Chicago Food & Cultural Tour
Sat, Sep 12  11:00 AM Childree Male 70+ Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
My wife and I very much enjoyed this tour. Two things stand out: first, a brief review of the architectual and cultural aspects of Near North Side of Chicago was quite interesting and not something you get on the big tour buses. Our guide, Jennifer, was quite knowledgeable about the area (s). I especially enjoyed the walk through the Gold Coast area and seeing some of the homes there - Florsheim and Playboy Mansion stand out. Jennifer knew the prices of the condos that are being converted from the old mansions. Second, the foods and accompanients on Wells St. in Old Town was also interesting. I think this part of the tour is mostly for the ladies, but I particularly enjoyed testing the oils and vinegars at Old Town Oil. I wanted to take some home, but cannot due to restrictions of liquids on air flights. We both enjoyed the deep dish pizza in Lincoln Park. One thing I would have enjoyed on the food tour would be a "Chicago hot dog". I have heard of these but not sure how they are different from other hot dogs. That about sums it up. Say Hi to Jennifer!

Nice way to know something about the city!

The guide was fantastic, energetic and very friendly. The food was great, not too much because walking with a full stomach is very unpleasant, but not too little. It really worths the price. We enjoyed a lot, specially the spices, oil&vinegars, teas and chocolate shops. We would definitely repeat it!! and we came back to our country with tons of goodies!

Great event with the girlfriends
Sat, Sep 12  11:00 AM ctrina Female 30-39 Local Group of Friends
The tour was fun, factual and interactive. We were comprised of all ages (16-60+) and nations (locals, domestic out-of-towners and international visitors: from Canada and Colombia). So it's great for couples, girlfriends spending a day out on the town or a family touring Chicago. Our guide was engaging, very well spoken and enlightened even us locals with some fun facts about the neighborhoods. The food tastings were delicious, well portioned and well paced. It was a great mix of food, walk/talk. A fabulous way to spend 3-hours in Chicago!

Excellent tour which incorporated food tastings with an informative tour of an interesting neighbourhood of Chicago you might not otherwise see. The food was good and the tour guide enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend the tour but don't have a big breakfast!!

I would recommend this to everyone who is interested in trying some different foods and seeing and learning about the restaurants and also the neighborhoods. I was very enlightened with the variety of food samplings and you definitely get your money's worth when it comes to the samples!!

LOVED IT!
Fri, Sep 11  12:00 PM Beckygeiser Female 20-29 Local Family Without Children
My parents and I had a wonderful time on this tour!!! I live in the Chicago area, and had been to most of these places, but it was still fun to try new things and also learn about the area that I live in! Our guide- Ben was wonderful! He was so personable and made the tour even more fun! I would highly reccommend this tour for both locals and for people visiting Chicago. You learn a lot and are able to try so many wonderful restaurants! Our favorite was Hot Chocolate and icream. my least favorite was Greek Goddess and the Grocer- the past salad was average.

Kent, our tour guide was wonderful. He knew so much about the area and was able to answer most of our questions and he was just fun. The food on this tour was great and I will be returning to some of the places on a return visit.

Bring Your Appetite

We were in Chicago for a girls weekend. We really enjoyed the tour. Our guide, Jen was wonderful! The tastings were great. The food was plentiful. I thought that the oil shop wouldn't be very intriguing but it turned out to be one of my favorites. It was interesting to see the neighborhoods and learn a little of the history of the areas. Next time we would like to take the other neighborhood tour since we enjoyed this so much. Highly recommend this one.

Better than expected!
Thu, Sep 10  11:30 AM lubetenson Female 40-49 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
The tour was even better than we expected. Our guide, Ariana, was a very nice person, we could see that she enjoyed very much her job. Beyond the food tour itself, she provided us with many interesting information on the culture and architecture of the places we've been to. Be prepared to walk! Especially if it's a hot and sunny day, you'll be in the sun and must have energy to go through the tour. If you don't like to walk or you're not "fit", don't go. We loved every place we've been in the tour, except the Catering/Chocolate Gourmet Store, where no one showed to talk to us and/or we were not provided with interesting information at all, besides learning that the owner is a star in the business and his catering preferred by Governors and Presidents... I would certainly recommend this tour to anyone who loves food/eating/culture!

Our tour guide Arriana was great! She was friendly and enthusiastic and gave us many tips on things to do in Chicago afterwards. I loved the reuben sandwich and the spice shop!

Very fun, Imformative and NOT your mama's tour!
Thu, Sep 10  11:00 AM karenannrich Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Unspecified
I loved this twist on a historical, archetectual, cultural tour. The combination of different types of info, the food and the information about food and cooking thrown in created a unique and most informative tour. The walk was well-paced and not too long. I am now planning a trip to New York and looking for one there. I would recommend this highly.

Tour took 4 hrs rather than 3hrs but it was worth it. Highly recommend tour guide Jennifer, as she was fun and enthusiastic. Don't eat a breakfast prior to the tour. The shop owners are generous in their samples and are very welcoming. Wear good walking shoes.

Near North - great time
Thu, Sep 10  11:00 AM loosoo Female 50-59 Local Group of Friends
I would recommend this tour to anyone but esp to out of towners. You really get a bird's eye view of our fantastic city and all it has to offer. Your selection of venues had a nice diversity, good food, and websites to visit to purchase items. Thanks, Jennifer, for a great time. Your love of Chicago and its offerings is very evident.
