| Tour guide Kate had a genuine passion for Chicago and was full of interesting facts about the city. Tour was a good mix of walking and nibbling so was not overboard on food which was good. We went through lovely Old Town area and sampled olive oil and baslamic vinegar at one of the stops, was interesting and informative! |

| Although our guide needed to learn to limit his use of the word "awesome," the tour was still a great experience. The tour is a blend of local history and Chicago food combined general "foodie" tidbits that were fascinating - the history of the spice trade, where chocolatiers get their chocolate from, etc. Lots of fun! |

| Unique tour concept....really enjoyed all the stops....leader Shane was very informative and enthusiastic. I'd suggest just a bit more in the way of food samples....maybe a small side item at the first stop (deli) or the last one (pizzeria) as it does go almost 3 1/2 hours. The option to buy beer flight samples at the pizzeria bar was a nice bonus! |

| Loved it, but the walk to the last stop was a bit long. Or maybe I was getting a bit tired by then. Nicki was a great tour guide, and I learned much about Chicago, food, and products. |

| This was a great tour -- you get to visit a lot of delicious shops and taste all they have to offer. My one issue I take is with the pizza place in Lincoln Park. While it was so incredibly delicious, there was a long walk in between Old Town to the final stop. I would have liked something in between to break up the distance, or maybe a seperate tour with Lincoln Park?
Note you need to eat breakfast as this is not enough for a full meal. But it was a lot of fun! |

| I highly and enthusiastically recommend the Near North Food Tasting and Cultural Walking Tour. This was a fun, entertaining, and educational experience. It was a great way to learn more about the history of Chicago, the different neighborhoods, and some of the unique retailers that we would not have otherwise happened upon. |
