| The walking tour gave us a look at Chicago we would not have seen and a wonderful tour of different and iteresting food cultures. Our guide caroline was a gem with plenty of information and suggestions and truly loved her work. |

| Our guide Nikki was awesome. She knew everything about everywhere we went. Not as much food on the food tour as you'd think, but well worth it. Our favorite excursion while in Chicago. |

Interesting and fun way to see part of Chicago

| We enjoyed the tour; however, the architectural aspects were more interesting than the food samplings. We were disappointed in three of the stops two of which aways offer free tasting samples anyways(the oil & vinegar shop, and the tea shop). The 2 small cubes of cheese and cracker with hummus at the Catering Chocolate were not impressive either. Many in our group felt that stop was dull and were expecting an exciting tasting of something more than a sample you could get at your local grocery deli counter. We were most impressed by the Spice House tour and informational talk, but a small complimentary sample of cinnamon, pepper, or some other spice would have been great. I guess I have been on similar " foodie" tours which were much more generous on the tastings and variety. I would not suggest taking any stops off, but possibly add one or two more like the Old Jerusalem restaurant or Sushi cafe which we passed by (several of us were curious about those) which would only add about 10 minutes more, but greatly enhance the perceived value of the tour. Thanks |

| Directions for arriving at the starting point and leaving from the ending point were helpful and accurate.
Pleasing array of food establishments visited and foodstuffs tasted.
I enjoyed the Chicago facts & trivia given by the guide as well. |

| This tour is a fascinating way to see a few neighbourhoods that you would not normally get to visit as a tourist. It is a combination of food tasting and guided walking tour in an interesting neibourhood. Our guide was dynamic and knowledgeable, both about the food and the area we visited. The stores we visited were mostly interesting, in particular the tea store and the oil store. There was also an intriguing spice store. We were 10 or 12 which was a good size with a good mix of engaging people. It is a long walk, especially if you walk back to revisit some of the stores to make a few purchases, so you need to be in reasonable shape and wear comfortable shoes. |

| Our tour with Jessie was great! She was a wealth of loacal knowledge, and spoke clearly, and loud enough for all to hear her. The stops along the way were a complete delight, and were visited by my wife prior to leaving town! We showed the list of your recommended stops, to a Chicago local, and they said you had hit a home run with them.
So congrat's on a job well done! We'll be back!
Sincerely,
Dennis Perkins |

| Great tour guide (Nikki) and delightful stops along the tour. The FudgePot was the weak link with no owner interaction (almost felt like we were in the way). We will highly recommend this to any friends that will be visiting the windy city! |
