| I really had a great time. We did a lot of walking but it wasn't too much and the pace was good. I didn't feel rushed and had plenty of time to look at sights and look around the stores.
The only minor thing that was a little bit of an issue is that I was planning on the tour only being from 11 - 2 and we ran 30 minutes past 2. I had another engagement at 3, and was worried that I wouldn't make it. That said, I wouldn't change anything about the tour it was definitely worth it. Next time I will plan on a bigger gap of time between activities. |

| I have visited Chicago many times but this tour really made it special. The area we traveled and the stores visited, were the best. I know when we come back I will seek out these stores. The guide was excellent and knowledgeable. I would recommend this to anyone. |

| I was traveling to Chicago on business and spent a few days downtown doing what any tourist visiting Chicago for the first time would do; Millennium Park, John Hancock Observatory, Museums, etc. There were a few tours (i.e. the Architectural Boat Tour) I would have liked to have taken but my time ran out. I did however book Chicago Food Planet's food tour. It was AMAZING! The places we stopped were interesting, neighborhoods we walked through were great and it more than tickled my taste buds! Upon returning to my office in Atlanta, I recommended it as a "Must See" for anyone going up. Another interesting note, 75% of the attendees were Chicago natives. They seemed to be enjoying themselves as well!
For anyone who loves to cook or just want's to see a local's perspective of Chicago, this food tour hits the mark! |

| I really enjoyed this tour. They give you some history and architecture on the tour. Everything I sampled was excellent. However, you will not be given any time to buy items at the shops where you stop. I believe that was the only drawback. I understand the time constraint, but I would have been happy extending the tour by an hour or two so I could buy some items. Be prepared to walk! |

| If you are like me, and normally do not enjoy tours, I highly recommend this one. The groups are small and the tour guides are personable and engaging. Walking around, I did not feel like a tourist, only a local walking with a group of friends. All the samples offered were fantastic. Make sure you bring an empty stomach, the portion sizes are huge and a great value for what you pay. |

| This was a wonderful tour of many places I never would have known were there, and boy would I be missing out. The tour guide was engaging, enthusiastic, and a pleasure to be around - a true food lover, and very imformative too! I really enjoyed the unique stops and walking through the city learning about some of the buildings we passed along the way. A unique highlight was an unexpected invitation to see the inside of a random passer-by's home in one of those splendidly made buildings we had been talking about. I highly recommend this tour, it is well worth the money and the time. |
