We had a great time on the food cultural tour! Even though it was cold and raining, we still managed to enjoy ourselves. Most of us were from out of town, but we did have one local person in our group. We all had a great time and would highly recommend it to others. We learned so much and really enjoyed this experience. Thank you so much! Jen was great!

I've lived in Chicago for 10 years and find it harder and harder to find interesting and fun things to do when family comes in to visit for a weekend, as we've done all the usual "chicago sites" time and time again. When a friend recommended this I thought it sounded like something not only my guests would enjoy, but also give me a chance to experience things in the city I've never had the chance to before. And that's exactly what it was. Our guide, Jen, was super friendly, bubbly and knowledgable about the city and really made the experience for us. Even though it was a rainy day, Jen never let that slow us down, and I barely noticed the inclement weather with all the good food we were eating! My family couldn't wait to go back to our favorite stops on the tour and do a little shopping and more eating. They loved it and haven't stopped raving about it. Great tour, great guides, highly recommend for anyone!

Shane was our tour guide on this beautiful day in Chicago. We had a girl's weekend and this was one of the hightlights of our trip. Although we had been to Chicago many times, this tour was in an area of town we had never been to. Shane was very personable and gave great information about the architecture of the area as well as the shops we went into. We all loved it, and would highly reccommend it to anyone visiting Chicago.

The tour was interesting and exactly what it stated it would be. Our tour guide was easy going and provided us with interesting details as we walked. The stores were varied and overall it was a great experience.

My boyfriend and I are new to Chicago and have often been overwhelmed by the number of potential restaurants and/or areas of town to visit. So we decided to be tourists in our own city and take a tour of some of the areas we were unfamiliar with. Hence the reason for the near-north food/cultural walking tour. We met fantastic people from all over North America; couples, groups of friends, families etc. with an equal amount of regard for this tour. My boyfriend enjoyed the cultural aspect of the tour the most while I enjoyed the tastings! Our tour guide Shane was on his game, he was extremely well informed and humorous, making the tour beyond enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour, for all age groups and all tourists, including Chicago natives. You can never know too much about your own city. You will not be disappointed with this outing.

We really enjoyed the tour - all the tastings, the informative talks given to us by the shop owners, and the neighborhood sights. Shane was a terrific tour guide. I highly recommend this activity.

We enjoyed the walk through a part of Chicago on a day with beautiful weather. We had samples at each place and were fed just the right amount. The variety made it interesting as well as the information about the places we saw.

More food please.
Sat, Apr 18, 09   11:30 AM AZPainter Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
We tasted latkes, tea, spices, oils & balsamic vinegars, chocolate toffee, cheeses & deep dish pie. I would have liked shorter presentations (the tea guy went on forever) and more food tastings. I would have loved to try small portions of signature Chicago dishes. Enjoyed the architectural information, though. Overall, I think I would have liked more samples at more restaurants, but in small portions. And I would have liked to know more about foods that are Chicago specialties, and more about the current food scene in Chicago - maybe even some culinary history of the town.

I would recommend this tour for anyone. The food was fabulous I just wished I had more time to shop during the tour. Next time I'm in Chicago I will be going on the other tour.
