| We live in the Chicago suburbs and had family in from out of town. They found this on the interent and sent it to me. I bought the tickets & we had a great time. We went back to all the stores and made purchases. We recommended it to all our family & friends. We are looking forward to you expanding to other areas of the city. We plan to attend next year when our family comes to visit! Our guide was very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. It was nice to meet the other people in our group. Keep up the good work!! | ||||||

Worthwhile tour

| I enjoyed this tour. I saw parts of the city that I probably would not have otherwise gotten to, and I don't think I would have stopped in some of the places on my own. It moves at a comfortable pace. The guide was flexible, friendly and knowledgable. The highlight of the tour was Bacino's. I asked many people the best places for deep dish/stuffed pizza, and no one said "Bacino's" -- what an oversight! The stuffed pizza at Bacino's was worth the whole tour. I had it again the next day. | ||||||

| Our guide Emily was very friendly and informative. The foods we sampled were very good and even tough our feet hurt by the end, we were very glad to have selected the tour as one of the ways we got to experience Chicago. | ||||||

Very Enjoyable - Great for Out of Town Guests

| The tour was outstanding. Our guide, Emily, knew a tremendous amount of information about landmarks on the walking tour as well as the food that we actually tasted. The variety of food for tasting was perfect. I think our tour time went over a bit beyond the slated timeframe, but no one seemed to mind. The different locations chosen for the tastings were all very receptive to us and treated us well. The all had the tastings prepared upon our arrival. All the food/drink/spices that were offered were excellent. I will bring all of my out of town guests on this tour and I will likely make purchases from the vendors in the near future. The tour materials were great - especially the coupons. My only criticism is the fact that it is a little complicated to get back to where we started, but we decided to walk and the map was helpful. | ||||||

| I enjoyed this tour very much. I loved the variety of shops and food tastings. Also, our guide, Jennifer, also taught us the history of the different neighborhoods we walked through on the way to each next stop on our tour. And, the price made this a good bargain,too. I lived in Chicago years ago and came back this time as a "tourist". Myself and many other locals that were on the tour all learned a lot about our town's history and the many ethnic foods our town has to offer. Thank you to Chicago Food Planet and most of all to Jennifer-our guide! Lisa Hill | ||||||

| Our guide, Jennifer, was fantastic...our tour was a REAL learning lesson about Chicago's history, culture, restaurants, foods....and instead of lasting 3 hrs., it was almost 4. It was a fabulous experience and my sister and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to have an amazing time and learn alot!!! | ||||||

| We're locals, from the north suburbs, but decided to "vacation" downtown in the city. We recommend this tour to everyone. It's an informative and tasty way to see the neighborhoods. I loved the stops we made, mostly local family businesses, very knowledgeable and passionate about their product. We'll return to all of them to shop. Great way to spend part of the day. | ||||||

| The tour was interesting. My boyfriend and I enjoyed it. Some of the stops were too trite (oil and vinegar was an entire stop so my boyfriend was not interested) but overall it was interesting and a good tour of the city. You only really 'eat' at one pizza place, the rest is more condiments, sweets, and snacks. The tour guide was enthusiastic and nice. Tips accepted. We walked through the drizzle, so don't wear jeans! | ||||||

| I really enjoyed your tour as it was a way to personalize Chicago for me. I went by myself and I am in the food business so I really liked visiting different places, learning, having a cool experience around food plus be with a group. I don't mind traveling alone but I don't like going to a restaurant alone so this was great way to sample things, walk around, and learn about the city at the same time. Few things: the tea place was a nice surprise...it didn't seem like much from the outside but the inside and the talk was great...however, the gal that gave the talk could have been more professional looking. She had a t-shirt on (all rumpled) that had some kind of logo and style a young teenager would wear. She was in her mid-twenties, her hair was unkempt, I think she had a lip ring or brow ring piercing...in short her outward presentation was distracting and frankly "looked dirty" -- I will say she spoke very well which in some ways added to the distraction because her "look" didn't match the well spoken, educated, informative talk. The other fella in the shop had long hair but he had a nice crisp green long sleeve shirt on (I'm fond of long sleeve shirts on anyone in retail and food service) . The oil and vinegar shop was wonderful -- no one besides Emily spoke -- if someone can, I think each shop should step up and say a little something. The most frustrating thing was not having time to buy anything! As a shop owner I understand they would like to have folks come back but in my case, I had such a tight schedule - it just wasn't possible. If the shops could have had some kind of marketing thing where they would have a set of stuff to go it would have been perfect or how about having an order sheet - have the tour guide place the orders while we are having pizza and each shop bring the order to the last stop. I know I could order things but it seemed vague and not a great value to do so not to mention the hassle of traveling with it. Here's something -- when I was on the Alaskan Railroad on a tour...their gift shop on the train had a deal where no matter how much you bought or how little it was a $5 flat rate to send anything anywhere. I don't know how they worked that deal with whom but was a great selling point. Nearly everyone bought something and had it shipped home. | ||||||

| As new visitors to Chicago, this was a chance to see something outside of the loop and water-tower square. Each establishment was welcoming and helped us to understand what they do. My wife and I learned many new things and will have great memories, pictures and video from the tour. Thanks | ||||||

| We just returned home from this tour and really enjoyed it. Kent our tour guide really knows his stuff, both the area and the food/restaurants he takes us to. I agree with a few of the other customer reviews, some places aren't quite as interesting, but that's only my opinion. Catering/chocolate had great cheese, but nothing crash hot especially looking at the array they have available. Standout favorites are the spice shop & oil/vinegar shop, both of which we plan to go back to buy things. Highly recommended. | ||||||

| Nikki, our guide, was very pleasant. The food stops (albeit not all of them served to fill you up) were interesting and diverse. From latkes at the Ashkenaz deli to spices, oils/ vinegars, chocolates, to a tasty and supposedly heart-healthy spinach stuffed pizza--all within a 3-hour casual walking tour, spanning 3 close-by neighborhoods. The short stops made on the way revealed some fun facts about Chicago's neighborhoods, and homes as well as their current or former dwellers. | ||||||

Great Way to Start Your Trip to Chicago!

| I thoroughly enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it to anyone at the beginning of your trip in Chicago. Our tour guide, Kent, was especially helpful and knowledgeable about details of this great city. I thought the amount of food provided was adequate. I ate breakfast around 9 am and was not hungry after the tour ended around 2:30 pm. Lots of walking, but with 2 rest stops I was fine. By the last stop I was ready for a rest, so the timing was just right. If I could change anything, I would suggest one less chocolate vendor. There were 3 and it would have been nice to have something else. It was a great way to get a feel for the city, it's history and of course, the food.! | ||||||
