Tasty food and fun tour
Fri, Jul 10  11:30 AM higaye Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Kate was our guide and she was great - so easy-going, informative and energetic! The food stops were perfect. The areas we traveled were interesting and attractive. After the last stop, my friend and I headed back over to Wells Street to buy stuff from 2 stores with our discount coupons. We just had to buy some of that amazing olive oil and balsamic vinegar - they shipped it to us on the west coast for a minimal charge! The spice shop was our next stop - these items were small enough and light enough to carry back in our suitcases. We ran out of time and had to catch a taxi back to our meeting, but our plan is to buy some things online once back home! We took the tour on our first day in the city to get a good overview of Old Town, Lincoln Park and the Gold Coast, just in case we had time to return for shopping or eating. This was a GREAT way to see these areas of Chicago.

This was the first trip to Chicago for my wife and I. The tour was the highlight of our trip! Great insights into the city, along with some terrific food tastings. Highly recommended.

We took this tour with my 13 year old daughter and 15 year old nephew. We all enjoyed it, but I think my daughter enjoyed it as much as anyone. The chocolate and pizza were amazing. In fact I think I will crave that pizza until I go back to Chicago. The oil tasting was exceptional. I only wish they would have had plastic bottlles or some way for us to transport back home. Surprisingly when we asked what was everyone's favorite, my daughter replied the spice tasting. They have a really cool backyard area, where we learned about cinnamon and she loved sprinkling different spices into her hand to try. My only complaint would be that we were not allowed to shop while we were there. I understand that it would make the tour last too long but we didn't have time to get back to the early shops in the tour before we had to fly home and that was disappointing.

Everyone who is physically able to take the walking tour- should sign up. It is interesting from so many standpoints- enjoying the landscape, seeing the neighborhoods, learning some history and trivia- not to mention the food tour!!! Nicky- was well-versed in her knowledge of all the locations on the tour- but also in each area along the way- and even areas that weren't part of the tour. She was enthusiastic and helpful to each of us. Truly an enjoyable day and a very worthwhile tour- different than the typical tourist stuff.

Our Tour Guide Was Amazing
Fri, Jun 1, 07   11:00 AM hermis1986 Male 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
Our tour guide knew what she was talking about. She was experienced in her area having been a tour guide for 5+ years in Italy. She knew so much about Chicago and was able to share it with us. She was very personable and made me and my wife feel as if we were the only ones on the tour. I learned so much from her about Chicago and about the places that we stopped at on our tour. The foods were amazing but the entertainment was even better. At the end of the tour we mixed up our directions and ending up following the rest of the group to there stop when we need to go in the other directions. Our tour guidw was nice enough to take us in her car to catch the "L". She said she was going in that direction anyway but it was very helpful to us. Our tourguide more than made the tour and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour it was worth every penny i spent and them some.

Our tour guide was EXCELLENT. She was very personable and shared so much information with our group. It was an enjoyable tour and great exercise, and we got to see parts of Chicago that we never have been to. The stops at the Spice Shop and Oils were outstanding. And so was the pizza stop. We wish we had more time at each of the stops for our purchases, although the coupons were much appreciated so that we could return at our leisure. We will look forward to our next visit to Chicago to experience another culinary and cultural tour with exercise!

Two girlfriends and I wanted to do something a "little different" than we normally do for a girl's day out. So we found the Chicago Food Tour. Since we LOVE food and wanted to do something in the city--it was perfect. We loved the tour, our guide was incredible--lots of energy and information along the walk. The tasters were enough to fill us by the time we were through. We had gotten some architectural facts, history, laughs, got to know our local neighborhoods, some exercise and had a lot of fun. Would highly recommend it to locals & out of towners alike! Thank you!

participants should be able to buy items on the tour as it is sometimes not possibble to return to the shops in one's own time due to time constraints, etc

A very good way to be introduced to this part of Chicago. History, architecture, food : a very pleasant mixture with a very nice guide. Gastronomy in Chicago? Oh, yes.

This tour was fantastic. The guide was brilliant. Very knowlegdable with a great manner. I learnt so much on this tour about the local area I'm living in. I would recommend this to anyone and might even do it again myself if I have guests from overseas. Thanks very much!

My daughter-in-law and I took the tour while our husbands were at a convention in Chicago. I was a lilttle skeptical when I signed us up; I found the site on the internet while searching for things for us to do in Chicago. I had nothing to base my decision on, but the tour sounded interesting. We genuinely enjoyed the tour very much; not even rain deterred our group. Our personal favorite was the gourmet tea experience and the custom spice shop... but the rest of the tastings were all fun, delicious and educational. Our group's leader was Shane - his personality was extremely pleasant and he made everyone in the group feel comfortable. The walking part of the tour was very informative and we saw so much of the north side neighborhoods and what is probably the true flavor of Chicago as it relates to everyday life in a city. We would go again and our husbands want to go next time. Diana Phillips Paso Robles, CA
