| As a new resident of Chicago, I hadn't had time to explore much. This tour gave me a great basis for branching out further on my own, while being very entertaining in its own right. The food was very good, and the coordination of food and tour was extremely well organized. I went back to one of the establishments for dinner that same day. |

| The weather was rainy and we still enjoyed our day. The walk was so interesting. We learned as tourists that there is more to Chicago than Michigan Avenue and Navy Park. Most of the success was because of the interesting and personable young man that was our leader. He was just great. |

| I enjoyed walking through the neighborhoods that we visited. I would have liked a little more history from our tour guide. The food stops were good but I would have like to sit down just a moment or two somewhere during the tour. |

| I had never been to Chicago before and would never have seen the lovely shops and neighborhoods if I had not taken the tour. Would recommend to anyone visiting Chicago! |

| My co-workers and I very much enjoyed this walking tour. It was a great opportunity to see neighborhoods that I ordinarily wouldn't have and experience the culture there. The food was terrific and the guide was very knowledgable.
One suggestion: please allow 10-15 minutes after each stop for members to shop. I know the businesses would appreciate it. I would have bought several things if I'd had time, but I was not able to come back afterward. I'd rather add 30 minutes to the tour than miss out on taking home some of the great products we sampled. |

| Our enthusiastic tour guide was interesting and informative...she worked very hard to engage everyone in our diverse group...the food science and architectural info added a welcome dimension to the tour...Suggestion: the Jewish deli would have been better if we had sampled items such as knishes, blintzes, etc. rather than the Reuben sandwich (which wasn't anything special). |

| I found this tour purely by chance while looking at stuff to do during our long weekend trip to Chicago. My husband and I have never been to Chicago and we absolutely LOVED the food tour. It was the highlight of our trip along with the show we saw. Not only did we get to enjoy tastings of food, tea, chocolate on our particular tour (Lincoln Park/Gold Coast), but we got a great tour of neighborhoods we never would have ventured into. We also really enjoyed our WONDERFUL, enthusiastic, knowlegable guide, Jen. We made new friends and had a terrific time on our first visit to Chicago. This tour is worth every penny! When we go back we will probably go on the other tour offered in a different neighborhood. |
