| My boyfriend and I had a great time on the tour. Not only did we get to try great food, we also learned a lot about Chicago history, and walked through three wonderful neighborhoods in Chicago. I would definitely recommend eating breakfast beforehand, because the substantial tastings are at the end of the tour. I wasn't too sure how much I would enjoy tasting tea, seasonings and oil, but it was a great experience. We enjoyed every tasting. Although you cannot shop on the tour (because that would take forever), every person gets coupons for discounts at each store to use later if they want to return. My only other suggestion would be to bring a water bottle or something to drink. You get tea at the second stop of the tour, and water is provided at a few later stops, but otherwise you have to purchase a drink in the middle...During the summer months, you definitely get thirsty and may not want to purchase a drink. |

| I am from Wichita, Kansas and had a wonderful time on the food tour. Each stop provided something good to snack on and information about Chicago's past. I had a sore knee, but was able to keep up with the group. I was with a friend on this tour, but plan on booking again the next time my husband and I go to Chicago. He would enjoy the spice shop and the oil and vinegar stop. |

| This was a really cool tour. We learned a lot about Chicago and visited some places I probably never would have seen otherwise. My only (relatively minor) complaint is that both the Spice House and the Oil/Vinegar shop (sorry the name escapes me at the moment) would have been better experiences if we'd had some bread at both tastings. Eating spices out of the palm of my hands and drinking oil and vinegar out of small cups were both really awkward experiences. Also, Nikki was a great tour guide. |

| There were three of us to see the city of Chicago and we started off with this tour. We all thought it was a great idea but didn't think we needed the "oil" or "spices" part of the tour. We were very wrong about that. That was one of the best parts. But the entire tour was wonderful. I asked our guide "Nicky" if she could get us into one of the houses for an "open house" next time. We would do it again and we got some good ideas of where to go & what to buy during our stay.
We loved it!!!!!!!!!! |

| We had Jennifer as a tour guide and thought she did a great job. We had plenty to eat and feel we learned a lot about the area too! Our group was a bit large but that would be our only complaint.
I would love to see more of the city and hope you will soon make tours of other areas. I would definitely take all the tours you have to offer!!!
Thanks |

| Strolling through Old Town, Gold Coast, and Lincoln Park, you get a feel for how true Chicagoans live. Not only do you taste delicious food and learn from the masters of their trade, but you get a city and architecture tour thrown in! Our tour guide Jennifer was perfect. During our 3 day stay in the city, this was my favorite activity. |

Very enjoyable journey through the Gold Coast!

| Jennifer, our tour guide for the Food Tasting Tour gathered the group in front of the Deli right on time. At each stop, Jennifer gave us all the necessary info and was open to different questions. Excellent presentation at each stop along the tour. She was also very willing to answer other questions re activities in the city. That was much appreciated. I would certainly recommend this Tour to friends who plan on visiting Chicago and hope they are lucky enough to get Jennifer as a guide.
One small suggestion: The Tour Guides should have an I. D. badge.
Thanks for an enjoyable afternoon! |

| We had been to Chicago before and had seen many of the tourist sights. We came this time with our 16 year old son, and we all thought it was the highlight of the trip. Loved many of the tasting stops and especially the neighborhood history. |
