| We were really happy with the array of interesting stops, foods and information. We have been on food tours in other cities and felt that this was the best. The pace of the tour was great and at no point did we get restless or anxious to keep moving. It was great! |

I highly recommend this tour!

| I had a great time on the food tour.
It was a beautiful day for walking through Chicago and I didn't feel guilty for indulging in all the yummy treats along the way since I knew I was getting some exercise in!
I was expecting to taste some local favorites (which I did), but I was surprised at how much I learned about the city's history and architecture. I really enjoyed our tour guide's energy- he was charming, friendly, and kept us entertained all day!
This is a great tour for any Chicago visitors who want an inside look at the city's rich culinary background.

| It was a very enjoyable day. Our tour guide, Nikki, did a great informative tour. The shops that we stopped at were impressive, and courteous. However, I feel for the price that was paid, a variety of more food should have been provided at every place we stopped. |

Very enjoyable - both the food and the culture

| This was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. The $40 was well worth the money spent (but be warned - driving in from the suburbs and parking in Water Tower parking garage added $26 to the cost of the outing).
The tour guide, Nicki, was very knowledgeable about the 3 neighborhoods covered during the 3+ hour walk, and very entertaining.
The food tastings were great - a nice variety. It was nice to visit the local "mom and pop" type of shops that need our business to thrive.
I would highly recommend this tour. |

| We had Jen as our tour guide. She did a great job guiding us through the Chicago tour. I was on the tour with my parent while they were up visiting me in Chicago. The tour was made up of 8 people, which was a good size.
I found out about the tour from metromix. It was great. Jen mentioned that there might be a Chicago loop tour going south. That would be a good idea. I would like to do the tour again next year, but with different spots.
We went back that day and the next to the merchants and used some of the coupons that were handed out with the tour packet.

| As a local, with out of town guests, this was a fun activilty for everyone. I learned about shops that I didn't know existed in the city and everyone enjoyed the great food. I highly recommend this tour (if you are into food!) |

| We are a group of women that travel together once a year. We love chocolate. Both the food and distance were traveled were perfect. We got to see a part of Chicago we probably would of never seen.
We could not of asked for a better tour guide. She made everyone feel very comfortable. And she was full of information. Some of the women really don't walk to much and for them it was just perfect. Plus we learned alot about spices and oil and tea.
I am the one that booked it and they gave me a gold star for the day. Sometimes it's hard to find things for us today that everybody can enjoy.
I would highly recomend this tour. Sue Niebur
