Well worth it!

The food tour is definitely well worth the price. No only do you get a chance to taste great food, but a cultural tour is included!

a great tour, it tells a lot in a short time.

we didn't have of time to see every thing in chicago, so that tour came as the best thing to see alot in the city in a very short time, the tour was great, we wouldn't pay attention for most of those details if we were walking by it. but once they tell you about you really enjoy every minute of that trip. food was not much, we expected to eat more since they tell you that you going to taste a lot so we didn't eat breakfast that day, but if i would go again, i'll have breakfast at the morning. the best activity was the pizza place, it's amazing but we realized after the trip was over that the best part was the walking by all these nice places. to enjoy it the most, we recommend to go on the tour on you first day there and after that go all over the city by your selves so you can stop by those places and enjoy the city the most. over all it's a five star activity if you don't expect to eat a lot

Great Tour!

My husband and I really enjoyed this tour. We are both unfamiliar with Chicago but felt that this tour helped us get our bearings. We also figured out where to get a great meal and where the good shopping is. This tour introduced us to neighborhoods we otherwise wouldn't have seen. Our tour guides (one was in training) were great! They were willing and able to answer just about every question we asked them. For what we got, this tour was an absolute bargain.

Food Tour Review
Fri, May 9, 08   11:00 AM Schoeneberg Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
The tour was actually more fun than we had anticipated! We really enjoyed touring some of Chicago and eating some food along the way. Thought the tour time was about right; maybe a little long. Would only recommend not having as many chocolate stops. By the time we got to the last stop (Ethel's), chocolate really wasn't what we wanted. We sensed that from the group as well. Overall, we truly enjoyed the tour and really like our guide. She did a great job!

A Comparitive Reveiew

If you've done the Greenwich Village food tour in NYC, you might be disappointed in this Chicago version as the food isn't nearly as good nor as plentiful. Nevertheless, I found the Chicago tour interesting and a good way to become familiar with some of it's neighborhoods.

Fun, delicious and informative

I thoroughly enjoyed the Food Tour. The weather was gorgeous and that added to the tour's appeal, especially as we walked everywhere. I loved the areas we went through and the places we stopped at, which were nice and varied. I also enjoyed the fact that we were a group of only 6 plus our leader Nikki. It made for a very relaxed atmosphere. A group of 16 (the maximum number allowed) would probably be a little less personal and more rushed. Nikki was a great person - friendly, fun, interesting and enthusiastic. I particularly loved the two chocolate places we visited. I would have liked to stop and buy some of the amazing chocolate products at The Fudge Shop but we didn't have time. I made up for that at Ethel's Chocolate Lounge though. The tour is well organised, and all the necessary information is provided on booking and in the subsequent email you receive. If you get a chance to do the Food Tour, you should!

Great time!
Tue, May 6, 08   11:00 AM deannalawson Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
The tour guide (yeah, Nikki!) had a great personality and made the tour fun. It was a small group, so we had lots to eat. I retraced our path and made some great purchases. The stores were happy to ship for me, since I was traveling by air. I wore a comfortable pair of shoes and still ended up with a blister. Another lady on the tour stopped and purchased shoes before she returned to her hotel. WEAR THE MOST COMFORTABLE SHOES YOU OWN!!

WOW, this was great!!

We heard about this from a friend and we started reading the reviews online. We read positive and negative reviews, but overall we were intrigued by the "Taste of Chicago" and decided to go ahead and book the tour. We met at the starting location and were met by Nikki our tour guide. We were so excited because all of the reviews that we read about Nikki were wonderful. The tour took us through 3 neighborhoods, all unique in their own way. We tasted several different kinds of foods, all were great. Surprising enough, the olive oil and vinegar tasting was our favorite! Along the way Nikki told us interesting facts about the food, buildings, and neighborhoods along the tour route. It was so interesting to learn about the city in this way. We HIGHLY recommend that you do this tour early in your visit to Chicago, that way you can go back to the neighborhoods and stores. This tour really helped us to feel comfortable in the city. We do warn that this tour is a lot of walking, but it is at a slow even pace, totally manageable. We were tired at the end, but not so much that it left a negative impact on us, we even went to the Sears Tower after the tour. We read in the reviews that you are hungry after the tour, we did not experience this in the least, we were very satisfied! Go on this tour and have fun, we did!! And try to get Nikki as your tour guide, she's the best. We do recommend checking the weather forecast before you book the tour, we did this and the day we picked was absolutely beautiful, the best of the week.

I really enjoyed the tour. The guide was very knowledgable of the area and added a lot of additional suggestions for dining in the city. She was enthusiastic about the restaurants we visited and knew their history.

I had a great time on this tour. I have been to chicago many times and came with some work friends who wanted to go. I really enjoyed the tour and had a lot of fun. Our guide was great. I can't remember her name but we went on 5/5/08 in the morning and she did a super job showing us around. Thanks so much! I would (and did) recommend it highly to my friends.

We had a GREAT tour with a very nice young person. It was an informative, friendly tour with a with a 'lovely' tour guide. The 'tastings' were very good. We gave the tour information to our hotel people, [Renaissance Hotel] who did not know of this walking tour. THANKS Richard Jarzobski

Great tour to take your visitors on!
Sun, May 4, 08   11:00 AM marlaa Female 30-39 Local Group of Friends
I am a local and went on the tour with 2 friends who were visiting me from out of town. Not only did they enjoy getting to see some things off the beaten path from the usual tourist attractions (and the food), I actually was introduced to one food store I had never even been into that I will now go back to again and again. Great find!

Great exercise, fun foods, interesting details...
Sun, May 4, 08   11:00 AM Mangum Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
We loved this walking tour and enjoyed learning more about the architecture and food than we ever would have if trying to see this on our own. The tour guide was very knowledgable and shared with us some of the inside stuff you don't read about in the guide books. I highly recommend this tour to first timers and experienced Chicago travelers alike.

Great Off-the-beaten-path Tour.
Sun, May 4, 08   11:00 AM karren18 Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
I planned this tour as an anniversary gift for my boyfriend since we were vacationing in Chicago. Needless to say, he had a great time. Its perfect to do on a sunny day and to find hidden gems in Chicago that you would not usually expect to find as a tourist. My favorite was TeaGshwender (very informative), oil and vinegar tasting (very unique), Bacino's Pizza (sooo much better than Gino's East), and Ethel's Chocolate Lounge (very cute and charming--wish we had this back home in LA). If you are a first timer in Chicago, don't mind some walking, a definite foodie, and want to have a different but satisfyng experience then this tour is definitely for you.
