Unique tour for all walks of life.
Fri, May 30, 08   11:30 AM amyjoyallen Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
I booked this tour because it was something I knew I would like. Most of the folks that went in our group (of 6) didn't do as much cooking or baking as I did so, I wasn't sure if they would enjoy it as much as. As it turned out we spend all of our day retracing our steps going back to stores we saw or eating at recommended restaurants during the rest of our stay in Chicago. Our entire group got into the history and food as much, if not more than I did. Our tour guide was friendly and kept us off the beaten path. It was the best part of our time in Chicago. Do note though they say for all fitness types, but the tour was not for those who can't stand for at least 3 hours or walk at a brisk pace for that period of time.

Fun entertaining great walk
Fri, May 30, 08   11:00 AM kyliedog Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
Stores chosen were informative was hoping for the artisan bakery . A true foodie would be disappointed with general type info, but still fun and helped find the little shops you would never find. Thanks Food planet. Keep looking for the new neighborhood to tour.

Was the best part of my vacation!
Thu, May 29, 08   11:00 AM cgreenhaw Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
I really enjoyed the tour. The tour guides are fun and hip and very friendly. The tour goes through downtown the way a local would. I have already raved to my friends and family that the tour was the best part of my vacation. I loved the different stores and the houses. I have already ordered from two of the stores. I definatly suggest going on the tour at the begining of your trip so you can see Chicago in a calm and relaxed environment.

Venues visited interesting with plenty of samples
Tue, May 27, 08   11:00 AM Traceyhill Female 40-49 International Tourist(s) Individual
The meeting point was convenitent but the tour leader (also a fitness instructor) conducted the tour at such a brisk walking pace it felt like being route marched through the city, although the day was cold her desire to sprint through the streets meant the group sturggled, indeed two people left the tour such was the frantic pace. The stops were however unhurried and interesting although as shopping on the tour is not allowed it meant that if one wanted to make a purchase it had to be on a return visit or online. The leader seemed oblivous to the needs of the individiuals inthe group although her commentary was interesting. It would be better to either plan the tour aournd shops closer to each other (at one point it was over a twenty minute walk to the next stop) or have fewer stops so the walking pace is not so frantic. I have taken a similar but much better tour in San Francisco wear at some points the group joined the hop on hop off bus tour which was much more enjoyable. Only one for the very fit .

This Past Week-End's Walking Food Tour
Sun, May 25, 08   1:00 PM lesueuj Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
Overall this walking tour was very good--informative, entertaining, and interesting. Our speaker/guide--Shane--really knew his subject matter and was able to answer most of our questions. The walking tour is spread out pretty well so there are breaks between walking to stop in the stores being visited on the tour. I can understand why it was impractical to stay along enough at each venue to do some actual shopping but this would be a great addition to the tour as many of us on the tour were unable to make return trips to the stores later the same day or the next day, etc. based on being in Chicago from out of town.

Fun, worthwhile afternoon adventure
Sun, May 25, 08   1:00 PM angelafra Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
We both thoroughly enjoyed the tour; our guide, Shane, was personable and took good care of the group. His commentary on the architecture and neighborhoods we visited was an extra plus. The food stops were fun; favorites were the pizza place and the oil and vinegar shop. And the chocolate was delicious! One suggestion: We would suggest dropping the deli and the second chocolate shop and providing about 10 minutes in the oil and spice shops and maybe tea store for a quick shopping adventure. Because the tour covered so much area, it wasn't practical to get back to shop if you have limited time on your visit. And the stores and helpful owners were very appealing. Would definitely recommend this tour to others. And thanks to Shane for a nice afternoon.

We purchased two tickets for myself and my spouse. We have found that these tours offer you exposure to parts of the city we might not have seen otherwise. We enjoyed it very much and will be searching for these types of tours every time we go to a new city. Chris Sonntag

A trip worth taking the time to do
Sun, May 25, 08   11:30 AM MarlysJPrior Female 70+ Unspecified Other
We enjoyed seeing the different neighborhoods and all the tasting stops were great. We will go back to this area on our own. We would have liked to walk a little slowly so we could have taken in all the area around us. Our tour guide was great. I would recommend this to anyone.

A great time was had by all :)
Sun, May 25, 08   11:30 AM afernandes2 Female 30-39 Combination Family With Children
I thoroughly enjoyed the tour, as did everyone in our group. The tour guide was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and entertaining and the tastings were great. It would have helped me to know that we were basically snacking until close to the end, I would have eaten something beforehand...but it was still great :)

DO NOT MISS THIS TOUR!
Sun, May 25, 08   11:00 AM PeggyY Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
I am so glad that I booked this tour online. It was fabulous! Our tour guide, Emily, was wonderful - nice, thoughtful, knowledgable! The stops we made were really interesting and delicious! I loved the spice shop! I had never been to a vinegar and oil shop and enjoyed it tremendously. The pizza lunch was a nice stop. In fact, all the food stops were great. The walk was long, but very interesting and took us to neighborhoods that we wouldn't have visited on our own. Plus you need to walk a lot to walk off all the food! This tour was terrific!
