| This was a great tour that everyone enjoyed. We had delicious food samples
and learned about various areas of Chicago. Our tour guide was fabulous --
enthusiastic and able to answer all of our questions. There is a lot of fast
walking, so be prepared -- not recommended for those who have a hard
time keeping up -- you cover a lot of ground. |

| Our tour guide was amazing! We learned so much more than just information about great food in Chicago. We also learned some awesome historical facts and about some interesting architecture tidbits. The food tasting was also fantastic. My favorite was The Fudge Pot. Amazing! |

| This was a great way to get to know an interesting area of Chicago. The total walk felt like 2 miles although with all the stops, it was not tiring at all. The restaurants and stores we visited received us enthusiastically and clearly had a good relationship with the tour operators so it made the visits fun and interesting.
The tour guide, Ariana was fun and knowledgeable. She was upbeat and engaged the group, asking questions and joking with the group in a way that brought everyone together. The tour highlighted interesting homes, buildings and elements of Chicago history that left one feeling better informed about the city and all that is available there.
This tour shouldn't be thought of as an "eating" tour as much as a "tasting and savoring" tour - there's enough food to make you feel like you've had a satisfying lunch but it's not heavy hors'd'oeuvres at every stop so you finish the tour feeling energized and content. I would definitely recommend it! |

| This was by far our favorite sightseeing activity while we visited Chicago. Never would we have known about the different areas or stores/restaurants we visited while on the tour. We went back the following day to use our coupons and revisit! |

| Quelle belle idée d'avoir pensé à organiser un tel tour guidé! En plus de nous amener dans un coin de la ville que nous n'aurions pas pensé visiter, nous avons découvert plusieurs petites boutiques et restaurants inusités. Une boutique de thé sublime, une épicerie fine spécialisée dans l'huile d'olive et le vinaigre, une boutique d'épices qui vous fait saliver, une dégustation de la fameuse pizza de Chicago... Ce qui est d'autant plus intéressant, c'est que le guide nous informe sur la particularité des produits. Cette visite de trois heures vous amène dans des quartier différents où le guide vous renseigne sur l'architecture.
Voilà une visite à ne pas manquer. |

| This food walk was an excellent way to begin your vacation. The host was excellent and the information exceptional. I would recommend taking the tour at the beginning of your Chicago vacation, it provides valuable "local" information and gives you great suggestions for places to eat, and things to do. I do suggest eating prior to going on the walk, there is not as much food as one would think, however, the historical information was priceless. I plan on booking the other food walk through this site the next time I visit the Chicago Land area. Well worth the cost of the ticket ! |

| There were so many first-in-a-lifetime experiences on this stroll through a great Chicago neighborhood that our entire group was elated at the end. At each stop, we were charmed and delighted by locals with a devotion to their city and their niche in the world of superlative food. Along the way we saw great mansions and small architectural wonders including Oz!
Our group included world travellers, a baby in a stroller, a girlfriend get-away group, young and older couples and a college student. Everyone was glad they went. Bet you will be too. |

| Highly recommended - we got to go to some more local-type places that we otherwise wouldn't have known about, while learning more about Chicago and tasting some great food. The heavier food is at the end after a lot of walking, so make sure to eat breakfast beforehand. |

| I've been to Chicago and as a tourist gravitate to the typical tourist spots. As someone who loves to eat, this was a good mix of the two. Great pace and tourguide was very very helpful, accomodating, and full of life. |
