A delightful experience of Chicago's neighbourhood
Mon, Jul 28, 08   11:00 AM Hussein Male 50-59 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
My wife & I thoroughly enjoyed this unique experience of the great city of Chicago. Our guide was very animated and thoroughly knowledgeable. We visited 8 different food places, but I would like to recommend that they substitute at least one of the chocolate tastings for a visit to an ice cream parlour (very welcome during those hot summer days!) Our best tasting was the Tea Shop "TeaGschwender" which proved to be most informative for something we take daily and for granted. The iced-tea served for tasting was very welcome - Pity we did not have time to make purchases at the food-stops! WE LOVE YOU CHICAGO!

The food tour was an exceptional experience because the groups are small enough to make it a personal experience. I love to cook and our 19 year old son is committed to healthy eating and learning about the oils, spices and heart healthy pizza were inspiring to him. He also happens to be a civil engineering major with a love for history so this was perfect for him. My husband and other son also enjoyed the experience, my husband because you get to visit with all the rest of the group while you walk, and my 17 year old because of the chocolate and the pizza. We also loved visiting with the other foodies on the tour-ours was a wonderful mix of international, United States, and local people. I might also note that we went back later to purchase from the merchants and they willingly shared more information, gave discounts, and reaffirmed my thoughts that this was a great relationship you have with the merchants. Last but not least- Kent was engaging and knowledgeable-a perfect tour guide.

misnamed tour
Mon, Jul 28, 08   11:00 AM patriciamiln Female Unspecified Local Group of Friends
The tour was a pleasant walking experience with guide pointing out buildings of interest, however it is a mistake to call it a food tasting tour. Starting a tour at 11:00a.m. with a half a greasy potato pancake is a mistake. Ashkenaz Deli had other items that would have been more appropriate like some pastry. If someone is expecting wonderrful tastings from great resturants this is not the tour for them. Since I live in the Chicago area I expected a different experience and was disappointed but I guess if your from Kansas you loved it.

Our leader, a young man, was entertaining with lots of information. I enjoyed the small shops and historical tidbits, but there was actually very little food and a rather long walk between the last two stops.

I would suggest this tour to not only out of towner, but Chicagoan's as well. I'm thinking of getting gift certificates for some of my freinds birthdays.

I went with my mother on this tour. We had an unbelievable time. Our guide, Jennifer was wonderful and so full of information. I can't say enough positive things about it. It was such a great way to se Chicago, which can be a very overwhelming city if you have never visited before. The tour and Jennifer made us feel more like locals than tourists and all the food tastings were great. I was a bit skeptical about doing the tour at first, but I am so glad I did. I would recommend this to everyone!

We had a great time!

My husband and I are former Suburban Chicagoans, now living in Virginia, visiting my mother in a nursing home. We really enjoyed this unique tour. We saw parts of Chicago that we have not enjoyed before. We learned much. And, of course, we enjoyed tasty samples. We learned about, blintzes, teas, oils, vinegars, spices, chocolates, and spinach pizza. It was a lively quick paced tour. That's a good thing. A great walk on a beautiful day! We had a great time! I emailed some of the sites offering coupons. TeaGschwendner, The Spice House, and Old Town Oil say they will honor their coupons. Ethel's chocolate lounge will not. The Fudge Pot website was down.

Just a wonderful tour

My family and I had a GREAT time on this tour! The guide was informative, funny, and very amicable, and the food was delicious -- even the things we thought would be questionable! Who knew oil could be so tasty? I'd recommend this trip for anyone who'd like an introduction to Chicago that's a little off the beaten path.

This tour was pretty good. We would have liked more information about the neighborhoods, and one of the stops was not necessary (catering company), but overall this was a good overview of the Gold Coast, Old Town, and Lincoln Park areas.

My friends and I had a GREAT time on the Food Tour! We had some yummy tasting along the way of our great outdoor walk in neighborhoods that we hadn't visited before. I would highly recommend the tour. The guide was very knowledgeable, energetic and funny.

A Great Walk
Sat, Jul 26, 08   12:30 PM 2128cook Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
WE had a great guide who always found the shade for us to pause in. The food places were all great but especially liked the tea shop and the chocolate fudge place. It was a very nice way to see more of those Chicago neighborhoods and we got some good restaurant recommendations as well. We will do this again when you have more neighborhoods. Thanks.
