DELICIOUS & INFORMATIVE TOUR!
Wed, Jul 18, 07   11:00 AM EMERSHANNON Female 30-39 International Tourist(s) Individual
I VERY MUCH ENJOYED THE FOOD TOUR, IT WAS EVEN BETTER THAN I HAD ANTICIPTED. THE GUIDE WAS SO FRIENDLY AND INTERESTING AND MADE EVERYONE ON THE TOUR FEEL WELCOME. I REALLY ENJOYED ALL THE DIFFERENT PLACES/FOODS WE TRIED. THE WALKS THROUGH THE VARIOUS NEIGHBOURHOODS WAS EXTREMELY INTERESTING TOO-I WOULD NEVER HAVE FOUND ALL THOSE NICE SPOTS BY MYSELF IN THE FEW DAYS I HAD IN CHICAGO. NICKI MADE ALL THE INFORMATION SOUND FRESH AND INTERESTING EVEN THOUGH SHE HAS PROBABLY GIVEN THE TOUR HUNDREDS OF TIMES. THE YOUNG MAN, TROY, WHO WAS IN TRAINING WITH NICKI WAS ALSO VERY PLEASENT AND INFORMATIVE. IT WAS VERY GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY AND I WOULD RECOMMEND THE TOUR TO ANYONE GOING TO CHICAGO.

Wonderful Experience and Guide

I had been on a Greenwich tour in NYC and decided to take the Chicago one. It was just as wonderful as the NYC tour. Our guide Nicki was great and very informative. When I bring my sisters back for a visit, this will definitely be on the agenda Jeanette

My sister and I enjoyed every minute of the tour. We have been to Chicago several times but this is the first for a tour. We were pleasantly surprised at how much fun we had, the knowledge of the guide (Shane) and the amount of food. We were full!!! I never thought we would say we had too much chocolate but we did---our own fault. We would highly recommend this to everyone. Shane was a personable guide and it made for a very pleasant afternoon.

Relaxing and interesting

Our group was small just me an another gal which made the tour that much more interesting. I prefer a smaller group because it is more personal. Instead of the guide spitting out memorized information he was passionate about what he was teaching us about the city and its history. The places where we had tastings were a good variety and was a good balance for this type of tour. Althought we walked a great deal it was relaxing and not overwelming. It was a great way to see different parts the city you would otherwise not know about .

Single Woman Sings Praises
Sun, Jul 15, 07   2:00 PM susanbrooks Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
Traveling as a single woman, I enjoyed this tour very much. It was easy and comfortable to be a single in the group. The meeting location was easy to find and we were given good directions on how to get back after the tour.Our guide, Shane, was enthusiastic, humorous, and very knowledgable. He seemed to really enjoy giving the tour. I prefer walking tours over driving tours and this tour introduced me to neighborhoods I would never have seen on my own. I have a new appreciation for the city of Chicago. The food tastings were as described when I read about the tour online.The tastings were fun, but only part of the tour. I enjoyed and appreciated the comments on history, local life of the neighborhoods and communities, and the recommendations on restaurants.The pace was not rushed, yet it did not go too slow. The tour was advertised at taking 3 hours and ours took 3 1/2 hours. A friend who took the same tour the day before said her tour took closer to 4 hours. Our tour started at 2:00pm on Sunday. I would recommend taking an earlier tour to allow time to go back to the stores for shopping before they close.

Shane was a great tour guide. Funny and full of useful information. Really liked the neighborhoods toured. The food stops were really different. maybe just one chocolatier rather than two. I will be recommending this to friends.

Take this tour on your first day visiting Chicago. We learned so much from Shane and truly got to feel what "Real Chicago" was like. Lots of information, delicious food, and tired feet...we would do it again in a heartbeat!!

The tour was excellent. I was impressed by the guide's knowledge of the city and the food was fantastic. There was plenty to fill us up, especially the pizza. An all around great way to spend a sunny afternoon in Chicago.

A good way to start off your trip

We would recommend taking this tour at the beginning of your Chicago trip. The area covered and the information given during the tour was more valuable than a tour book. Thanks!

We absouletly loved it!

Our guide was very energetic as well as knowledgable and fun. The food samples could have been a little more ample, but the breadth of the information and sites seen were worth the fee and the time committed!
