| This tour was the highlight of our trip to Chicago. Caroline was a great guide. We loved the neighborhoods and all the stores we visited. Would highly recommend this tour and cannot wait to return to Chicago to take the next one. |

| This was a great experience. Our guide, Jessie, was personable, knowledgeable, and efficient. The choice of destinations was excellent, and we plan to purchase from them via mail order in the future. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. |

| This tour was excellent. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and the stops were both fun and interesting. We went back to 2 of the stops because we wanted to actually buy some spices and oils but would also return to a few more. I have lived in and around Chicago my whole life and still found out some new things. When in one of the stops with a large group you do feel like a tourist but it passes quickly. You need to check the weather on the day you go. Fortunately the weather was only cloudy with a few spinkles towards the end. It would have been a more difficult day if it would have rained but you need to dress for the weather. We still would have had fun. Great exercise too especially if you walk back to the start. |

| My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our Near North Food Tasting Tour. It was well organized and gave us a nice sampling of places to re-visit on our next trip to Chicago. The portions we sampled at each stop were generous. No skimping whatsoever. While we had to keep to a schedule we did not feel rushed in any way. We actually wouldn't have minded a few more opportunities to sit for a few minutes. The success of our tour, in large part, goes to our tour guide, Jessie. Not only is she pretty; she is smart, articulate, nicely groomed, and well versed in food subject as well as the architecture in the areas we visited. She was a delight and is a real asset to the Chicago Food Planet. We can't wait to come again. |

| The tour was so awesome! Thank you so much for everything, we had such an amazing time. From the reuben to the toffee everything tasted amazing and I feel like I learned so much about food and Chicago.
I truly love Chicago and I love it even more after spending 3 hours with one of your tour guides. You all have organized such a unique way to see the city and the fantastic food it has to offer.
Thank you so much! |

Girls' Weekend Away

| Every year my five daughters and I do a "girls weekend away." We did one in Chicago last year and took in a lot of fun places and restaurants. This was a weekend away for me with just my youngest daughter (30 yrs. old) and I. We wanted to do something fun other than the usual shopping and things we had done before. I found out about this activity by searching online for "things to do in Chicago." We love trying new things and love to eat at unusual places. One of my grandsons is an architect in New York and we loved seeing homes and other buildings designed by one of his favorite architects - Frank Lloyd Wright., along with all the other interesting homes and buildings. This was everything we had hoped for and we can't wait to go back to spend time in Old Town again.
The young woman who led the tour was very knowledgable and fun. We enjoyed her very much! |

| What a great, informative, delicious afternoon. Our guide was well versed in the historical, architectural and culinary aspects of downtown Chicago. The food facts were very interesting and samples --delicious. I will do this tour over again and recommend it to anyone. |

| We were very happy that we had taken the tour on the first day of our 5 day visit to Chicago. It was a nice way to visit neighborhoods that we would probably not have walked through had it not been for the tour. We did revisit a few of the shops during our stay. The food samplings were great and our guide Jessie very informative. My only suggestion is to NOT eat breakfast if you are taking a morning tour...go hungry and really enjoy the food. |
