| This was a fun way to see Chicago and learn about some of the city's history. The food tasting was fun although I would have liked to have seen more Chicago specific foods (hotdogs, barbeque, etc).. Loved the oil and spice shops though. Lots of walking and if you want to purchase something you'll have to walk back to the store after the tour.. We did this only because we were leaving the next day and wanted to buy a few things but it was really a lot of walking for one day. Would like to have a little extra time to buy products while we were in the stores. |

| A wonderful way to see a city...learning about the history of different neighbourhoods on foot and eating along the way...There were 7 family members (husbands and wives) along with others from all over the world..we all had the same passion..... FOOD...Our tour guide was fabulous..very informed and definitely loved what she was doing..certainly proud of her Chicago...Definitely want to do another.....We've done 3 such tours now....N.Y., Chicago and Seattle...Loved them all....

| It was my second time on the walking tour, and I would go a third! I like the neighborhoods, the food, the parks, the history and information. Jenn was a great tour guide. It is a nice way to do something different in the city. You get the whole tourist experience and some great food!
I liked the pizza place better,(the the previous) and the olive oil shop was really neat. There was only one problem, when we got finished (Sunday) and walked back down, the shops were closed, so we didn't get to do any shopping.
Maybe think about making the children be at least 8-10 years old. |

| The restaurants we visited were interesting and so was the info on the neighborhoods. Our tour guide (a young man) was fun and knowledgeable. My wife uses a wheelchair and could not get into two of the seven places we went to. A little disappointing but the tour guide brought out samples for us to try. Very nice of him. We would recommend the tour. |

| our guide was very pleasant woman , with and incredible energy and enthusiasm, also interesting and nice .she gave us a lot of explanations. it was a very good idea to make this tour in a beautiful surrounding like chicago gold coast. Th fooding tour was interesting and pleasant . May be to organize tour a little bit more expensive but with highest quality , or diversity ( chicago specialties ) ; but we are french foodies so may be we ask a lot ;-))
thank's a lot for this tour +++++ |

| We have a condo in the Gold Coast but decided to be tourists in our own town. It was wonderful. The group was charming--children, singles, everyone had a great time-- the guide was wonderful, the food was delicious, the information was captivating. There are not enough words to describe how much we enjoyed ourselves. We would recommend this outing to any and everyone. |

| This tour was really good. My sister, daughter and I all enjoyed it enormously. The speciality food shops were interesting to see and it was good to be taken to places a bit off the beaten track, which we normally wouldn't have gone to. The Oil Tree shop and Spice Shop I particularly liked and, of course, the Fudge Shop! I liked the fact that these were mainly traditional family based businesses, using fresh and/or local produce. We went back the same day and bought some tangerine oil and some spices and, of course, chocolate!
Our guide, Ariana, was lovely - very pleasant and informative, telling us lots of interesting stories. Ariana - sorry we missed you at the end of the tour - we were so busy enjoying the lovely pizza that you had already gone by the time we left. Keep up the good work! |
