Tough for seniors

| The tour guide was very enthusiastic. We loved some of the placesbut were under the impression we would sit down a little more. My group was seniors and we would have liked to sit and listen and eat. We throught more food could have provided at each place like hors d'oeuvres. So we were a little disappointed in that. We felt it was worth $24.00 not $44.00. And it was a little too much walking for a person with an artificial hip. We all walk alot but I guess because there was no sitting we had a bad time. Could provide more restrooms stops also. | ||||||

| My daughter and I loved this food tour. The combination of food tasting with the educational information provided about the city was delightful. The tour guide (Kate) was very friendly and made us feel like we were touring with a group of family members. Her knowledge about the city and the sites was amazing. I would wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone. | ||||||

| Wonderful combination of food tasting, architecture and walking and an excellent way to get a feel for the different neighborhoods as you wind your way through the Gold Coast, Old Town and Lincoln Park. Our tour guide, Jennifer, was terrific. She was informative, friendly and was a wealth of information wherever we went. A great way to start your trip to Chicago and it definitely beats riding around in a double decker bus. One tip - the tour ends a few blocks away from the Lincoln Park Zoo and Conservatory. Admission is free to both and they shouldn't be missed. | ||||||

| We met at the Ashkenaz Deli and knew right away we had a good group touring with us. Adriana was our guide and we could not have asked for anyone better. We loved the stops, but it felt like more than 1 l/2 miles. Maybe I'm just not in shape. The talk about the neighborhoods was very informative. The only comment (not complaint) we have is we think the Askenaz Deli should give a choice of either a potato knish or a sandwich. Unfortunately some of the people do not eat meat and were unable to try the sandwich. The guide told us that they used to offer the knish and people complained that there was no meat on the tour. I guess you can't please everyone, but maybe a choice (in advance) would be a better option. We had two people from Baltimore and two from California who were spending a weekend together and we all loved the tour. I, personally loved the Tea Shop and the Pizza was incredible. After the tour we returned to the Spice Shop and Tea Shop and did some shopping. Other people from our tour were also at these shops. I doubt if many people returned to the candy shop or catering shop. The only other comment I have is that it would have been nice to have been able to sit at one additional time other than the Spice Shop and then at the very end for Pizza. We all had tired feet, but would not have missed the tour. | ||||||

| Have to give a shout out to our great tour guide Ben - he was awesome. He shared so much great information about the neighborhood and also gave us some great pointers about other activities to do in the city! Our only suggestion would be to spread out the tastings a bit - by the time we got to Piece, we were almost too full to eat that fantastic pizza!! I would suggest maybe breaking it up a little bit and walking a little further and then bringing us back to the places so we can enjoy the food a bit more. Otherwise, we loved it, we would definately do this tour (or check out the Near North tour) if we come back to Chicago! | ||||||

| My son and I went on the Bucktown tour and then went back later in the week to 3 of the places. We would have gone back to more, but ran out of time. Our guide Kent really knew the area and we were filled with great food and great knowledge of a very cool area. Highly recommend this tour! | ||||||

| We were four adults ranging in age from 27 to 60 (3 female, one male) who were 1000 miles from home. This fabulous walking tour of Chicago neighborhoods gave us an overview of unique buildings, city history, and food tasting at local shops. The eclectic mixture of samplings came from shops that included a deli, a tea shop, a chocolate maker, a spice emporium, an oil & vinegar vendor, a pizza restaurant. The walk was casually paced. We stopped to hear the history of buildings and neighborhoods between being treated to demonstrations and food tastings at local shops. This was an innovative way to get to know and appreciate Chicago. I have done this tour twice now in two consecutive years, and each time it was a delight. | ||||||

I was hungry the whole time and my feet hurt!!!!!!

| Our tour guide, Jen, was awesome. She was pleasant and informative. Props to Jen. However, I the structure of the tour was HORRIBLE. It was my understanding that this was a food tour, but we ate very little and walked way too much. We arrived at our meeting spot at 11:15 a.m. as instructed, and were greeted with a piece of chocolate which no one seemed to be interested in ingesting at 11:15 a.m. anyway, but whatever. From there we had a potato cake, some tea, licked cinnamon off our hands (gross), took oil and vinegar shots (equally gross), and had some more chocolate. Let's just take a minute and think of the disgusting combination of substances that were in our stomachs up to this point. By 2:15 that's all we'd had! At which time we ate one piece of pizza, before going on to ANOTHER chocolate stop. Don't get me wrong, I love chocolate, but why didn't you just advertise this as a chocolate tour? We passed DOZENS of amazing restaurants on our way that could have offered appetizers and such of a more substantive nature. I felt extremely jipped that I paid to have someone lead me around on a way too long walking tour while my family and I were going hungry and about to pee our pants most of the time. I am a local and took this as an opportunity to show my family around while they were in town. I have a group of (local) friends who are signed up for this same tour next month. My recommendation to them was to eat a big lunch before the tour and to ditch the tour about two hours before the scheduled end time, as they will have already seen three chocolate shops at that point, and do your feet really need to suffer to see one more?! I will never recommend this tour to someone. I would like a refund. | ||||||

| As busy professionals, my fiance' and I often don't get out that much to enjoy the rich diversity of Chicago. This food tour, suggested and booked by friends visiting from outside Chicago, was really a wonderful opportunity to learn about one such diverse neighborhood. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, seemed quite concerned and interested in those whom he was guiding, and provided a nice pace for the day. All the featured restaurants were eye-opening, unique, and quite memorable; I would certainly revisit them all. I especially liked the attached list of "highlighted restaurants," not covered by the actual tour, but recommended in the future. This historical sites were all very interesting. All in all, a great experience that I would recommend to any of my friends and family. | ||||||

| We really enjoyed the three towns and all the info about them and the architecture, etc. At the end of our tour (3 1/2 hrs), we had to run to catch another tour we'd booked, but would have liked to go back into some of the shops. I knew we weren't to buy food at the shops, but it wasn't clear ahead of time that we should have planned nothing afterward so that we could re-trace our steps. Thankfully, we can order things on-line. Jennifer, our guide, was terrific. She was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and very easy to understand and hear. She really helped make the tour great! | ||||||
