| Tour guide is extremely knowledgable about the city's culture and history. Food locales are well chosen, along an excellent route, and offer a variety of items to sample. |

| There wasn't a stop on this tour I didn't enjoy. Shane, our tour guide, was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about all of the food we tasted, and I just know I'll revisit every place where we stopped. Even though I'm a Chicagoan, everything I saw and learned gave me a new Chicago experience, and I would recommend this tour to any local who thinks they know everything about what Chicago has to offer. |

| The enthusiam, sense of humor and energy level of the tour guide was 80% of the tour. We had a great time. The fact that we walked quite a distance was offset by the fact that there would be FOOD at the next stop! Each stop was an adventure. Our guide kept everyone on their toes by his interactive repartee.
The description of the tour stated that we would be walking 3 miles and need to find our own transport back. We had arranged a car from the hotel to meet us in Old Town after we stopped for a drink, but another couple planned on walking back, they were already dead-tired and were afraid of getting lost. |

great time for all!

| I really enjoyed our tour. I have already been on many tours of Chicago but I learned even more - our guide was very informative. I enjoyed walking through the different parts of the city and seeing many of the neighborhoods and restaurants that I have read about or seen in the local news. I was not left hungry - there was plenty of food and it was all delicious! I did think that we would be having more " Chicago reknown" foods such as deep dish pizza , a Chicago style hot dog, frango and Elis - but it was not missed. It is a great tour for natives who may want to learn the city better. |

| Overall, the tour was great. We learned a lot about the neighborhoods as well as different types of food and drink. Great day and lots of walking. The only recommendation I would have is to bring a bottle of water with you. Thanks for the great day! |

| A very interesting activity. Shane our guide (think that was his name) was energetic, funny, and knowledgable about the places we visited and the foods we tasted. I have highly recommended this tour to my friends/family.
The only thing I would suggest would be to (if possible) include a food tasting with a little more protein/dairy at the start of the walk. Stopping at a cheese store/deli to sample some great cheeses and or salami's would be wonderful. I also would add maybe 5 - 10 minutes more to each stop. Felt a little rushed near the end of the tour. |

| Tour was good, well planned out and quite interesting. Very good guide. We are local but really like Chicago restaruants and food in general. Found some new places we will try, learned some new Chicago facts and had a good time.
My only issue is that there is not enough actual food. Half way through the tour all we had was one very small tasting, a beverage and a peice of candy. They were all good, but we came hungry. If not for the pizza towards the end we would have had to go out to lunch afterward. |
