| 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. |

| IT WOULD BE NICE TO END THE TOUR WHERE IT STARTS. WE PARKED AT THE BEGINNING AND HAD TO GET ANOTHER FORM OF TRANSFORMATION BACK TO OUR CAR.
WE THOUGHT WE WOULD BE GIVEN MORE FOOD SAMPLES.
OUR TOUR GUIDE WAS JENNIFER AND SHE WAS EXCELLENT AND VERY KNOWLEGABLE. |

| We live in the Chicago suburbs and had family in from out of town. They found this on the interent and sent it to me. I bought the tickets & we had a great time. We went back to all the stores and made purchases. We recommended it to all our family & friends. We are looking forward to you expanding to other areas of the city. We plan to attend next year when our family comes to visit! Our guide was very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. It was nice to meet the other people in our group. Keep up the good work!! |

| We did enjoy the tour on a lovely day. One shop owner was somewhat brusque with me when I purchased some small items, the Spice Shop in fact. Otherwise, the rest of the shops were fun and the food excellant. Really a fun walk, one I would recommend. |

| I took a group of 4 young women from my church group on the Near North Side Walking Tour. Our tour was on Oct. 11, 2009.
Although we all live in the South Suburbs of Chicago...none of us have been to these spots.
Everyone really enjoyed the tour. There was just enough time between walking and 'seeing'. The places we visited were great. There was only one thing that the ladies wanted, and that was to have time to shop! I'm not sure that this tour would make that possible however, maybe you could have a tour with less places and more shopping. At the Spice Shop they said that they would have rather looked at the spices more and not had the talk about cinnamon. But there were also some that felt that they learned a lot from the talk...so it is a draw. Our tour guide Kent was really good. He was considerate of the entire group, some were older than others! He also had quite a bit of knowledge of the stores and landmarks that we came in contact with. He spoke clearly and loud enough that we could all hear him. I will be taking our group on this tour again in the Spring.
I would suggest doing this type of thing in other neighborhoods as well! Great Job.

| For many years we have been traveling to Chicago to experience the "Big City" culture and food. We have enjoyed the plays, museums, eaten at many of the fine restaurants but , we wanted to experience something different. this trip.
We chose to stay in a Gold Coast hotel and when I saw the Near North Food Tasting and Cultlural Walking Tour on-line - I thought it would fit in perfectly with our plans and it did.
We thoughly enjoyed the quaint shops and the great food on the tour. Our guide was very informative and it was just not a walk from shop to shop, but an educational tour. Being from a small town in the mid-west it was great to feel the eating experience with the locals in their neighborhoods. |
