| our guide was very pleasant woman , with and incredible energy and enthusiasm, also interesting and nice .she gave us a lot of explanations. it was a very good idea to make this tour in a beautiful surrounding like chicago gold coast. Th fooding tour was interesting and pleasant . May be to organize tour a little bit more expensive but with highest quality , or diversity ( chicago specialties ) ; but we are french foodies so may be we ask a lot ;-))
thank's a lot for this tour +++++ |

| The tour was really nice. We took the Old Town/Lincoln Park tour. It took you off the main streets of Chicago and showed you some of the neighborhoods. We really enjoyed Old Town and all the specialty shops. Jen was a great tour guide. The chocolate was great at the Fudge Pot and the tea was good at the TeaGschwendner. They could have paired up some food with the olive oil and spice shops. We did enjoy the sit down lesson about the spice and cinnamon. It was very educational. |

| We loved this tour! It had a great variety of food & drink stops and the choices were fantastic. We had never been to Chicago so it was great to do this tour as soon as we arrived so we could experience all those hidden gems. The tea & spice stores were so neat that we HAD to go back & buy something to bring home! The coupons and map given to us during the tour were an added bonus. And the Chicago stuffed pizza... WOW. We actually went back a few days later so we could enjoy it again! We also learned lots of fun facts about the local neighbourhoods from our fun & informative tour guide. Overall, I would highly recommend going on this tour! I've told everyone I know about it already. |

| The Chicago Food Tour was so much fun. We got to see places that we would have never known about and to try wonderful things at each destination. Our guide was very knowledgable about each of the places that we visited as well as the city as a whole. We hope to be able to do one other tours in teh future. |

| My husband and I did the Near North Food Tour and loved every second of it! The tour guide, Jessie, was incredibly enthusiastic and knowledgable about both Chicago and food. She was so much fun! The tastings were fantastic and we loved that we got to see areas of Chicago we may not have seen otherwise. This tour is a MUST for anyone who loves food and wants to learn more about Chicago! |

| I can't say enough good things about this tour. It exceeded my expectations in every way.
The tour was fun and informative. i would recommend it for a first-time visitor to the city or a long-time resident. It is a great way to see the neighborhoods that make up Chicago and find places that one may not see on one's own or using the usual tour books. Our guide made it fun. She definitely loved the city and was enthusiastic in sharing it with others.The tour is well-planned. It is a perfect length with a good mix of stops. I never felt overwhelmed by the length of the walk. I can't wait to go back and explore the places we saw at my leisure. |

| It's a great way to see parts of Chicago that you won't get on other tours. You walk around real neighborhoods, eat good food and learn a little history. Don't expect an all-you-can-eat buffet, but you do get to sample some very good foods from real Chicago restaurants. Some of the stops on the tour are more informative than they are filling. On the tour we took, we had a great Rueben from a Jewish deli and some of the best Chicago-style pizza I've ever had. But a couple stops offered only a small taste.
All said, it is definitely a great way to spend a few hours. The tour guide is great, very enthusiastic. When you're finished with the tour, you'll feel like a Chicagoan. |

| We have a condo in the Gold Coast but decided to be tourists in our own town. It was wonderful. The group was charming--children, singles, everyone had a great time-- the guide was wonderful, the food was delicious, the information was captivating. There are not enough words to describe how much we enjoyed ourselves. We would recommend this outing to any and everyone. |

| The Near North Culinary Walking Tour is fantastic! I enjoyed it far more than the recommended Architectural Boat Tour. What a wonderful way to see the city, and learn interesting facts, as well as trying local cuisine.
The stuffed pizza at the end is well worth the walk around.
Jennifer was the best tour guide I have ever had the pleasure of having. She is extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic. |
