| My sisters and I took the tour and all three of us loved it. Our guide, Jenny, was great, full of information on the Gold Coast. The tour lasted a little over three hours, but the time flew. Don't eat much before you go, you'll get a lot to eat! |

| My partner and I visited Chicago Oct 6-13 and went on the Near North Food Tour on Oct 7. We lucked out on the weather, cause it was a pretty wet and cold week. Anyway, the tour was awesome. Jenn was a terrific guide and make everyone feel welcome. The stops to the various restaurants and stores were fabulous, especially when there was interaction between us and the owners/ staff. Jenn shared some great insights on the homes in the various neighbourhoods we visited and pointed out other things of interest that would be helpful for the remainder of our stay. Favourite stops included the Tea Store, Spice Store, and Oil & Vinegar stores. The Pizza at the end was excellent as well. The only place that I didn't really enjoy was the chocolate/catering place. I didn't feel the food or experience there was all that special. It could have been made more special if we had an opportunity to taste one of their specialities (something they made for one of the big clients) and if there was some interaction with the owner. Anyway, overall I totally think this was worth it. Preview the video on the site... it is a very accurate reflection of the experience you will receive. |

| Our guide was excellent and helpful with suggestions.
Anyone who enjoys food and tourism should spend part of their day. I enjoyed seeing another area of Chicago. I learned alot.
I am highly recommending my daughter and I go to the food tour in Washington. |

| Our guide Jennifer was a perfect example of what a quality tour guide should be....enthusiastic, informative and professional.......I appreciated the fact that the places we visited were out of the ordinary.........the walking tour provided a nice way to learn about Chicago history, social aspects and architecture of the area and of course, enjoy the food tastings......I've already placed an ordered from Old Town Oil and plan to order from Tea Gschwendner for the holidays...............................................
........thank you....Janis Goto of Honolulu, HI. |

| I am a tour operator and just took a small group on this tour. Everyone was extremely happy with what we did. First of all, our leader/guide was fantastic. She was very enthusiastic about Chicago and the neighborhoods we saw. She was very knowledgeable about the architecture. The stops at the venues we had were so much fun. They were not your usual "chain" shops. We all went back the next day to make purchases! I would recommend this trip to everyone. We had some ladies that were over 80 years old and they did opt to take a taxi to our last stop, but that worked out fine. Great day! |

| This food/walking tour was amazing! From the moment we started at the Deli until we finished at the Italian restaurant we had a great time. All the spots we stopped at were wonderful. The best part was our guide. She was extremely knowledeable about the area and great about telling us the history of the city. We loved every minute of the tour and would love to do it next time we're in town. |
