| Our tour guide Jennifer was great, very enthusiastic and knew a lot about Chicago. It was great to tour the family owned businesses but I would have liked to have less chocolate (2 was too many) and more deli or other food samples from family businesses. Are there any popcorn places in the vicinity?? Anyway, we had a wonderful tour and the weather couldn't have been more perfect. |

| Spices, oil, and tea--the highlights of the tour. We could have done without chocolate repetitions (even though we did not have chocolate in each place).
Emily was charming, positive, and socially skilled. She presented interesting tidbits. |

| This is a great tour for Chicagoans and visitors alike! I found all kinds of places I never even knew were here - and I can't wait to go back to. Nikki, our tour guide was knowledgeable and fun and the pace of the tour was perfect. |

| 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! |

| We wanted to try something different than the usual Gray Line Tours. Wow, we had a great time doing the Old Town tour with CFPFT. Our guide, Caroline ,give us good insights of the various neigborhoords we visited, the architecture, had great stories about Hugh Efner's mansion and simply made us at ease to visit the various shops part of the tour. We really enjoyed the tea shop, Old town oil, the spice house and the fudge shop (almost "all you can eat"!). Catering Chocolat has little interest and I'm glad we did not end up in the basement of the pizza joint like the group before us - that would have been a disappointment!
Plan enough time in your agenda, the tour is at least 3 hours and may go beyond shedule - and you'll need a bit of time to rest afterwords!
A great experience overall! |

| I was very happy with the tour, we went to some interesting shops where we could try out different things. I learned a lot about the architecture too and the history of the neighbourhoods we walked through. I liked that there was a large amount of walking, it allowed us to appreciate the houses and it was good exercise. The tour guide (Ariana) was very knowledgable and excellent, and I liked how she added her personal spin to things. Very good tour, highly recommend. |

| This was a great tour! I love to eat, so being able to combine food tastings with experiencing various areas of Chicago was great! The food tastings were varied and good, and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and outgoing. I would definitely recommend the tour to anyone visiting the area. |
