OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE OF CHICAGO HAD BY ALL

| Our group consisted of our 23 year old daughter who works in the sears tower, our 21 year old daughter fresh from college graduation, my husband and myself, and another couple who have been our friends for many years. we have all traveled widely and this food tour was something special and different. I had taken the food tour last fall and LOVED IT. though I had been to chicago many times the food tour was the most excellent way to learn about a fascinating area, enjoy the tastes and scents of many great shops, and enjoy the easy-going atmosphere of visiting with new friends and just plain have a great afternoon. It was the highlight of the trip for all my family and friends. We enjoyed every sampling, and as I wrote earlier, I would only suggest that the final location, ethel's chocolate, have one of the people who make the chocolates come out and talk about them AND mention that they have another shop on miracle mile. the printing on the special chocolates is so great; the TASTES were lucious and so different from anything else, and I think the prices are good. Visiting with the spice place manager caused some of us to purchase a few items, and we will surely order items since we collected their brochure. Ethels could do just a little more, I thought. Another suggestion I would make is to add a visit to one of the little shops that sell clothes designed by one of the local designers. Chicago has a fashion presence and I feel sure we must have walked by some little boutique that could show off this dimension of the area. yes, it is hard not to let us buy things. but I took the tour a SECONDTIME and made a few purchases. forgot to use the coupons...oh, well. I vote you all 5 stars regards, sheri constantin | ||||||

| My wife and I really enjoyed the tour. It was very informative and took us to places we would probably not have found on our own. The food was really interesting - and tasty but it was good have information given about other aspects of Chicago such as architecture. | ||||||

| It was a great neighborhood adventure. We all learned some history, some trivia and about all those little out of the way really nice shops that are fun and interesting in the various neighborhood's. Was so nice just too be able to look around and listen to our group leader with out having to check a map for directions. Some wonderful toffee at the Fudge Pot. Learn how to make a proper cup of tea at Gschwendner. The cheese at Cobey Foods was soooo good as well as the pizza at O"Fame'. The Spice House was nice becasue of being able to taste the hugh variety of spices on their shelves. Looking forward to taking my friends when they come to town to take the tour with me and to having a Ruben at Ashkenaz Deli where the aroma when we walked in was mouth watering. The walking pace was just right and the guide had a lot of knowledge about the area and was a lot of fun and made us all feel very comfortable and pampered. Would recommend it a must when in the city. | ||||||

| The guide was very knowledgeable & entertaining. He made a point of remembering our names & where we were from. The variety of types of places that we visited was excellent. I know that time was at a premium but the visits seemed " rushed". | ||||||

| We can't speak highly enough of this tour. It was extremely well organized, with a good balance of walking and tasting. The variety of food sampled was just right, too -- enough that we certainly didn't walk away hungry but not so much that we could barely move afterwards. Our guide, Shayne (not sure of the spelling), was great fun. Even as locals, we learned something new about the neighborhoods, and he kept everything lively and entertaining. Raves all around. | ||||||

A Foodie's Delight

| I don't prefer chain restaurants and this is not about promoting national chains. It's about what is unique in the Chicago Food scene. Great recommendations for restaurants that weren't even part of the tasting. Good Exercise and informative. I got a great feel for the city. Although most people would probably think 2 chocolate places is a great idea I would have preferred that there not be 2 chocolate places, but rather a different type of cuisine...even a chocolate place and a dessert place. In spite of this, I would highly recommend, as the restaurants were tasty and great to visit again after the food tour was over. Oh yeah, you will leave full -even someone with a very hearty appetite...there is a lot of food to taste! | ||||||

| This tour was very beneficial to those who have seen the city of Chicago because it gave them the chance to view the sights and the stores on the outskirts of the city limits. Three towns were visited, Gold Coast, Old Town, and Lincoln Park. Some of the boutique shops were very interesting to tour but the chocolate shops and the pizza restaurant were my favorite. I felt that the price for the tour was a little bit too much for the amount of food that was tasted. The types of food tasted such as cheese, potato pancake, and spices hardly were enough to fill one's appetite yet the iced tea, pizza, and two chocolate samples were enough to wet an appetite for the main course. Our tour guide, Nikki, was very educated about the tour and also very entertaining. An overall rating for the trip would be an 8 out of 10. | ||||||

| I enjoyed the walking tour and learning about the suburbs of Chicago. It was as interesting as the food we tasted. The bulk of the food came toward the end the the tour so be sure and eat lunch if you have the 2PM tour. It was not enough food for my husband but enough for me! A great girlfriend/ girl's day out thing to do!! | ||||||
