Best part of a great trip to Chicago

| The food from all the restaurants was great; our tour guide (Kent) was knowledgeable and personable; the area was beautiful and interesting - in short, it was all good. We've been to Chicago several times but would never have explored this area of town if it hadn't been for this tour. We liked it so much we went back on our own a few days later and purchased more food to take home with us. Four of the six businesses on the tour were owned and operated by women and I liked being able to support young entrepreneurs, while enjoying great food too. The walking even helped offset the calories consumed! Great experience, I highly recommend it! | ||||||

| Had a great time on the tour. Jesse was our guide and she was awesome. Found both the culinary and architectural information excellent. Would definitely say it was worth doing. The only spot that I found that was just "OK" of the 7 we visited was the catering company (chocolate-catering). It was OK but lacked some of the interesting information as the other spots had. Well worth it! | ||||||

| My sister in law and I met in Chicago for a weekend mini vacation. (I am from Houston, she is from Phoenix). We had read about the tour on Trip Advisor and both thought it sounded like fun. We did the Near North Tour, and it was wonderful. I am a very picky eater, and loved everything we were given. I also do not like tea, but I was converted. Our guide, Jen, was knowledgeable, personable, and entertaining. The staff at each tasting was also friendly and helpful. As so many others have advised, take the tour early in your vacation because you will want to go back to buy. Strongly recommend and encourage. I can’t wait to go back to Chicago to do the Bucktown/Wickerpark tour. . | ||||||

| The tour was a lot of fun. It was a great way to learn about Chicago and to sample some really good food! We had a great guide who was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It was unique to visit local vendors and helped us to learn more about the cultures of the neighborhoods. We learned more than we would have on a regular walking tour and would certainly recommend it to other people visiting Chicago. | ||||||

| Our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Enjoyed seeing the neighborhoods and getting beyond the main streets. The residential architecture is very interesting. The restaurants we visited were very good and the samples were large. We appreciated learning about other restaurants in the area and we, in fact, went back and had a delicious dinner at Le Buchon. I would recommend this to any Chicago visitor. Come with a big appetite. | ||||||

| This was an incredible tour! The guide, Nikki, was so informative! I was introduced to new foods and learned a great deal along the way. It was interesting exploring three very distinctive Chicago neighborhoods--something I would not have likely experienced on my own. I would suggest, though, that there's too long a gap between the last stop and second-to-last-stop. Overall, this was a great experience! I can't wait to come back to the city and take the other tour offered! | ||||||

Interesting and fun way to see part of Chicago

| We enjoyed the tour; however, the architectural aspects were more interesting than the food samplings. We were disappointed in three of the stops two of which aways offer free tasting samples anyways(the oil & vinegar shop, and the tea shop). The 2 small cubes of cheese and cracker with hummus at the Catering Chocolate were not impressive either. Many in our group felt that stop was dull and were expecting an exciting tasting of something more than a sample you could get at your local grocery deli counter. We were most impressed by the Spice House tour and informational talk, but a small complimentary sample of cinnamon, pepper, or some other spice would have been great. I guess I have been on similar " foodie" tours which were much more generous on the tastings and variety. I would not suggest taking any stops off, but possibly add one or two more like the Old Jerusalem restaurant or Sushi cafe which we passed by (several of us were curious about those) which would only add about 10 minutes more, but greatly enhance the perceived value of the tour. Thanks | ||||||

| Directions for arriving at the starting point and leaving from the ending point were helpful and accurate. Pleasing array of food establishments visited and foodstuffs tasted. I enjoyed the Chicago facts & trivia given by the guide as well. | ||||||

| We went on the North Food tasting and tour. Group size was good - not too many. There wasn't a bad stop in the tour. We had plenty to eat . Got a good history of Old Town and what drove migration from the south side of Chicago to the north side. Because we were out of town, we loved the fact that several of the shops we visited had catalogs and web presence so we could order items over the internet. Would highly recommend this tour to those living in Chicago who could visit /use these establishments on a regular basis such as the Jewish deli and caterer. Great tour! | ||||||

| The guide on this tour was knowledgeable, friendly and obviously enjoys her work. This experience gave me the chance to find out a little more about Chicago that I would never have found out for myself. I went along on my own for this tour and felt comfortable as everyone in the group was friendly. I thought it would have been tiring walking for 3 hours but the time flew in and there were lots of stops and delicious treats along the way. One of the highlights of my trip. | ||||||

| This tour is a fascinating way to see a few neighbourhoods that you would not normally get to visit as a tourist. It is a combination of food tasting and guided walking tour in an interesting neibourhood. Our guide was dynamic and knowledgeable, both about the food and the area we visited. The stores we visited were mostly interesting, in particular the tea store and the oil store. There was also an intriguing spice store. We were 10 or 12 which was a good size with a good mix of engaging people. It is a long walk, especially if you walk back to revisit some of the stores to make a few purchases, so you need to be in reasonable shape and wear comfortable shoes. | ||||||

| Jennifer was our tour guide. She was full of good information, very enjoyable to be with, and so energetic. We loved her. The tour was great. The food and samples were terrific. And we loved the architecture. I would have liked more time in the Olive Oil store. I didn't think the Caterer and Gormet shop had much to offer the tour. Every other stop was so informative and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it!! | ||||||
