| Nickie (the guide) was very informative and provided alot of insight into the different areas and restaurants that we visited. Perhaps some additional ethnic restaurants or additional tours might be worthwhile in future. Overall, my wife and I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone visiting Chicago. As a closing thought....we have traveled quite extensively and Chicago is definitely one of the best cities we have been to. |

| We took this tour and had no idea what to expect . By the time we were done we had aleready planned out which shops to return to and how often we would be coming back to our new favorite shops. The tour also showed us some of the wondeful neighborhoods in Chicago. I say take the tour and see the parts of Chicago they do not tell you about. This tour only reinforced the magical feelings we get whenever we go to Chicago. |

| Touring the tea house, spice shop and oil/vinegar shop were the three highlights of the food portion on this tour. The pairing of Chicago history while strolling through Lincoln Park, Olde Towne, the Gold Coast, etc. made the tour far superior to just a "Food tour". Our guide was a pleasure and kept the group moving when required. My wife and I would recommend this tour to anyone. Have a good breakfast that morning and wear comfortable shoes. Enjoy! |

| I liked that the website description matched what we got - food samples, seeing the neighborhood, and learning about everything along the way. Rather than going straight back to where we parked afterwards, we retraced our path and made several purchases. Thanks again, it was one of the highlights of our vacation. |

Great Tour but want more food

| Loved the chance to walk through some of the Chicago neighborhoods. Shane was very informed and obviously into his job on explaining Chicago to the group. My one area for improvement would be to beef up the food offerings. I did a similar tour in Greenwich Village a few years ago and we had samples of pizza, a gyro, part of a deli sandwich, pastries (cannoli). The food we had on the Chicago tour was good, but it would have been nice to have a little more. That said, loved the oil/vinegar place and the the two shops where we had chocolate. I would recommend the tour to friends going to Chicago. |

| I'd recommend this tour to anyone visiting Chicago or even living in Chicago! While on this walking tour you get exposed to various foods and interesting shops all while getting historical background on the city and buildings.
The tour guide, food, information, architecture, and walk were all great! |
