Great tour!

We really enjoyed ourselves on the tasting tour. Our tour guides Shane and Troy were fantastic- very informative and fun. Not being originally from Chicago, this was a great way to see parts of the city we have never really explored. Thanks for a fun day!

Food and so much more
Mon, Jul 23, 07   1:30 PM DeborahSilve Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
We knew there would be food-but the cultural part of the day was just as noteworthy. Our gude was very knowledgable about the food and the neighborhoods. The selection of shops that we visited was unique-a tea shop-a spice vendor as well as the chocolate, the pizza, the candy. We took three tours while in Chicago and this was without question the best. The information about the neighborhoods was extremely interesting. Our guide was fabulous. Hie combined information with breaks and kept us moving and involved the entire time. My daughter just moved to Chicago and she found the information very helpful.

Ask for Shane

We took the foodie tour on 7/23/07. Our tour was everything we expected and more. Shane did an outstanding job sharing information about the architecture, history and food. I was very impressed with his knowledge and obvious interest in the sites and facts he shared with us. I absolutely recommend the tour and Shane as a guide!

Delicious and Educational!!

I can't say enough good things about the food tour! I knew I'd be learning about and tasting new types of foods, and that was wonderful, but the cultural experience went above and beyond what I expected. Our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and a joy to listen to as as we walked and ate/drank our way through various neighborhoods. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who can walk the distance. Comfortable shoes are a must--I have the blisters to prove it :)

Fantastic way to see the City
Tue, Jul 24, 07   11:00 AM jpaniza Female 20-29 Combination Family Without Children
It is essentially a walking historic tour of Chicago's northside with food! The food was very good and there was a wide variety... from chocolate to tea to potato pancakes. Restaurants were spaced out along the route, so that you get to walk through beautiful neighborhoods hearing about their history, and then stop for a few minutes and sit-down and eat. I don't know that I would recommend it for very young children, or very old people who cannot walk very much, since the tour takes about 3 hours and covers a distance of about 3 miles. I strongly recommend it for groups of adults, whether they be out-of-town or "locals". For out-of-towners it is a great way to see a huge portion of the city, and for locals, it is a great way to find and try new restaurants!

A Great Way to See the City!
Tue, Jul 24, 07   11:00 AM waltercn Female 20-29 Combination Other
We had so much fun on this tour and experienced a great sampling of what Chicago has to offer. I had chaperoned a school field trip that took the food tour earlier in the spring and thought it would be a great opportunity to show my mother, aunt, and cousin around Chicago. This tour is great for anyone who is unfamiliar with the city or who lives around the city and wants a new way to experience the food and history of some of the best parts of Chicago. I would strongly recommend this tour to anyone. Both of the tour guides that I have seen were extremely friendly and made the 3 hours fun and entertaining. I can't say enough good things- what a treat!

Unique Chicago Experience
Thu, Jul 26, 07   11:00 AM rrosie Female 60-69 Local Group of Friends
The tour was informational as well as a lot of fun. The food tastings were good. It did require more walking than I expected, and with the warm weather that day, I and my friends were tired and sweaty at the end. Our guide was informed and entertaining.

Personal, informative, & tasty...!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the food tasting and walking tour. Our group was a cross section of the US and some folks from Wales. A casual and informative tour accompanied by some great samplings of foods and sweets (although it was a bit skewed toward the chocolates!) Learning about restaurant options along the way was an added touch and our tour host managed to do it without making it sound like advertising! We would recommend this to anyone as an interesting and different way to experience part of the culture of Chicago.

Great Food Tour! I will recommend it to everyone!

A great welcome to Chicago on our first morning in town! We learned many interesting facts, and saw a lot of Chicago we would have missed without this tour. Shane was a wealth of information and a pleasure to spend the time with. He really knows his stuff! A 2 mile walk so wear confortable shoes and clothing. A good pace and easy to keep up. The food was all very good!

A great taste of Chicago
Fri, Jul 27, 07   11:00 AM JMChiligiris Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We enjoyed a great sampling of "off the beaten track" specialty food establishments with an informative tour of the local neighborhoods. A wonderful and entertaining afternoon for Chicagoans as well as their out of town guests! I'll definitely come back for seconds!

Have seldom bothered with tours, but this experience sold me on their value. It was fun, informative and tasty. There was even a sense of comradery among the participants.

Best part of our trip to Chicago
Sat, Jul 28, 07   11:00 AM melzbaby Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
We found this on the Chicago website and thought it would be fun. We went for a girls weekend and it was our favorite thing we did. Our host for the walk was a young man named Tad who we just loved. He was very nice and very knowledgeable. We thought there was alot more walking than we had theard and that was hard since we had our mom with us who is 72. The shops were fantastic. We really enjoyed the spice shop and went back there after the tour. They should add the Oil shop right next door as we loved it too.

this tour was great!
Sat, Jul 28, 07   11:00 AM epalisin Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see a little more of Chicago than provided by a normal downtown tour. I am new to the city and this tour taught me a lot about different neighborhoods that I may have never explored on my own. The tour also had a nice selection of tastings, but I would recommend having one less chocolate stop and maybe another "food" stop such as the potato pancake or pizza. I am not a big chocolate lover so that is the only complaint I have about this tour. Otherwise, the tour was well laid out and the tour guide was friendly and enthusiastic and had lots of interesting anticdotes about the areas covered on the tour. We had a great time!
