Awesome Food Tour!!

Loved the Near North Food Tour! I would definitely recommend this adventure. I loved all the shops, the samples were fabulous, and I thoroughly enjoyed the bits of history that our guide told us during our walk. After the tour, I went back to a few of the shops to use my discounts and take home some of the fun. I was in the city by myself, so I took the tour as a single. It wasn't a problem. The group was welcoming and so was the guide. I would definitely take this tour again or try one of the other tours. Thanks!!

Jess was a fabulous leader and even after living in Chicago for more than 20 years, I learned a few new things about the city and its food offerings. I've already recommended the tour to several people!

This is the second time I have taken this tour and I also took the Buck Town one. Enjoyed all three very much. Had relatives from Denver and Indianapolis that wanted to see Chicago and they all loved the tour and thought it was well worth the money, The tour guide was outstanding.

We took the tour on a Saturday morning and it was very enjoyable. Our tour guide was well versed in Chicago history and architecture of the North area. I highly recommend this tour.

I have been on food tours in other cities and this one is one of the better ones. Frustrated that we were taken to a store to taste olive oil! Olive oil? Not a food tasting nor was the spice shop. However, when the food tour was over those were two of the stores we all went back to for purchases. My suggestion would be for the olive oil store to offer bread and the spice store to offer a little snack.

Great Tour Guide

Hillary was fantastic. She was knowledgeable, professional, and enthusiastic. She answered any and all questions presented to her and did a really great job acting as a liazon between the businesses we visited and the tour participants themselves. I would highly recommend this tour and am considering taking another.

Nichol was a terrific guide. All shops were ready for us upon arrival. Appreciated the handout with map, shop hours, coupons and other non sponsored restaurants.

The food tasting and cultural walking tour far exceeded our expectations. From our tour guide to each stop along the way our experience was great. We saw parts of the city that we otherwise would not have; we visited tasting locations that were so amazing that at the end of the tour we walked back to our hotel so that we could revisit some of the locations to make purchases. OUTSTANDING....
