| Having grown up in Chicago, I brought my wife to see the city. This tour was a great time, our guide Kate was terrific, and of course, the food....wonderful. I would highly recommend this tour if you like fun and historic Chicago. |

| This tour was comprised of a great combination of stores and restaurants - we learned a little something about different foods, spices and oils and got to sample everything too! Plus, we learned a little history about each of the neighborhoods we visited along the way - Gold Coast, Old Town and Lincoln Park. Our tour guide, Jennifer, was very energetic and knowledgable about the food we sampled and the history of the neighborhoods. Well worth it - even for a local like me!!! |

| The ONLY negative that I can say is that my wife liked the oil & spice shops so much that we went back and spent a bunch of $$. |

| Our guide, Jennifer, did a great job! My fiance and I enjoyed the tour very much! The weather on the day of our tour was terrible, but we still loved it... now that says a lot. |

| What a great concept and well executed as well. Nicky was a wonderful guide through the various neighbourhoods we visited. She demonstrated passion for the city and for the tour and all of the stops on it. For me, the tea and cheese store visits weren't the favourites but that's based on personal preference.
The attention to detail was very positive. Bringing water at various stops, providing a few opportunities to sit, stopping at various points of interest during the longer walk periods were all appreciated.
Well done! |

| We had a fun and informative tour which was a good introduction to some great neighborhoods. The specialty shops and restaurants were ones I'd not have discovered on my own. The group was friendly and the leader was interesting and knew a lot about food and also the points of interest as we walked along. I enjoyed the samples of foods, spices, tea, and other gourmet items. |

| Strongly recommend this tour if you are in Chicago for more than a few days. It gives you a great overview of the food and local specialities. They put a bit too much empathsis on the high cost food providers in the area, but it was well worth $40.00 tour fee. Lots of walking. |

| When they say the tour goes rain or shine, they aren't kidding. We did our tour during the rain from Gustav and it rained the entire day but it wasn't cold. There is plenty of walking but the stops are terrific and Emily was a great guide who knew a lot about the areas we walked through as well as the stops we made. I particularly enjoyed the Spice Market and Tom, the owner, who gave a great presentation on various cinnamons. The tea shop and oil store were also favorites of mine and I went retraced my steps (still in the rain) to make some purchases. I highly recommend the tour for some great shops and some interesting history of Chicago. |
