| Our guide, Ariela, was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Knew so much about her great city - more than just a job. This is a must do in Chicago, not just for the food but the information about the neighborhoods, architecture and what to do while you're there. Do this early on in your trip so you can go back and visit the neighborhoods and restaurants! |

| I have lived in Chicago for about 8 years. A friend of mine asked me to join her on this tour. I wasn't even aware that this type of tour existed, so I was anxious to check it out. We had a wonderful day and discovered a number of places we had either forgotten about or never knew about to begin with. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and very fun. We learned so much about our neighborhoods and some of our local merchants. I can't wait to do some of the others available. Local or tourist....this is a great way to spend the day! |

| Our party of 4 (adults & kid) thoroughly enjoyed the tour despite the lashing rain! our tour guide Jen was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and all of the stops on the tour were well worth seeing. There was "just enough" food and drink to satisfy us without being too full, and we all felt that the experience widened our culinary horizons! |

| I think the best part of the tour is a chance to visit local neighourbood and try local food where first time tourists would not usually do. The tours are well organized. They gave you maps showing the walking directions and information of transit information, so you could easily go back to visit the places yourself afterwards. You also get to go behind the scenes in some places which I found quite cool. Next time I am in Chicago I will definitely try their other tours or even take the same tour again. Thanks Julie! |

| Our tour guide, Jessie, was very personable and knowledgeable. On some tours, I find myself checking my watch hoping that it is over - time flew by on this day and I never looked at my watch.
I would have to say my favorites were the reuben (we went back the next day for another) and the oil shop. My least favorite was Catering - Chocolate ~ it didn't seem to fit with everything else.
I would definitely recommend it to friends and look forward to visiting again and going on the other tour.
Thank you for a great day! |

| Our guide had such enthusiasm that it spread throughout our group. I had a wonderful time learning about the history of the places we visited, as well as the history and architecture of other buildings we passed along the way. The food was great and the tour offered me the opportunity to try things outside of my norm (The Spice Shop and the Olive Oil/Vinegar place). Had a fantastic time and will try this type of tour in every city I visit! |

| Not only are you taken to wonderful food related establishments where you learn about their history as well as details behind what they offer but you also get to walk through a couple of great Chicago neighborhoods where they stop to explain the history behind them. This tour was top-notch all the way through! Our tour guide was exceptional. |
