Terrific and unusual tour. Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour

This was a great tour for me and well worth the cost. I am a food lover and knew I would have time to spare while my husband was at a conference. Directions to and from the tour were perfect. I didn't have any unanswered questions prior to or after the tour. I was glad I wore good walking shoes as directed! Our tour guide was very friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I learned many interesting things about the various Chicago neighborhoods and greatly enjoyed the tastings. It wasn't too much or too little. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to go off the beaten path and experience a taste of life in Chicage.

Our tour was very relaxing, lots of time to chat as we walked, everyone enjoyed it. I went back to the Spice and Tea and Oil , and Ethels stores and purchased several hundred dollars in merchandise. The architectual points were really interesting and I felt I received an orientation to the neighborhoods, of gold coast, and old town that I would never have achieved walking alone even if I found the shops. The walking part was great too.

I had a great time on the tour. My guide was very knowledgable and friendly too! I enjoyed seeing a few neighborhoods I would not have probably ventured to on my own given my time constraints. I was in Chicago for business purposes and only for 3 days.

The meeting point was convenitent but the tour leader (also a fitness instructor) conducted the tour at such a brisk walking pace it felt like being route marched through the city, although the day was cold her desire to sprint through the streets meant the group sturggled, indeed two people left the tour such was the frantic pace. The stops were however unhurried and interesting although as shopping on the tour is not allowed it meant that if one wanted to make a purchase it had to be on a return visit or online. The leader seemed oblivous to the needs of the individiuals inthe group although her commentary was interesting. It would be better to either plan the tour aournd shops closer to each other (at one point it was over a twenty minute walk to the next stop) or have fewer stops so the walking pace is not so frantic. I have taken a similar but much better tour in San Francisco wear at some points the group joined the hop on hop off bus tour which was much more enjoyable. Only one for the very fit .

What a great tour. Very interesting with lots of information about the neighborhoods we visited. Walking was a great way to see the neighborhoods close up. The food was wonderful.

It was a great tour with a variety of things to taste, see, try. I will definitely recommend it to friends. I like how architecture was part of the tour as well.

all 6 in the group would do this again. most returned to many of the stores to shop. i think it would be a good idea to have a tour for kids.

the tour was good. leader was nice. would have liked a little more food. loved the spice and oil place, but really didn't feel like I got anything out of it. Would have skipped the tea shop.

weather was perfect. everyone kept a good walking pace. variety of tasting places, however there were a few in the group that didn't appear to appreciate more than one visit to establishments that served choc. the guide was funny and easy to talk to and very informative.
Great Experience Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour

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.

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.

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!
Great time! Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour

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 really enjoyed the tour. The guide was very knowledgable of the area and added a lot of additional suggestions for dining in the city. She was enthusiastic about the restaurants we visited and knew their history.
