Wonderful Experience
Thu, Jun 25  11:30 AM RobertHorne Male 60-69 Unspecified Unspecified
My wife and I agree that this tour was the highlight of our trip to Chicago. Our tour guide, Kent, never stopped talking. He shared his architectural knowledge, restaurant reviews, history of the neighborhoods and personal experiences with great ease. All of the food we had from the Chicago dogs, iced chocolate drink, pasta salad, pizza and beer, falafel, and ice cream was excellent and enough for lunch and dinner. You can expect that we will pass our praises onto everyone we know that plan to visit Chicago. Thanks and we will see you again. As an afterthought, when the weather is hot, you might want to suggest that people bring bottled water. We did, but others did not.

Great Time

Our guide Jennifer was wonderful, her enthusiasm and knowledge of the area as well as of the history of the city and food was excellent. The stores/eateries were well chosen and their reception and offerings were very good. We were very lucky to have such a small group, 6 travelers, which made the whole event so much more enjoyable and relaxing. We really enjoyed being exposed to new areas of Chicago and Jen made the day trip one we will long remember. Thank you for making the experience available to newcomers/visitors to Chicago, we plan on returning! John & Linda

Must do tour!
Thu, Jun 25  12:00 PM kcarcara Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
This was a great tour of Wicker Park/Bucktown areas of Chicago. These are places we would never have gone to otherwise. Our guide was friendly and knew so much about the area and the history. Definitely would like to take the other tour, but the architectural information was a little long on a hot day in the city.

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
Fri, Jun 26  11:00 AM SarahDoran Female 50-59 Combination Family With Children
We really enjoyed the three towns and all the info about them and the architecture, etc. At the end of our tour (3 1/2 hrs), we had to run to catch another tour we'd booked, but would have liked to go back into some of the shops. I knew we weren't to buy food at the shops, but it wasn't clear ahead of time that we should have planned nothing afterward so that we could re-trace our steps. Thankfully, we can order things on-line. Jennifer, our guide, was terrific. She was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and very easy to understand and hear. She really helped make the tour great!

Wonderful experience in Chicago neighborhoods
Fri, Jun 26  11:00 AM royhoward Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
This was a delightful way to experience the unique shops and businesses in the neighborhoods of Chicago. Walking made the tour more intimate and fun and you were up close and personal rather than a ride by on a bus. There was more interaction with the tour guide and other members of the group. The tasting was great fun. The only negative of this tour was one of the stops where the workers were indifferent to us and gave the feeling we were a bother. I would like to see the Catering establishment changed to one of the Bakeries we saw in the area. Also, it would have been better if we could have purchased items during the tour. How many of the group had the time or took the effort to return to one of the stores to buy? All in all, this was one of most enjoyable and different tours I have taken.

Great tour of Old Town
Fri, Jun 26  11:00 AM bestrada Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We really enjoyed the tour and our guide, Jennifer, was terrific! This was our first visit to Chicago and we love to walk around and get a vibe for the area and eat at local places. We did a similar tour last year in New York, Greenwich Village - so we wanted to do a food tour in Chicago since they are well known for great restaurants. The stops on the Near North tour were good, and the food samples were good. It is a "stretch" to call it a food tour with a tea store, spice store and oil/vinegar store on the list of places to visit. The only real food samples were at the Jewish deli and the pizza place. The candy store was good and we got to sample English Toffee. The proprietor interacted with us, brought us behind the counter and demonstrated making candy. The employee at the tea store was very informative, too. Our tour guide, Jennifer, is passionate about her work, and really made a great effort to tell us interesting information about the area. She also helped us decide on other things to do with our remaining time in Chicago. I would recommend this tour to friends.

We really enjoyed the tour. The guide, Kate, was enthusiastic and informative. We saw a beautiful area of Chicago, made our own reuben with the best pastrami we've ever eaten, sampled some great candy, and learned about oils and vinegar as well as spices. It was a pleasant way to get a better feel for the area.

Foodies forever
Fri, Jun 26  11:30 AM freddyes Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
The 'Foodie North' tour is a great mix of food-tasting, Chicago history and architecture. The walking route is easy, scenic in places and very well-planned. Our guide Kate was terrific and we enjoyed every stop along the way. I'd highly recommend this 3-hour jaunt. If we had time, we probably would have also tried the other food tour through Bucktown and Wicker Park.

Great Surprises and Exercise
Fri, Jun 26  12:00 PM mahva7 Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
My beau and I were, and still are, quite pleased with our Near North tour. Nicki (sp?) was a great guide. She gave us interesting information and engaged us in great conversation. Our group was small, just one other couple, so we felt appreciative of Nicki's attentive manner. The food was great. We had dined at Malnati's the night before, and came to realize that we'd not had the best deep dish in Chicago until Friday afternoon. All of the food was great, and the nice weather was a bonus. We will certainly be doing this again!

Great day with great food
Sat, Jun 27  11:00 AM dave_julie Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
The tour was a lot of fun. Not as much eating as I expected, which was actually a good thing. We were given the opportunity to taste different types of foods and learn about spices, teas and oils as well. In addition, our tour guide was knowledgeable about the architecture which added to the tour. Ending the tour with a delicious slice of stuffed pizza was good too.

group outing
Sat, Jun 27  11:00 AM lynnsorman Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
My sorority sisters, some of whom are from the Chicago area, and I participated in this tour on Sat. June 28th and we loved every minute of it. We loved the knowledge and enthusiasm our tour guide brought to the tour. There was not as much food as I was originally lead to believe and there is a nice amount of walking. We had great weather so the walk was a pleasure. Too bad there was no Chicago hot dog included in the tour, but overall it is a must for enjoying the unique beauty of the city!!

Great time and interesting stops
Sat, Jun 27  11:00 AM Welter Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Enjoyed the tour and the walking pace was perfect to site see but keep moving. The Spice store with the presentation from Michael Erb was excellent. Did not care for the pizza. Know it was suppose to be the"best" but truthfully have had better. Our tour guide was friendly and informative.
