| I was visiting my brother and cousin in Chicago for the first time, and we thought to do the Chicago Food Tours to kill some time on a Sunday afternoon. I was there for the weekend and the food tours was by far the most exciting and best event for the weekend. Not only was it a food tour, but we also got a historical tour of the city and did a little walking through Gold Coast, Old Town, and Lincoln Park. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and I would highly recommend it for visitors as well as natives of the city. It is a MUST DO EVENT! Very cheap and affordable too. |

| My wife and I wanted to experience Chicago in a way that you don't normally do. We had been to Chicago before and stayed mainly on the Magnificent Mile and Navy Pier, this time we wanted something different. The tour was very enjoyable with the facts about different Archtectures, eating establishment and the information we found out about different teas, chocolates, spieces, oils and vinegars. This was just want we had asked for and our tour guide (Shane) was very good. The three hour tour did not seem like it took that long. We will recommend this to our friends. |

| Highly recommended. A chance to see some neighborhoods and taste some food that we never would have had as tourists in Chicago. Very friendly and fun tour guides-- our guide was being observed by another guide and it was clear that they had a good system of "quality control" to ensure that the guides were all professional and well-informed. I'd bet that many Chicago natives would also enjoy the tour! |

| My 17 year old picked this tour and I went along. I had fun the whole tour. The guide gave us architectural facts along the tour that were as much fun as the shops we stopped in. Chicago history facts were also great. The surprise stop in front of the old Playboy Mansion was a highlight. The shops were selected with care to be unique. I won't tell you them so they can be a surprise. The ONLY thing wrong was the directions using the Elevated to get back to were we started the tour. It said Clark & Fullerton instead of Clark & Diversey. OOP's.
I would recommend this tour and the fun people who run it to anyone that can walk a couple miles. |

| We really enjoyed the fact that the tour covered interesting details about the Chicago neighborhoods we visited, unexpected facts about the food items, and plenty of sampling. The tour guide was excellent, clearly showing that she was an enthusiastic native. She continually checked to make sure everyone was happy with the pace of the tour, and we never felt rushed. We would recommend this tour to others! |

Thanks!

| My wife and I enjoyed this tour a lot. From the history of the city to the tour of some off the beaten path of some places, it was great. Our guide Jennifer was helpful, happy, and very patient with our group. I have already recommended it to friends and will continue to do so.

| We went on the tour based solely on the reviews. And what a great decision we made! The places we stopped at were incredibly diverse and noteworthy. And our tour guide, Nikki, was just great. She talked about many of the places that we passed and had a wonderful knowledge of the history and detail of each place. The handout was received very informative with many recommendations of places that were near our route. We even returned to several of the stops on the tour and purchased several of their products. We hope that new tours of other parts of Chicago eventually come together. We will definitely be one of the first. I would very highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for something to do in Chicago. It is a first rate experience. |
