| This was a great tour. Growing up in the suburbs, we didn't know much about other neighborhoods in Chicago. The places we went to were very welcoming and the merchants very educational. We look forward to being able to go back and go shopping! Jennifer was a great tour guide! | ||||||

| The tour provided much more than expected. We thought it was a tasting, but it also included architectural highlights of the areas. I lived in the area covered for several years and never went to some of the places on the tour. The three hours flew by. | ||||||

| 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!! | ||||||

| 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. | ||||||

| My husband & I decided to go on the walk after hearing about it from a co-worker. We had a great time. We had never been to any of the places we stopped at and learned so much about the city in which we live. I am thinking of taking my mom on the walk the next time she is in town! | ||||||

| I had a great time. Traveled with my parents who were in from out of town. It was a great way for them to see the city outside of just downtown and I learned a lot about Old Town (which I rarely ever see). We actually went back to Old Town for dinner that night and walked around the area. Loved the Spice House and the Oil & Vinegar shops. I think that the Chocolate and Catering place was not as cool. I love cheese but the shop itself was not as impressive. If you ever have a tour in Lakeview, Pastoral would be an awesome stop! Overall, it was a great afternoon! I'm looking forward to the Wicker Park/Bucktown tour in September. | ||||||

| My daughter is at school at du paul. So over the last 2 years we have explored a lot in the neighborhood. We had been to 7 out of the 8 places on the tour. It would be a good idea to name the places on the tour so one could decide if it was worth while. I also thinks a late afternoon tour with wine might be fun. Glad to hear you are doing the tour in different neighborhoods | ||||||

| There were 5 in our group on Aug. l3th, 2008. We really enjoyed our tour and our guide was very good and we learned alot about the area and places that we visited. We have told several friends and they all plan to take this same tour in the future. Thanks for a great time. | ||||||

| Our guide,Nicky, met us at Azkanaz Deli and began our tour on a beautiful day in Chicago. She was full of info about the Gold Coast, Lincoln Park and Old Town and the stops in shops along the way was fun and took the place of lunch with candy, gourmet oils and vinegars, spices, deep dish"heart healthy pizza, gourmet cheeses, and deli tastes. The walk was just long enough and even though we are locals, we all enjoyed it very much and would recommend it to anyone who likes to get a closer look into the neighborhoods. | ||||||

| Jennifer, our guide, was brimming of interesting info about every restaurant and every neighborhood's history, recent past, and point of interest. We didn't just wander around the spice house (which was really interesting even for someone with no interest in spices), we got a demo of cinnamon being made. We didn't just drink tea, we learned a ton about it from a very personable tea sommelier The walk was great and the food was great. I was a little worried at the start bc the first stop's food wasn't so hot (a potato pancake that was greasy and not terribly unique or interesting), but it turns out that restaurant is owned by the tour company, so i guess i can understand him wanting to include his own restaurant. he just need to get better food or not put his restaurant as the very first stop. also, the cheese shop was pretty disappointing. but overall, highly recommended for locals, tourists, or just someone interested in a fun afternoon. be careful about group size...ours was small, which was nice. But we heard they can get as large as 20 people, which I think would be very uncomfortable and awkward to be a part of in most of these tiny local restaurants. | ||||||

| My husband and I live in Chicago and love to explore new restaurants and neighborhoods in the city. My mother-in-law comes in to Chicago often to visit and attend plays and other events with us. We thought the food tour would be a great change of pace and something new, as well as a great way to explore the city for a day. This tour was AMAZING!!! The restaurants and shops that we visited were well spaced and great finds. Most of the stops we had not heard of, but were happy to visit. In between the stops our guide, Kate, was very knowledgeable of historical facts, architectural tidbits and local lore. We enjoyed the walk and all of the information as much as the food finds. The tour started out at a great central location and ended in a great central location as well. The materials gave us directions on how to easily get back to where we started. We decided to stay in the neighborhood and go to the Lincoln Park Zoo, which was right along our tour route. It was great to have specialty shops included in the tour as well as restaurants. In our tour we visited a well-renowned spice store, an olive oil and vinegar shop, and a loose tea shop. The tour converted all of us to loose tea drinkers!!! As someone who enjoys cooking almost as much as finding new restaurants I've already started a list of the spices and oils I'd like to purchase. As locals we will definitely be stopping by the stores to do some shopping. After the tour we did go back directly to the tea shop and did some shopping using the coupons you get as part of the tour. For anyone who cannot immediately return, most of the shops have website ordering as well. We would highly recommend this tour for local Chicogans as well as visitors. It's a great way to explore the city. The walking tour provides great insight on Chicago history and architecture and the food is amazing. The neighborhoods we visited are common enough as a local, but we learned more interesting facts about the city. For first-time Chicago visitors, this would be a great way to see the city, have lunch and get recommendations on restaurants for dinner. Definitely wear comfortable walking shoes!!! We bought bottled water ahead of time since the tour in mostly non-stop. Our only suggestion for improvement would be to have the tour take place on a more circular route. I'm not sure if that's possible while including all of the 8 tastings, but ending the tour 2.5 miles away from the start took up valuable time getting back to the starting point that we were hoping to spend revisiting our favorite stops. My only other suggestion would be to replace the last stop (an extremely popular chocolate shop) with a more less known local establishment. It was the only shop I felt I would have visited on my own without it needing to be included on this tour. Our guide mentioned a new tour may be introduced next year focused on a different neighborhood and we will be there!!! | ||||||

| I went by myself while my daughter was away at camp and it was nice as I met a few ladies from different parts of the U.S. So don't be worried to attend on your own. Also, Rebecca our guide was proud to show us her neighborhood and surrounding area's. She also gave us great local restaurant reviews. I live in the suburbs and always get stuck at the same touristy places that all the out of towners end up at so this tour was nice as it gets you off that beaten path and on to where the locals of Chicago go. I had such a relaxing day and the walking was enjoyable. We tried interesting items and I definitely learned new things about tea, olive oils, spices and much more. Great day out with or without your friends! | ||||||

| It is sometimes difficult to find activities for families with college-aged children to do together. This certainly fit the bill. It had just the right amount of walking, talking, and eating. Kate, our guide, was terrific - it was hard to believe she had only been giving tours four 4 months! | ||||||
