| My family and I had a GREAT time on this tour! The guide was informative, funny, and very amicable, and the food was delicious -- even the things we thought would be questionable! Who knew oil could be so tasty? I'd recommend this trip for anyone who'd like an introduction to Chicago that's a little off the beaten path. |

| We heard about this from a friend and we started reading the reviews online. We read positive and negative reviews, but overall we were intrigued by the "Taste of Chicago" and decided to go ahead and book the tour. We met at the starting location and were met by Nikki our tour guide. We were so excited because all of the reviews that we read about Nikki were wonderful. The tour took us through 3 neighborhoods, all unique in their own way. We tasted several different kinds of foods, all were great. Surprising enough, the olive oil and vinegar tasting was our favorite! Along the way Nikki told us interesting facts about the food, buildings, and neighborhoods along the tour route. It was so interesting to learn about the city in this way. We HIGHLY recommend that you do this tour early in your visit to Chicago, that way you can go back to the neighborhoods and stores. This tour really helped us to feel comfortable in the city. We do warn that this tour is a lot of walking, but it is at a slow even pace, totally manageable. We were tired at the end, but not so much that it left a negative impact on us, we even went to the Sears Tower after the tour. We read in the reviews that you are hungry after the tour, we did not experience this in the least, we were very satisfied! Go on this tour and have fun, we did!! And try to get Nikki as your tour guide, she's the best. We do recommend checking the weather forecast before you book the tour, we did this and the day we picked was absolutely beautiful, the best of the week. |

| My husband and I started out trip to Chicago with this tour. It was the best thing we could have done! It gave us several ideas for places to go during our time in the city. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The tastings opened our eyes to looking at foods in a different way. I definitely recommend taking this tour!! |

| My wife and I took the Chicago Food Tasting and Cultural Walking Tour on a cool, rainey, blustery day. In spite of this it was a totally enjoyable experience. The guide was upbeat, gracious and informative, as were the people at the food establishments where we stopped. We highly recommend the tour. |

| Shane was our tour guide on this beautiful day in Chicago. We had a girl's weekend and this was one of the hightlights of our trip. Although we had been to Chicago many times, this tour was in an area of town we had never been to. Shane was very personable and gave great information about the architecture of the area as well as the shops we went into. We all loved it, and would highly reccommend it to anyone visiting Chicago. |

| Our group ranged in age from 28 to 51 and were all women from northwest Indiana.
We all enjoyed the tour. We were afraid we would be hungry during the tour so we ate beforehand. We could have gone without the meal prior to the tour as there was plenty of food along the way for us. Was amazed at the homes shown during the tour. Have been many times to Chicago but this was certainly a different side we had never experienced. The guide was knowledgable and fun. |
