| My wife and I really enjoyed this tour. The locations of the eateries and quality of food were superb. However, the tour ran an hour over of the scheduled time and we had to run out at the end to make prior plans. We highly recommend but be prepared to stay longer then the agenda states. |

Great way to see the neighborhood

| The tasting tour was a great way to see Chicago's neighborhoods, particularly those outside of the downtown area. The guide takes you through various neighborhoods passing by Lincoln Park, Eclectic Row, Old Town, and Oz Park as well as various eating establishments in and near those areas. We most likely would not have visited these neighborhoods on our own. It was most definitely worthwhile and a great way to spend the afternoon. |

| Great tour guide and tour. Enjoyed the history and culture of the city as much as the food. Only disappointment was that it was promoted as more local ethnic eateries but 3 of the stops were for chocolate and others were specialty shops that were not based on any old neighborhood history. Still all was good. Many amazing food and tastes that we will long remember. |

| I thoroughly enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it to anyone at the beginning of your trip in Chicago. Our tour guide, Kent, was especially helpful and knowledgeable about details of this great city. I thought the amount of food provided was adequate. I ate breakfast around 9 am and was not hungry after the tour ended around 2:30 pm. Lots of walking, but with 2 rest stops I was fine. By the last stop I was ready for a rest, so the timing was just right. If I could change anything, I would suggest one less chocolate vendor. There were 3 and it would have been nice to have something else. It was a great way to get a feel for the city, it's history and of course, the food.! |

| This is the second time I attended the tour as a work outing. Everyone loved it - including one of my employees who was bit by a dog as we were walking. BTW, the dog's owner gave us bogus info so there was no recourse with the police. Thankfully, the victim wasn't injured badly and is on the mend. I would recommend getting a driver's license from the pet owner should it happen again (God forbid).
Thanks for a great day out! |

| Our group of seven was mothers and their daughters whose ages ranged from 26-60. We had a blast and absolutely loved the tour! We learned a lot about the city and found ourselves returning numerous times to the food establishments we visited and were recommended. Our guide was awesome too! She was tons of fun and very knowlegeable. I'd definitely recommend this tour to my friends or other relatives who didn't get to come this time. |

| The tour was a pleasant walking experience with guide pointing out buildings of interest, however it is a mistake to call it a food tasting tour. Starting a tour at 11:00a.m. with a half a greasy potato pancake is a mistake. Ashkenaz Deli had other items that would have been more appropriate like some pastry. If someone is expecting wonderrful tastings from great resturants this is not the tour for them. Since I live in the Chicago area I expected a different experience and was disappointed but I guess if your from Kansas you loved it. |

| I really had a great time. We did a lot of walking but it wasn't too much and the pace was good. I didn't feel rushed and had plenty of time to look at sights and look around the stores.
The only minor thing that was a little bit of an issue is that I was planning on the tour only being from 11 - 2 and we ran 30 minutes past 2. I had another engagement at 3, and was worried that I wouldn't make it. That said, I wouldn't change anything about the tour it was definitely worth it. Next time I will plan on a bigger gap of time between activities. |
