A Fun Outing

| The enthusiam, sense of humor and energy level of the tour guide was 80% of the tour. We had a great time. The fact that we walked quite a distance was offset by the fact that there would be FOOD at the next stop! Each stop was an adventure. Our guide kept everyone on their toes by his interactive repartee. The description of the tour stated that we would be walking 3 miles and need to find our own transport back. We had arranged a car from the hotel to meet us in Old Town after we stopped for a drink, but another couple planned on walking back, they were already dead-tired and were afraid of getting lost. | ||||||

| I really enjoyed our tour. I have already been on many tours of Chicago but I learned even more - our guide was very informative. I enjoyed walking through the different parts of the city and seeing many of the neighborhoods and restaurants that I have read about or seen in the local news. I was not left hungry - there was plenty of food and it was all delicious! I did think that we would be having more " Chicago reknown" foods such as deep dish pizza , a Chicago style hot dog, frango and Elis - but it was not missed. It is a great tour for natives who may want to learn the city better. | ||||||

| Overall, the tour was great. We learned a lot about the neighborhoods as well as different types of food and drink. Great day and lots of walking. The only recommendation I would have is to bring a bottle of water with you. Thanks for the great day! | ||||||

| My husband and I had been on the Food and Cultural tour in NYC for Greenwhich Village. It was outstanding! We were a little dissapointed with this one. First we thought a bottle of water should have been given at the beginning. I don't think it was appropriate for the tour guide to mention gratuities at the start of the tour. If you want to mention it on the ticket or website fine. Our guide in NYC never mentioned it and everyone knew what to do. It comes off classier. Their weren't many tastings. And while I appreciated the uniqueness of the places nothing was too outstanding. | ||||||

| Overall, if you want a chance to explore neighborhoods of Chicago, the food tour is the way to go. The introduction to areas of Chicago not included in most tourist maps is what makes this food tour special. The food's variety and quality were excellent, and really gave you a feel for the history and feel for the local scene and culture. One minor recommendation: I would have prefered if the pizza included on the tour was authentic Chicago deep dish pizza. While the pizza we had was very good, it was something I could have gotten from home. Many friends of mine from Chicago told me if I visited that I should have deep dish pizza, and so this was something I expected from the tour. | ||||||

| My friend and I signed up for this tour as something different to do while our husbands enjoyed a Cub/Cardinal ballgame. We thoroughly enjoyed the walk, food, and had fun getting to know the other people taking the tour. The tour leader was personable, interesting, and had a good sense of humor. It was fun to walk through the various neighborhoods and I feel comfortable to return to some of the stops for lunch or shopping in the future. I hope that the tours expand to more neighborhoods......Chinatown, Little Italy, etc. My friend and I would definitely do another tour with this company. | ||||||

| We chose this tour because we wanted to take our baby and this walking tour welcomed a stroller. The tour was fantastic. Not only did we sample some wonderful food, but we also learned some great history about the city of Chicago. We highly recommend this tour! | ||||||

| My wife and I had a wonderful. Shane was a very good tour guide with a pleasant personality. We enjoyed his explanation of the history of the areas through which we walked. The locations where we stopped to taste food were representative of the different types of food in Chicago. Shane made a comment on the walk about a man who made delicious cheeses. That might be considered for a stop. We would recommend the tour to anyone. | ||||||

| A very interesting activity. Shane our guide (think that was his name) was energetic, funny, and knowledgable about the places we visited and the foods we tasted. I have highly recommended this tour to my friends/family. The only thing I would suggest would be to (if possible) include a food tasting with a little more protein/dairy at the start of the walk. Stopping at a cheese store/deli to sample some great cheeses and or salami's would be wonderful. I also would add maybe 5 - 10 minutes more to each stop. Felt a little rushed near the end of the tour. | ||||||

| Shane your concept for this company is great! You have found 7 great places to take your tourists to really show them some Chicago culture, history, and yummy food and drinks!!! I would order some of the items on the tour through your very helpful tour sheet (including websites and addresses). The only PROBLEM I found was that there was NO time for a little shopping at the selected locations. It was like bringing a kid into a toy store and showing them all the great toys, but you couldn't buy anything (during the tour). I did feel rushed when you let me buy something, but at least I tried. My suggestion is that you include an extra 5 minutes at each venue so that people may have the option to purchase the great products they are seeing. The chances are that most people do not know the streets of Chicago as well as you do and don't have the time or the chance to get back to those locations on their short stays!! Just a thought! Either way, it was great!!!! ENJOY YOUR SUCCESS! | ||||||

| My wife loved it all. She was drawn to the comments about the architecture and enjoyed the food visits, especially the pizza and chocolate at the fudge place. (She is especially attracted to the city because she can see another of her dearest cousin's work: the bandshell at Millennium Park.) I share her enthuisiasm, however, I did find that the walk between "events" was a bit tedious and long without too much along the way to reccommend it. e.g. -we were shown a handsomely carved red door and told it was "the most photographed door in Chicago," we were not told why or what the door was about. Learning about the neighbourhoodfs was good - Lincoln Park., Gold Coast, Old Town - all worth the time. I was not sure about standing outside a restaurant and being told it was the best of whatever style of cooking it held. Good. But it might have been nice to step inside and experience why. On the other hand our guide was warm and entertaining and demonstrated what is most needed in a guide: enthusiasm for his subject. He really loves the city. Finally I would like to have travelled less and seen more. Someone please tell him what the Manodnack (I may have spelling it wrong) building is and why it is important to the understanding of why Chicago is the founder of American architecture. Finally, the upshot of the tour is that my wife can't wait to return to Chicago. | ||||||
