| My wife and I were in Chicago for a few days of fun. The tour was great from every aspect. We had an enthusiastic and very knowledgable guide who took us to some great food spots and helped us learn about three Chicago neighborhoods. My wife is a great cook and as a food-lover she loved the spice shop and the oil shop. The samples at the candy store were great and the concluding pizza stop was excellent. We now have a new favorite pizza place in Chicago. We went back to Old Town twice later in the week for meals and shopping. My wife says, "Our guide was very informative and lots of fun and we found some great stores and great places to eat". |

| We thoroughly enjoyed the food and walking tour of the Near North, Gold Coast, and Lincoln Park neighborhoods! Our guide, Nicki, was wonderful! Very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and fun! She helped to make the whole experience a very memorable one. All the restaurants and shops we visited were unique and had great food/products. I plan to do the Wicker Park/Bucktown walking tour in the future. I went on the tour with a friend and my daughter(she is 26) and we all would highly recommend this activity, to tourists and Chicago residents alike! |

| There was only three people in our group with our tour guide Jen. She was engaging, knowledgeable, and awesome. She customized our tour and adapted to the many questions we had. We went from 11:00-2:45 and the time flew by. Very cool tour and it is highly recommended if you don't have a lot of time or if you are just entering Chicago. Thanks Jen! |

| The tour was better than I anticipated. I learned a lot, tried great food and got a chance to see some of the city. It definitely went beyond my expectations. Our tour guide was wonderful - she was funny, informative and very helpful. |

| I got a call from my cousin that his girlfriend surprised him with a trip to Chicago. I had been unable to go out for his birthday in Minneapolis, so I thought I'd surprise them with a food tour. I searched the web and the Near North Tour looked highly credible. I bought their tickets and told them where to go and when. They absolutely loved it, thought that they got to see a side of the city that they never would have seen otherwise. They said that there was a lot of walking, but that it was enjoyable in the Spring. They particularly liked the Olive Oil stop and the Pizza at Bocino's.
I would highly recommend this as a gift for someone travelling to Chicago. I lived there for four years in college and I know the great food Chicago has to offer. I was happy to be able to share that with my cousin by buying them these tickets. |

| My wife and I did the Near North tour this weekend for my 31st birthday. It was so great. We live out in the Chicago suburbs and get into the city about once or twice a month. This was something completely different than the normal Mag Mile walking, eating at the Grand Lux, and whatever tourist stuff we typically do. I highly recommend that everyone do this tour. I can't wait to do the Bucktown/Wicker Park tour soon! |
