| Although our guide needed to learn to limit his use of the word "awesome," the tour was still a great experience. The tour is a blend of local history and Chicago food combined general "foodie" tidbits that were fascinating - the history of the spice trade, where chocolatiers get their chocolate from, etc. Lots of fun! |

| Loved it!! Would definetely recommend it for all ages. Our tour guide was excellent. Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I think her name was Jenn. The pace was great...had plenty of time to sample and didn't have to wait for people to shop. So much fun!! We had a pretty diverse group and a fine time was had by all. The shops were very diverse and the food was very tasty.... |

| Kate, our guide was fantastic. We tasted our way through a jewish deli, tea shop, spice store, oil and vinegar specialty vendor, fudge maker, heart healthy chicago style pizza and ended at a chocolate lounge. Along the way Kate entertained us with stories about the local architecture and parks. This was an easy walk on a gorgeous day.
I would love to see more of these types of tours that might include only local foods like the chicago style hot dog, chicago style pizza and other foods somewhat unique to Chicago. I wouldn't mind going on a tour of the ethnic neighborhoods as well. This was a terrific intro to the variety of foods available in a lovely area of Chicago. |

| This tour is a fascinating way to see a few neighbourhoods that you would not normally get to visit as a tourist. It is a combination of food tasting and guided walking tour in an interesting neibourhood. Our guide was dynamic and knowledgeable, both about the food and the area we visited. The stores we visited were mostly interesting, in particular the tea store and the oil store. There was also an intriguing spice store. We were 10 or 12 which was a good size with a good mix of engaging people. It is a long walk, especially if you walk back to revisit some of the stores to make a few purchases, so you need to be in reasonable shape and wear comfortable shoes. |

| Well worth every cent. There wasn't a single part we didn't enjoy. And it was a great balance between learning about the city, enjoying some interesting tastings and eating great food. |

| The tour was the highlight of our trip. It was blistering hot that day but you can't control the weather ! I would ( and have ) recommended it to all of our friends. I teach a cooking class and will also recommend it to my classes too.

| Loved the walking food tour that I was on. I got to see parts of Chicago I otherwise wouldn't have and sample some of the most delicious foods that Chicago brags about. Our tour guide was enthusiastic, informative, very helpful and friendly. A great experience that I would highly recommend when in Chicago. |
