| My husband and I had a wonderful time... The food choices were great, we had a good group of indiviudals on the tour as well... Everyone enjoyed the time together.
suggestion - Have a 4th location, be a local bar (piano, karoke) and end the night with a night cap with the group... those that want to continue can, those that don't can depart to other activities...Just a suggestion. |

| Nikki, our tour guide, was clear and informative about the sites and the foods she shared with us. We'd recommend the tour and would go back when they develop additional tours. |

| I have lived in Chicago for two years now and have not had much of a chance to explore much of the areas we toured. But now I have learned so much about local businesses, their history (as well as the history of the neighborhoods), and the bonus were the tastings. There was plenty to eat! I especially loved the sweeter foods. Delicious! Now that I know where everything is, and have tasted it before, I know I will not be disappointed when I go back! Hopefully there will be more tours like these to explore other neighborhoods in Chicago. My cousin loved the event as well and even bought a lot of items from the last establishment that we visited. |

| Enjoyed every aspect especially the independent merchants and the quality of their products and samples. The knowledge of the guide was extensive and we found that the tour is true to being off the beaten path. Therefore we felt that we had a taste of Chicago that was authentically neighbourhood based.
The walking was also a pleasure and fortunately we were not out on an extremely hot day. |

| Kent was a great tour guide. Humorous, informative and patient with a challenging group. (We were joined by a group of dependent adults.) He handled a couple of problems that cropped up with aplomb.
If I may suggest, it would perhaps be better to have disabled groups tour privately to accommodate them better. As a caregiver, I always appreciate having extra time.
My elderly mother, 10-year-old son and myself enjoyed ourselves immensely. Only wish we'd been staying closer to that neighborhood so we could have taken advantage of the coupons and our new found knowledge.

| We enjoyed the history and local factoids provided, good pace and amount of town covered, nice variety and choices of stops, did not care for the plug for tips at the start of the tour. |

The only tour we needed in Chicago!

| Our leader, Kate, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She showed us many of the landmarks that we would have seen on a strict sightseeing tour. I especially enjoyed the pizza place and the oil and vinegar store. We loved the guy from the pizza restaurant. He was so very entertaining. We came home to Louisiana and ordered tea and oil and vinegar and will order from the spice store as well. It would have been nice, at the end of the tour, to have an order form for the items we saw in the stores and, for a fee, could have them delivered to our hotel or home. People would have been much more likely to purchase. |

| This tour is a fantastic way to see "inside" Chicago. I loved learning about each of the shops we visited and the care they all took to be sure we enjoyed our day. Our tour guide was a natural - and she showed her enthusiasm of the city and the places we visited. Learning about the architecture and history of the area was exceptional. I can't wait to come back and re-visit some of the shops on the list!!! |
