| The tour guide (yeah, Nikki!) had a great personality and made the tour fun. It was a small group, so we had lots to eat. I retraced our path and made some great purchases. The stores were happy to ship for me, since I was traveling by air. I wore a comfortable pair of shoes and still ended up with a blister. Another lady on the tour stopped and purchased shoes before she returned to her hotel. WEAR THE MOST COMFORTABLE SHOES YOU OWN!! | ||||||

| I thoroughly enjoyed the Food Tour. The weather was gorgeous and that added to the tour's appeal, especially as we walked everywhere. I loved the areas we went through and the places we stopped at, which were nice and varied. I also enjoyed the fact that we were a group of only 6 plus our leader Nikki. It made for a very relaxed atmosphere. A group of 16 (the maximum number allowed) would probably be a little less personal and more rushed. Nikki was a great person - friendly, fun, interesting and enthusiastic. I particularly loved the two chocolate places we visited. I would have liked to stop and buy some of the amazing chocolate products at The Fudge Shop but we didn't have time. I made up for that at Ethel's Chocolate Lounge though. The tour is well organised, and all the necessary information is provided on booking and in the subsequent email you receive. If you get a chance to do the Food Tour, you should! | ||||||

| If you've done the Greenwich Village food tour in NYC, you might be disappointed in this Chicago version as the food isn't nearly as good nor as plentiful. Nevertheless, I found the Chicago tour interesting and a good way to become familiar with some of it's neighborhoods. | ||||||

Food Tour Review

| The tour was actually more fun than we had anticipated! We really enjoyed touring some of Chicago and eating some food along the way. Thought the tour time was about right; maybe a little long. Would only recommend not having as many chocolate stops. By the time we got to the last stop (Ethel's), chocolate really wasn't what we wanted. We sensed that from the group as well. Overall, we truly enjoyed the tour and really like our guide. She did a great job! | ||||||

| My husband and I really enjoyed this tour. We are both unfamiliar with Chicago but felt that this tour helped us get our bearings. We also figured out where to get a great meal and where the good shopping is. This tour introduced us to neighborhoods we otherwise wouldn't have seen. Our tour guides (one was in training) were great! They were willing and able to answer just about every question we asked them. For what we got, this tour was an absolute bargain. | ||||||

| we didn't have of time to see every thing in chicago, so that tour came as the best thing to see alot in the city in a very short time, the tour was great, we wouldn't pay attention for most of those details if we were walking by it. but once they tell you about you really enjoy every minute of that trip. food was not much, we expected to eat more since they tell you that you going to taste a lot so we didn't eat breakfast that day, but if i would go again, i'll have breakfast at the morning. the best activity was the pizza place, it's amazing but we realized after the trip was over that the best part was the walking by all these nice places. to enjoy it the most, we recommend to go on the tour on you first day there and after that go all over the city by your selves so you can stop by those places and enjoy the city the most. over all it's a five star activity if you don't expect to eat a lot | ||||||

| The food tour is definitely well worth the price. No only do you get a chance to taste great food, but a cultural tour is included! | ||||||

| A very enjoyable activity weather was kind to us and the tastings were gd. Interesting places we thought on the whole. The caterers tasting cheese was not as good as the others though. Guide was great. The discount tickets were a good idea and we did use them the following days. Oils and spices were the best. Its a very different way to see a city we would deinitely reccommend doing this. It is tiring particularly if you have been sightseeing on foot for a couple of days already. | ||||||

| My husband had been on this tour before with a group of teachers and had said to me, "I've never been more sure of anything than I am sure that you will love this tour." He was right!!!! It was fantastic. When Emily, our tour guide, asked us at the end of the day what I had liked the best. I said the delicious chocolate that I was eating at the time. That was true because the "best" the thing was whatever we were doing at the moment! It was all fabulous and I couldn't pick one thing over another. The walk was amazing. You see Chicago as you never see it when you are traveling by taxi or bus from one destination to another. We were lucky enough to even have one of the hospitable owners of an historic house we were walking by, talk to us about her home and the neighborhood. Emily was a great guide! We found out she was fairly new to the job but you would have never known it. She did a wonderful job! I am requesting this as my Mother's Day gift from now on. I don't think I could ever grow tired of reliving this experience. Thank you so much! Mrs. Bruce58 (-: | ||||||

| In my opinion, this tour was a great value. Not only do you get to try some excellent foods, spices and oils, but you also get to walk through some interesting neighborhoods! I ended up purchasing all my Chicago souvenirs from the stores on this tour because the products were unique and wonderful! Our guide (Emily) was enthusiastic and obviously loves her city, which boosted our enthusiasm for the tour. I'd also like to mention that while a few reviewers have indicated that the actual amount of food you eat on this tour isn't much...but I thought it was perfect! I personally cann't get stuffed on food and then walk at a decent clip very comfortably. If you're really concerned about the amount of food, I'd suggest having a late breakfast - just don't get TOO full before this tour, because you'll get an extremely filling and delicious pizza toward the end! For something a little different, I HIGHLY recommend this one! | ||||||

| My husband and I had a great time on the tour. We learned a lot of Chicago history and enjoyed some yummy food along the way! Our tour guide, Tad, was a wealth of knowledge and very easy to talk to. We highly recommend you take this tour early in your visit to Chicago so you can check out all the shops & restaurants Chicago Food Planet recommends. | ||||||

Good excuse to discover more of Chicago & EAT

| Loved that I learned more about some of the more off-the-beaten track neighborhoods in Chicago while getting to sample some great/ unique food. Unlike many of the people on the tour who were experiencing Chicago for the first time, I'd been to Chicago several times (my mom lives in the Chicago burbs) and yet I still learned so much about Chicago that I hadn't known before. As for the food, yes, some of these places I could've went to on my own... but would I have ever known to do so? No way. This tour introduced me to places I would never have discovered, and I'm all the better for it. | ||||||

| This event was well worth doing. I took the tour myself as my husband was in Chicago on business. I felt very comfortable. The tour guides were very nice and the tour itself was great. It was very informative and saw what was described in the advertising. The tasting part of the tour was great as well. I saw and experienced things that I never would have on regular travel. I highly recommend this tour to any wife with her husband on travel or any couple that want to see and experience parts of Chicago that other wise wouldn't be experienced. | ||||||
