| I was able to see parts of Chicago that I would not have known about . Our guide was very personable and knowledgeable. The food was a pleasant bonus. I would highly recommend the tour and would do it again! |

| The Food Tasting and Neighborhood Tour was great fun. Shane, our tour guide, was exceptional. We learned a lot about the three neighborhoods that we visited and had some great tastes . I wish they would do other neighborhoods as well. I'd sign up for all of them!
My only complaint was that the Breadsmith was not a local, unique bakery. We have one in my suburb. |

| Sean was a great tour guide. There were only two of us so we could ask a lot of questions. The places we stopped had great food and presentations. We also enjoyed the history of the area that Sean gave us. We have enthusiastically recommended this to a number of our friends. |

Well worth the time

| The theme of our Chicago vacation this year was Shopping and Eating, and this was a good 3 hour combination of both. We enjoyed the variety of foods and food-related shops and went back to several of the shops after the tour to do some lingering shopping. We'll definitely go back to some of them again on future trips to Chicago.
The cultural aspects of the tour were interesting and make the long walk go by quickly. Shane's a good tour guide. |

| This walking tour is a great way to see parts of Chicago you won't find in the guide books. The food aspect was fun and delicious, but the walk was interesting and informative as well. I would definitely recommend this activity to anyone wanting to see more of the city besides the typical tourist sites, provided they enjoy walking. The tour takes several hours and you are on the go most of the time, so would be taxing for someone who does not walk much or is very out of shape. Shane is a great guide, and he makes the tour fun, as well as educational. |

| The tour had the perfect balance of food tasting, walking, and unique cultural information from the tour guide. We both were pleasantly full by the end of the tour, had acquired interesting knowledge on that area of Chicago, got a good 2 mile (leisurely) walk in, and are definitely recommending the tour to all of our friends/family! |

| We loved the walking tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the neighborhoods and the shops that we visited. The clerks at the shops were very friendly. And we loved the wide variety of sample foods.
One caveat: We knew ahead of time that the tour would not end where it began. BUT we had no idea how really far away it was to be. In our tour, we finished about 45 minutes away from where we started! PLUS we had to walk another 30-some minutes to get back to our parked car. By the end of the day we were VERY tired. It might be better if the tour could somehow be planned to end where it began. |
