tour guide was so enthusiastic and you could tell that she really loved her city. Good way to get to know the city. A bit more local color would be nice - Italian beef, Chicago hot dogs, etc, but my husband and I really enjoyed ourselves. |

| We were somewhat disappointed with the tour. It's a great concept, however, there is room for improvement.
The last 2 stops are a waste of time! The catering place was boring (and the owner couldn't so much as to lift his head to say "hello" and welcome us to the store). Who needs to go there??? Just some overpriced prepared foods.
The last stop, which was WAY too far from the rest of the tour, was some of the WORST pizza we've ever had! Come on now, a low-moisture mozzarella, spinach pizza with a crappy crust was CERTAINLY NOT what you'd expect to get when you think of a Chicago pizza! Plus, it's way TOO FAR of a walk. They should pick another pizza place in Old Town or take you back towards the Near North area where the tour begins.
They need to drop these last 2 stops and let you have 15 minutes to shop at each stop. They get you geeked up about the store and their products and then you are rushed off to the next stop.
As I said, good concept, however there is definite room for improvement. |

| Jessie was great. Handled herself very well when half the group shopped when asked not to in the beginningof the tour. We enjoyed everything and would not change a thing. |

| My friend and I had a fantastic time on our food tour. The guide was amazing- she knew so much about the city, and obviously loved her job and the city as well. The food was delicious- I was definitely full by the end of the tour. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is willing to do a bit of walking to see one of my favorite cities in the world! |

| My husband and I embarked on the food tour with high expectations and boy were they met and exceeded! We had such a wonderful time. In fact, it was the highlight of our trip. It really allowed us to see other areas around the city that we would never have seen on our own. We visited so many wonderful stores that we went back to afterwards! We have recommended this tour to our family and friends. When we return to Chicago we will surely check out the other food tour as well! Go on this tour..... you will not be disappointed! Happy tasting.... |
