| Great fun and value. My older teenage boys loved it so much we took both tours. It is wonderful to have something we all could enjoy together. The tour guides were personable and very knowledgeable about the food, neighborhood, history and architecture. Would highly and strongly reccomend it to locals and visitors. |

| This constitutes the second time I have taken the tour. I enjoyed it so much the first time that I took a group of friends and repeated it. Everyone had a ball. The guides on both tours were knowledgeable, efficient, friendly, and possessed a sense of humor. We learned about a variety of products as well as some local history. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys getting out and enjoying some of the history, architecture, and flavors of Chicago. |

| When we first got the phone call to possibly switch tour times, we knew we were about to have a private tour. Unfortunately, we could not make it earlier and decided to see what would happen. It was WONDERFUL! Nikki took our group of 3 around, talking about the city (we are tourists from Philadelphia), describing her own travels and experiences, and of course - discussing food. The entire experience was so much fun. We can't wait to come back to Chicago and try the other tour! I have already recommended this tour to my friends if they come to the city and will continue to do so. Good luck with this business expanding! You have a great idea here. |

| This was a fun way to see another part of the city. The tour guide knew a great deal, was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and plentiful in some places (chocolate, deli, and pizza), but virtually nonexistent in others. The tour is more about the architecture than the food. Some of the business owners were very friendly and welcoming (chocolate, tea, and pizza place), others, not so much. |

| We are former residents of the Chicago area and at the suggestion of friends, we participated in the tour on June 28th. We found it so interesting and enjoyed all of the places we visited. In addition to the food, we especially enjoyed some of the architectural facts we learned while on the tour. While we lived in the area, we always enjoyed visiting these areas, but it was so nice to learn some additional facts about the area.
Jennifer Greenberg was our tour guide and she did an excellent job. My husband is hard of hearing and her explanations were all audible to him. |

| The tour introduced us to a couple of Chigago's neighbourhoods that perhaps we may not have seen otherwise. We were greeted and introduced to our guide. She explained how the tour works and then off we went. The shops we visited were interesting and the food provided was unique and very good.
We also were told of the neighbourhood and a brief history of how it became what it is today. A very informative tour to familiarize someone with the great regions of Chicago. |

| The tour was perfect for our group---a family girl's weekend with ages 24-84 years. Absolutely perfect. Tour guide was knowledgable and entertaining. The next time I have travelers in town I will be sure to repeat this event! |

| My wife and I had a great time on the tour ... smallish group, great tastings, great stores ... a whole lotta fun. I'd recommend to anyone who appreciates good food ... and learning about it. |
