| The best part of the tour was our guide, Carolyn. She shared a lot of architectural information along the way, which helped our long walk go by faster. I would not recommend the catering and chocolate place, though. And I wish there were more stops on the way from the oil stop to the pizza stop, too long! |

great from beginning to end!!!

| Shane was a great tour guide. Learned alot of interesting facts about Chicago and got to see areas we wouldn't have otherwise. Our group had a native Chicagon(?), who said she had a great time and learned alot.
the tour would have been great with or without the food.....The food added a little something extra, but I am not sure it would have been terribly missed.
I will definately look for something like this in any city I visit in the future. It is a great way to see the sights, and learn something along the way. |

| I fly to Chicago regularly (every 3-6 months) and have done all the museums over and over. So this last trip I came across this tour on-line and wound up having a great time!! I was lucky to be in a small tour group and found the intimacy a great advantage. I would highly recommend this to do with friends looking to try something cool and trendy!! |

| I have visited Chicago many times in the past. I learned more about Chicago and some of its neighborhoods on this tour than I have on all my trips to the area combined. Our tour guide Arianna, was energetic, articulate and very knowledgeable. She made the trip enjoyable and interesting. I love the combination of food, exercise and information - it made for a very enjoyable day. |

| Enjoyed the tour and the walking pace was perfect to site see but keep moving. The Spice store with the presentation from Michael Erb was excellent. Did not care for the pizza. Know it was suppose to be the"best" but truthfully have had better.
Our tour guide was friendly and informative. |

| This was a great way to truly experience some of the local culture Chicago has to offer. Living in the area I learned new things and experienced places off the beaten path we normally travel. Highly recommend this to both visitors and locals. |

| My husband and I are former Suburban Chicagoans, now living in Virginia, visiting my mother in a nursing home. We really enjoyed this unique tour. We saw parts of Chicago that we have not enjoyed before. We learned much. And, of course, we enjoyed tasty samples. We learned about, blintzes, teas, oils, vinegars, spices, chocolates, and spinach pizza. It was a lively quick paced tour. That's a good thing. A great walk on a beautiful day! We had a great time!
I emailed some of the sites offering coupons. TeaGschwendner, The Spice House, and Old Town Oil say they will honor their coupons. Ethel's chocolate lounge will not. The Fudge Pot website was down.

| The tour leader was very knowledgeable about the entire tour and was able to answer all questions. The food samples, while small in proportion, were enough to fill me up for lunch. Great tour of the city. |

| I highly recommend this tour. My wife and I enjoyed the tour very much. The guide, Niki, was up beat, energetic and very knowledgeable about all the neighborhoods. She did an excellent job of interacting with everyone and keeping the tour interesting. I am looking forward to going back to some of the places we visited. |
