| I feel like I know more about the Chicago neighborhoods we visited. We are what they call "slow travelers" and enjoy getting to know an area by walking and eating our way through it. This tour really met that criteria. I came home all excited about tea, spices and olive oil. We are already planning on changing some food habits and recipes. |

| It was a very informative tour with some interesting stops. We saw areas of Chicago we would normally not see and we really enjoyed the tour. |

OK, no big deal for the REAL food enthusiast

| The tour sounded like a treat. There wasn't too many "tastings". The food wasn't THAT good. Out of 7 spots only 2 were good. It also depends on your age. It seemed that the older people enjoyed it more. Once we hit the 4th spot, I was ready to go home. The pizza on the tour was amazing!
It rained, so we were soaked. Architechtural part was informative, but again I wasn't WOW'd |

| We were the perfect test group for a tour. Two of us had previously enjoyed a short visit to Chicago, another had only seen a couple of restaurants and the inside of the convention center and I had never been there at all.
The tour was informative, fun and very tasty. We also treasure the new resources we were introduced to on the tour. We had a suitcase full of tea and spices to share with friends and family here and are anxiously awaiting the arrival of the oils and vinegars that we had mailed. |

| Jennifer was great. Very nice and friendly person. I would add a few more places to visit with something very special (like oil and vinegar store).
Thank you, very much |

| As a visitor from California, it was my husband's and my first trip to Chicago. We absolutely loved the food tour!! I literally knew nothing about this town upon my arrival, and learned so much about the different foods, architecture and culture of the Gold Coast and Lincoln Park neighborhoods. Definitely bring your walking shoes because the tour moves pretty fast, as there are so many yummy foods to try and fabulous places to discover! |

Take the tour!

| Not only did we learn a lot about tea, spices, olive oil and balsamic vinegar and get to sample these (and chocolate!), we got to see and learn about interesting Chicago personalities, history and architecture. Our guides were VERY helpful and knowledgeable. The tour was the most fun of all that we did in Chicago! |

| Our guide was well spoken and very knowledgeable. We had the opportunity to sample different foods in Chicago, find out more about it's history, and walk through parts of the city that we would not have otherwise have a chance too. |
