| I enjoyed hearing the history of the different neighborhoods that we passed through and seeing the different types of architecture.
I was definitely full after completing the tour. There was plenty to eat and seconds and even thirds were encouraged.
I liked the variety of the places we visited. I found the oil & vinegar stop the most interesting as I had never seen so many different kinds of oils and flavored vinegars. I made sure to stop back there after the tour to make a purchase. I also really enjoyed the PB&J chocolates at the last stop. I picked up some of those to take home as well.
Our guide was very friendly and seemed especially knowledgable. I was surprised to discover that she had only been doing the tour for about a month.
I would highly recommend this tour to family or friends when visiting Chicago and I will search out similiar tours when visiting other destinations in the future. |

| Our tour was very relaxing, lots of time to chat as we walked, everyone enjoyed it. I went back to the Spice and Tea and Oil , and Ethels stores and purchased several hundred dollars in merchandise. The architectual points were really interesting and I felt I received an orientation to the neighborhoods, of gold coast, and old town that I would never have achieved walking alone even if I found the shops. The walking part was great too. |

| We had a most enjoyable experience walking around so many lovely neighborhoods and enjoying the delicious foods. Our guide Jennifer was delightful and pointed out many architecural sights and explained the various neighborhoods and their specialized foods. We never could have done this tour by ourselves. Definitely worth the the price. |

| This tour was wonderful. We had a small group -- only seven on the tour -- and our guide was great. She was informative and fun. Most of the group were in their 20's with a 50/50 mix of Chicagoans and visitors. The highlights for everyone were the specialty olive oil and balsamic vinegar shop and the spice shop. The chocolates and pizza were good too. |

| This walk tour is just a great way to walk through the streets and alleys of Chicago. We get to walk streets I would not have found, taste food that I would not have tasted and hear stories I would not have otherwise heard. The pace of the tour was great - no rushing at all. I have lots of time to take photos too.
Nicky our tour guide was all-knowledgeable and patient. She is very friendly. She knows her stuff - including the spice and teas.
Overall, a very fun walk and my daughter Rosalyn mentioned that this is the the highlight of our week long in your beautiful city.
Thank you. |

| I had a great time on the tour. My guide was very knowledgable and friendly too! I enjoyed seeing a few neighborhoods I would not have probably ventured to on my own given my time constraints. I was in Chicago for business purposes and only for 3 days. |

| The weather did not completely cooperate, but the tour was great. I would highly recommend it. By walking you see many parts of Chicage you would otherwise miss. The planned stops are all unique stores and independently owned. Returned to many of the stores for personal purchases as well as great gifts. |

| I booked this tour because it was something I knew I would like. Most of the folks that went in our group (of 6) didn't do as much cooking or baking as I did so, I wasn't sure if they would enjoy it as much as. As it turned out we spend all of our day retracing our steps going back to stores we saw or eating at recommended restaurants during the rest of our stay in Chicago. Our entire group got into the history and food as much, if not more than I did. Our tour guide was friendly and kept us off the beaten path. It was the best part of our time in Chicago. Do note though they say for all fitness types, but the tour was not for those who can't stand for at least 3 hours or walk at a brisk pace for that period of time. |
