| 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!

| I really liked this tour. I didn't know what to expect. I am an avid walker and this was so much fun. I was able to see neighborhoods in Chicago I had never been to.
The guide was informative and funny.
After it was over we were able to use coupons provided and went back and bought some of the things we tried on the walk.
The tea shop was great.
Thanks. |

| The tour was informational as well as a lot of fun. The food tastings were good. It did require more walking than I expected, and with the warm weather that day, I and my friends were tired and sweaty at the end. Our guide was informed and entertaining.

| We really enjoyed ourselves on the tasting tour. Our tour guides Shane and Troy were fantastic- very informative and fun. Not being originally from Chicago, this was a great way to see parts of the city we have never really explored. Thanks for a fun day! |

| The tour was excellent. I was impressed by the guide's knowledge of the city and the food was fantastic. There was plenty to fill us up, especially the pizza. An all around great way to spend a sunny afternoon in Chicago. |

| Our tour on a hot July day was delightful. We were able to see some out-of-the-way restaurants that we would not have seen otherwise, and as we walked from place to place wandered through a terrific part of the city. Our tour guide, Tad, was engaging (and knew a lot of stuff) and walked us past some of our city's treasures. I would love to have a map that showed exactly the path we took. |

| We enjoyed the tour - it was an interesting way to see inside some of the neighborhoods in Chicago and sample some food from popular shops/restaurants within those neighborhoods. The tour guide highlighted some of the architecture and landmarks as we walked each neighborhood. Alot of fun and a great way to see the city from a different perspective. |

| Even though we live in a suburb of Chicago and frequently visit Chicago, we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. We learned new tidbits about the city and enjoyed restaurants that were "new" to us. The food was delicious and we had plenty to eat. Nicky, our tour guide, was energetic and very friendly. |

| The Chicago food tour was great. It blended Chicago's culture and architecture with great food. They provided a nice variety and the samples were plentiful. The store employees/owners were very accommodating. Our guide, Nikki was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The only thing I would change is the fact that the ending location differs from the starting location. It was no problem for me, but I could see out of town people being a bit intimidated. But our guide was able to provide detailed directions (with different options) on how to go wherever you need. Definitely worth it! I wish they would offer more tours! |
