| Our tour guide made a valiant effort at keeping our group on schedule, but was ultimately unsuccessful. Of course, WE DIDN'T MIND IN THE LEAST! Each stop represented a unique, fine tasting experience and a local institution, some of which we natives ourselves had never known before! | ||||||

Great way to see and taste a city!!

| The choices of types of food and the stores that we went to were very original. We went back to many of them and spent lot's of money. Learned a lot about Chicago and the food there. FANTASTIC!! | ||||||

| Our guide Jen was fun and knowledgable. The restaurants/stores we visited were wonderful. We stopped in places we would never notice on our own. Everyone was friendly and the tastings were great. We went back to several stores and purchased items we sampled. This is one of the best Chicago tours I've taken. We look forward to taking the Loop tour you may be planning for the Spring. If you have a mailing list, please put us on it! | ||||||

| We enjoyed our tour guide and the walking tour. The stops that we made were interesting. I was disappointed in the amount of food that we had on the tour. We basically had ice tea, some cheese, candy and a slice of pizza. I didn't think tasting balsamic vinegar and olive oil or sniffing herbs counted as "real" food. I thought for $40 a person that really was not much food. I tried to justify it by saying that the tour was 3 and a half hours and exploring Chicago was fun and worth the money. | ||||||

| This tour was the perfect mix of food tasting, history, and cultural exploration of the windy city! The guide was really enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and entertaining. I'd recommend it for anyone who likes to walk around and explore a city - it's almost like being shown the best places to eat and see from a friend who lives there. | ||||||

| Would highly recommend this tour for those just visiting the city. It's a nice way to get your bearings, understand what the various neighborhoods have to offer, and then ultimately determine where you may want to spend some quality time. The food & retail spots visited were picked well and provided a nice variety of food, beverage, and novelty-ish items. | ||||||

| My wife and I wanted to experience some "real" Chicago locales not seen by tourists and this was perfect. We explored neighborhood eateries and specialty shops while enjoying a stroll through town (about 2 miles). Our guide was thoroughly knowledgeable in the history and facts of the neighborhoods and offered great insight into Chicago. We expected more food, they said it would be like a meal but we must be big eaters, I was famished. | ||||||

Walk,eat & learn new things about the city.

| We had a great time. Our guide was fun, she even knew alot of Chicago history. The food tasting was great, wish we had time to shop at the spice and oil shops. Our group liked the fudge shop the best, and had to force ourselves to eat even more choc. candy. We had great weather, don't think It would have been fun in the rain. | ||||||

Fun and could use improvement

| I also took this tour thru Greenwich Village, NY. I loved it and recommended it many times. Went a second time with family as we were visiting. The Chicago tour needs more history and more diversity amoung the stops. Too much candy and chocolate. Deli - boring, and bad food. Tea shop - informative and great idea Old Town Fudge - fun, tasty, great stop Spice House - I shop there often and enjoy it. They need a bettter presentation and time to shop. Oil Shop - good idea - time to shop is needed Bacino's and Ethel's are fun. You feel too rushed on the tour. Add a half hour and let people shop. We did enjoy ourselves and appreciate your efforts. | ||||||

| I enjoyed walking through the neighborhoods & the leaders comments on same. I was disappointed with the food tasting. The ad leads you to believe you will get ample tastings & therefore not need lunch. I went on the 1:30 tour, maybe that is different. I thought we would taste more food from the area, but we actually had only half a potato cake & pizza unless you count 2 different chocolate shops. The other stops included a tea shop, olive oil & balsamic vinegar with nothing for dipping & a spice store where you sprinkled the spices in you hand to taste. Chicago pizza is supposed to be wonderful, but the chef decided to make it heathy & believe me I am very health conscience & love spinach, but the pizza did nothing for me. I would also reccomend leaving time for purchases. | ||||||

| I learned many things about food that I had not known in the past. I enjoyed tasting the food and learning about the processing of the foods. The guide walked us though the city and showed/told us about many historical building that I would not have known about if I were not with the group. I was near the end of my stay in Chicago when I took this tour so now when I return I will know where to go so I can spend more time in this part of Chicago. I do wish we had a little time to shop at the places we visited. I had to walk back to the spice store alone and very quickly so I would not be late to meet friends after the tour. Our tour guide was wonderful and I would like to know about tours in other cities. | ||||||

| I really enjoyed the tour. The guide was full of information not only about the food but also in reference to the areas we visited and the architecture we saw. The stops were all very interesting and very good. I also enjoyed that the tour headed north to the gold coast and old town and lincoln park areas, which we would otherwise not have visited. | ||||||

I would definitely reccomend!
