| My co-workers and I very much enjoyed this walking tour. It was a great opportunity to see neighborhoods that I ordinarily wouldn't have and experience the culture there. The food was terrific and the guide was very knowledgable. One suggestion: please allow 10-15 minutes after each stop for members to shop. I know the businesses would appreciate it. I would have bought several things if I'd had time, but I was not able to come back afterward. I'd rather add 30 minutes to the tour than miss out on taking home some of the great products we sampled. | ||||||

Great tour, even for locals!

| I went on the Sunday tour. We left on time after a brief introduction of our group and an overview of what we'd be doing. At each stop (and en route), Jenn was informative and her energy was great. The vendors obviously thought a lot of her. I learned a lot at each stop and ate a lot .... The blend of shops was terrific and Jenn's knowledge of each area was impressive and colourful! I would definitely suggest this to friends visiting Chicago with the added comment to do it as a first event and giving you time to return to the shops while you are there. Cheers! | ||||||

| I recently went on the North tour with a couple of friends. We were all looking forward to it. We were not disappointed. The stores/restaurants are interesting and different. Learning about tea, spices, and the stories behind each place was really cool. I recommend this for people new to Chicagoland and the locals that may not know the area! Definetly doing the other tour in the spring! | ||||||

| Our tour guide (Jessie) really made this tour wonderful! She was energetic and knowledgeable about Chicago food, architecture, and culture - and very obviously loved the city! The stops on the tour were excellent and I thought the setup in advance of tasting materials, etc. very lovely as all we had to do was show up. I enjoyed the Spice shop most of all, but all of the tour stops were interesting and reflected a variety of culinary interests. The tour length was perfect and (again) I can't say enough about our fantastic tour guide! | ||||||

| I ENJOYED OUR TOUR, THE SHOPS WERE WONDERFUL IT IS NOT FAIR THAT WE ARE NOT ABLE TO SHOP AND USE COUPONS GIVEN. AFTER TOUR WE HAD TO CATCH A FLIGHT AND CAB TO GET OUR LUGGAGE. THE CANDY SHOP WOULD DO MORE BUSINESS IF THEY HAD ON LINE SERVICES. I HAVE ORDERED ALMOST $500. WORTH OF PRODUCTS YESTERDAY. I LOVED OUR TOUR GUIDE SHE WAS HELPFUL AND KNOWLEDGEABEL. I WOULD RECOMEND IT TO MY FRIENDS I AM FROM THERE AND WOULD HAVE NOT FOUND THE PLACES WITHOUT THE TOUR. THANK YOU, ANITA | ||||||

| My husband and I spent the day downtown for his birthday and went on the Near North tour. Our tour guide was Nicki. She was great. We enjoyed every aspect of the tour. The food tastings and the restaurants/stores that we toured were all interesting and very good. We learned a lot about different oils, spices and also some of the architecture of Chicago. Even though we live in a suburb of Chicago we felt like we were on vacation for a day. My husband loved his birthday gift and we already and will continue to recommend this to others. The tour was a little over 3 hrs long and there's no need to worry about lunch since they fill you up. I will definately be doing the other tour (Bucktown area) in the spring whenever we get a chance. | ||||||

| What a great way to explore Bucktown and Wicker Park. I learned a ton of fun facts about the local restaurants and local food. I also loved the neighborhood part of the tour, learning about the architecture and history of the area. This would be a great way for tourists to Chicago to explore a part of the city that's off the beaten path. But it's also a fun way for locals to learn about their city and get an inside view at local gems. | ||||||

| I went with a group of girlfriends and had an awesome time. Our guide was Ariana, and she's pretty much the reason we had such a great time. She gave us tons of fun facts about the architecture and inside stories on the stores we toured. She kept things very interesting for us. The amount of time we had in each store was limited, which is understandable, but we weren't able to make any purchases on the tour. That's the only thing I would change, everything else was great! Thanks:) | ||||||

Great day with the girls!

| We had such a great time. Good food, good info, great tour guide! The only bad thing was that we wanted to buy things and because it would take too much time they wouldn't let us. It would be nice if the stores put together small sample packs, worth $5 or $10, we could have bought quickly upon leaving. If we were notified to bring $5 or $10 bills in for that reason I would have come stacked with them! I really can't complain, everything was great. Highly recommended for tourists and locals! | ||||||

| What a great tour! Very well organized and we had an extremely personable guide. Particularly enjoyed the presentations at the tea and spice shops. A tasty way to explore the city - more food than I'd normally eat for lunch. | ||||||

| I took the Near North Food Tour on a beautiful Saturday in a group of 8 girls and we all had a ball. The number one part of our tour was Arianna, our tour guide. She was very nice, VERY knowledgeable, and kept us interested throughout the tour. Trust me when I say I am the kid who never listened during field trips in school, but Arianna made it interesting! The architecture and stories were just as good as the food. I liked the balance of substantial food (reuben at Ashkinaz deli, chocolate at the Fudge Pot, pizza at our final stop, Bacino's) vs. smaller and less filling stops in between (spices, oils, iced tea). We were always satisfied, but not full until we ate our pizza at the last stop, which was perfect. This is not a "pig out" tour by any means... it is what it says it is, a walking tasting tour. But with the bonus of very cool architecture, excercise, scenery, and conversation. I think my only suggestion for improvement would be some sort of shopping option. I know its not feasible and takes too much time, but if there were some sort of pre-determined items we could buy that would have been cool. The coupons were nice and I have already ordered Christmas gifts from a couple of the stops, but I think they should all be available online, since we can't shop and some people can't stay downtown afterwards (ahem, Oil Tree... I would have bought if I could use my coupon online). Other than that minor complaint, it was a wonderful experience, and I have already told several other friends they have to go. Thanks Arianna! They are LUCKY to have you! | ||||||
