| ...we only stayed in Chicago for one night and one full day. It was interesting to learn about the area, it was a LOT of walking, so you have to be in decent shape. The tour was approximately 3 hours long, we visited 6 or 7 shops, which you couldn't buy anything on the tour, so we had to go back after. Which took another 2 hours. If you're only going to be in Chicago a short time, I probably would not recommend it. If you're there for a few days...than it would be GREAT! Our guide was fun and it was cool to see the "more quaint" side of Chicago (which I did not know existed). |

| I stumbled across this tour as I was searching the net for Chicago activities and things to do during the afternoon on a weekday. My husband and I were more than surprised to discover this experience to be extremely delightful! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area, and she provided information that was both factual and fun. We loved the wide choices of restaurants and shops on our tour and the food tasting was delicious! I particularly enjoyed learning about the architecture and history of the buildings and neighborhoods as we walked. It was well worth the money and time, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who likes this type of experience! |

| Don't miss out on this one. Mind you, you have to walk but that allowed us to stop at many different places for a little bit of history. We even backtracked to visit the stores a second time. The food and the history made for a wonderful experience. Our guide, Nikki, was excellent. |

| The tour guide was very enthusiastic. We loved some of the placesbut were under the impression we would sit down a little more. My group was seniors and we would have liked to sit and listen and eat. We throught more food could have provided at each place like hors d'oeuvres. So we were a little disappointed in that. We felt it was worth $24.00 not $44.00. And it was a little too much walking for a person with an artificial hip. We all walk alot but I guess because there was no sitting we had a bad time. Could provide more restrooms stops also. |

| Read about this tour online and decided to book a session during my trip in Chicago. The information that was provided on the tour was very interesting, and the presentations done at each of the eatery's along the way made the tour even more entertaining. Our tour guide (Carloine?) was also very upbeat and knowledgeable.
Great tour overall. |

| You definitely have a good thing going with the food tour, and it seems all agree. Jessie turned the afternoon into a small adventure for our min-group of 4 with her charming personality. This tour doesn't feel like it lasted 3 hours at all as we remained curious throughout and really enjoyed learning so much about Chicago/Old Town and its unique variety of food stores and historic significance. |
