| My wife and I really enjoyed this tour. The locations of the eateries and quality of food were superb. However, the tour ran an hour over of the scheduled time and we had to run out at the end to make prior plans. We highly recommend but be prepared to stay longer then the agenda states. |

| This tour was a great way to hit several birds with one stone: try out Chicago foods, visit several residential neighborhoods and support local businesses. There was a lot of walking but the best treat was the pizza and the chocolate at the end. Our tour guide (12 noon tour, 8/31) was very friendly, personable and knowledgeable. |

| Great tour guide and tour. Enjoyed the history and culture of the city as much as the food. Only disappointment was that it was promoted as more local ethnic eateries but 3 of the stops were for chocolate and others were specialty shops that were not based on any old neighborhood history. Still all was good. Many amazing food and tastes that we will long remember. |

| This is the second time I attended the tour as a work outing. Everyone loved it - including one of my employees who was bit by a dog as we were walking. BTW, the dog's owner gave us bogus info so there was no recourse with the police. Thankfully, the victim wasn't injured badly and is on the mend. I would recommend getting a driver's license from the pet owner should it happen again (God forbid).
Thanks for a great day out! |

| I wish we would have went on the first day in town because we didn't get a chance to go back to all the shops and cool places we passed along the way. We did our tour on the last day and we had a plane to catch. It was really fun and a great way to see neighborhoods that are not tourist traps. The food was great and the local merchants were pleasant and willingly to share their crafts. I highly recommend doing this tour. |

| I liked trying all the different kinds of foods and products. I think we should have spent LESS time though talking and discussing the housing and prices. I think the 3 hour stretch could have been lessened into about 2 hours if we walked at a steady pace and did not stop for stragglers. I thought it was a great experience for the whole grroup though. Ethel's chocolate lounge was my favorite. |
