A Foodie's Delight

| The walk through Gold Coast, Old Town and Lincoln Park neighborhoods, stopping for tastings at a variety of places, including a deli, a tea shop, a spice shop, a shop selling oils and vinegars, several chocolate places and a stuffed pizza place was terrific! It is an easy walk, and we learned about the neighborhoods as we passed through. At each stop, someone explained what they sold/made and gave us samples. It was a perfect way for a food lover to spend about 3 hours and learn about Chicago's food scene. Our guide, Nicky, was delightful, and our group was very congenial. I'm told they are adding a new tour and I will certainly try that when I'm back in Chicago. I'd highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in food. And, in the course of the tour, we ended up having a nice lunch by the bite. |

| I thought this Tasting and Cultural Tour was one of the best things to do in Chicago.
I got to see some of the city during the walk. Learned the difference between stuffed and deep dish pizza (which was outstanding). Our guide was enthusiastic, the group was small enough for us to enjoy the places we went. It was well organized. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to get the flavor of the city.
In fact now when I go to other large cities I hope they have this kind of event. |

| I think you should have cookies with the Tea House, little pieces of bread at the Oil & Vineger shop and at the spice shop can't think of anything but there has to be something other than that it was a perfect time spent. Meet people from different states and had a great time with a great group of people. Jennifer was a great tour guide. |

| Jennifer was a delight and added much skill and knowledge to our walk. We loved the stops, the shops, and the local insight. It was obvious that Jennifer loves Chicago. I would recommend this tour to anyone. I understand the time constraints, but it would have been fun to buy things. |

| We enjoyed the tour as well as the weather could allow. Being a return guest I felt it was somewhat shorted do to weather conditions. Each guide has had their own style but interesting enough. I am taking a tour in NYC in October with a group of 15 ladies so I am ready to enjoy another location Barb |

| We had a great time even though it downpoured most of the time.
Our tour guild, Katie, was fantastic.
The stops were very interesting and we would have enjoyed spending more time at each and probably will go back to most and do so.
Our group seemed to especially enjoy the Oil and Vinegar Store. I agree with them but also really liked several of the other stops as well.
My wife and I greatly enjoyed the experience and will take the new "Bucktown" tour soon. We are telling our friends and family about the tours also.
Thanks,

| This was a great tour, covering a couple of wonderful Chicago neighborhoods with lots of cultural and history. The food stops were very good. The guide was very knowledgeable and pointed out some architectural facts also. The only thing that would have made this tour better was if it wasn't raining at the time!
I only wish we would have had at least five minutes at each stop to do a little shopping. |

| We really enjoyed the tour and felt like we got two tours in one. It was not just a culinary walking tour, but also included interesting facts and history about areas of Chicago. The tour guide Kate did such a great job and everyone in our group was glad we choose this event. I was most definitely a tourist in my own city and learned about some great new places I never knew about. I would recommend this to others, especially visitors to Chicago! |
