Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour

My daughter & I went on this tour last weekend and it was the highlight of my visit to the City! We ate so much that we didn't need lunch OR dinner - and loved some of the shops so much that we went back that evening to purchase items to take home. The tour guide was wonderful - informative, fun, and personable. I would go on this tour again but am hoping that ther will be new tours developed for my next Chicago visit. Don't change a thing - this is the perfect way to spend a few hours getting to know the real Chicago.

We had six in our group and we all had a great time. Our tour guide was great. She kept things moving and held our interest.

I thoroughly enjoyed the tour! I've lived in the Chicago area my whole life, but I learned things and discovered food places I didn't know about. Walking though the neighborhoods and tasting the foods was most enjoyable. Our tour guide (Nikki) was great! I would recomend this tour to locals and visitors alike. Just wish we had a little more time to shop and purchase some of the delicious products!

The activity was fun, the food good, the locations we visited enjoyable and the tour guide was very knowledgable, freindly and involved with everyone. I am local to Chicago but my friends were from DC. I would recommend this anyone who wants a highlevel tour. I learned of one reatil store that I have already gone back to.

I have enthusiastically recommended this tour to my friends. It is a perfect birthday/anniversary etc gift. A fun AND educational experience. We were fortunate in that the weather was ideal and the guide excellent. A great way to spend the better part of a day.

Heather was absolutely fabulous - positive, funny, fun, pleasant, knowledgable, accomodating, etc. Since we were local we knew some of the places. Places we visited I didn't really think depicted Chicago, although they were quality places. Tour ran smoothly and lots to eat and taste which was nice.

Tour guide was knowledgeable and personable. The sites visited were worthwhile and educational. The food samples were excellent. Think the price should be less though, perhaps 5-7 dollars less.

A wonderful tour. Hilary was an exceptional guide. Size of group was perfect. Food choices were great (we went back and bought stuff!). We will definitely do another tour next time we are in Chicago and have already recommended this to friends. It was a big hit.

A real opportunity to visit parts of the city I had never been to. I enjoyed the combination of the walk, info. about the neighborhoods and a nice variety of shops and restruants to do our tasting. I would recommend the tour to my friends.

This tour met and exceeded my expectations. My friends and I were delighted at the chance to spend relaxed time together learning about food, history and fun places to visit and shop in the Near North area in the Gold Coast of Chicago. The food was delicious and the portions just enough. Our enthusiastic and knowledgable guide, Jess, made the experience fun for all with her descriptions and backround information. HIghly recommend!
