| This tour was wonderful. We had a small group -- only seven on the tour -- and our guide was great. She was informative and fun. Most of the group were in their 20's with a 50/50 mix of Chicagoans and visitors. The highlights for everyone were the specialty olive oil and balsamic vinegar shop and the spice shop. The chocolates and pizza were good too. |

| This walk tour is just a great way to walk through the streets and alleys of Chicago. We get to walk streets I would not have found, taste food that I would not have tasted and hear stories I would not have otherwise heard. The pace of the tour was great - no rushing at all. I have lots of time to take photos too.
Nicky our tour guide was all-knowledgeable and patient. She is very friendly. She knows her stuff - including the spice and teas.
Overall, a very fun walk and my daughter Rosalyn mentioned that this is the the highlight of our week long in your beautiful city.
Thank you. |

| I had a great time on the tour. My guide was very knowledgable and friendly too! I enjoyed seeing a few neighborhoods I would not have probably ventured to on my own given my time constraints. I was in Chicago for business purposes and only for 3 days. |

| The weather did not completely cooperate, but the tour was great. I would highly recommend it. By walking you see many parts of Chicage you would otherwise miss. The planned stops are all unique stores and independently owned. Returned to many of the stores for personal purchases as well as great gifts. |

| I booked this tour because it was something I knew I would like. Most of the folks that went in our group (of 6) didn't do as much cooking or baking as I did so, I wasn't sure if they would enjoy it as much as. As it turned out we spend all of our day retracing our steps going back to stores we saw or eating at recommended restaurants during the rest of our stay in Chicago. Our entire group got into the history and food as much, if not more than I did. Our tour guide was friendly and kept us off the beaten path. It was the best part of our time in Chicago. Do note though they say for all fitness types, but the tour was not for those who can't stand for at least 3 hours or walk at a brisk pace for that period of time. |

| Stores chosen were informative was hoping for the artisan bakery . A true foodie would be disappointed with general type info, but still fun and helped find the little shops you would never find. Thanks Food planet. Keep looking for the new neighborhood to tour. |

| I really enjoyed the tour. The tour guides are fun and hip and very friendly. The tour goes through downtown the way a local would. I have already raved to my friends and family that the tour was the best part of my vacation. I loved the different stores and the houses. I have already ordered from two of the stores. I definatly suggest going on the tour at the begining of your trip so you can see Chicago in a calm and relaxed environment. |
