| The cultural food tour was definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Chicago. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, funny and was extremely helpful in planning the rest of our vacation. (After our tour was over .. Above and beyond his call of duty.) We even went back to one of the recommended restaurants for dinner the following night. I would highly recommend the tour to anyone who enjoys different foods, and I will be looking tours to attend in other cities. Thanks for a wonderful experience! |

| My group thoroughly enjoyed your tour! We loved the uniqueness of the shops visited, as well as the educational component with the neighborhoods. Very well planned out with drinks and restroom breaks. Our guide, Jennifer, was very very good and really seemed to enjoy her job. We have already recommended this activity to several friends, and would be very interested if you decide to offer another one in a different neighborhood, ie Little Italy or Greektown, or Wrigleyville? |

| The experience turned out better that we expected. The knowledgeable and friendly tour guide not only provided interesting information at each food stop, but also included history and facts about the neighborhoods we visited. We highly recommend this tour for locals as well as out of towners! |

| This was a great activity for a group of friends. We got some exercise, indulged in some food, were able to chat and catch up with friends along the way. Our guide, Jennifer, was friendly and knowledgeable about the area (this is the opinion of a local!). She never rushed us along and entertained us as we went. I'd love to do another tour like this in the future - whether it be in another city or a different one in Chicago. |

| We very much enjoyed our tour. Old Town was a special experience and we probably would have missed it had we not booked the tour. We are enjoying the gourmet items at home that we purchased on the tour (thanks for the Food Tour discount coupons).Unfortunately we had to cut our tour a bit short due to an earlier sprained ankle (the walk is about a mile and a half) very enjoyable.
Would do the tour again next time in Chicago. |

| The Chicago Food Planet Food Tour was one of the most fun activities we have done in a long time, and I would highly recommend it to others looking for a delightful way to spend an afternoon getting to know Chicago better. Our guide Emily provided us with much entertaining and knowledgeble information about the geographic area, the buildings we passed, the history of the area, and the fun things to do in that area. In addition, the businesses/restaurants we stopped at were very accomodating and the "tastes" we had at each one were great. We will definitely go back to many of these places in the future. |

| This was a great experience for my husband and I because the places the tour took us we would have never gone into on our own -- especially the spice shop and the oil and vinegar shop. It was neat trying all the samples and it opened my eyes to new foods! |

| Really enjoyed the tour--it was informative, and showed us a side of Chicago we probably never would have seen otherwise. Each stop on the tour was unique. the tour went very smoothly at each stop as well. Very well organized. Great tour guide. |

| What a fantastic day, fantastic guide, and great info about the Chicago neighborhoods. Most visitors assume that the Magnificant Mile is all that Chicago has to offer, but this tour is so informative and eye opening to so many other areas. Great insider info and great food! Who knew!!! |
