| This tour was fantastic. The guide was brilliant. Very knowlegdable with a great manner. I learnt so much on this tour about the local area I'm living in. I would recommend this to anyone and might even do it again myself if I have guests from overseas. Thanks very much! | ||||||

| I've lived in Chicago for 7 years and still found this tour informative and enjoyable. We toured many of the places I never go (can't afford to!) like the Gold Coast, Rush Street, and Lincoln Park and found some good deals there. There was a great mix of chicago history, food knowledge, and architecture that would make it ideal for a mixed audience. Tad was wonderful, and the shop owners were kind and welcoming. The coupons that come with the talk are also incredible deals! (I got an entire $20 free teamaker for buying $20 worth of tea at this Tea shop on the tour.) The walk is far! it must be over two miles, and so it was great exercise. If you expect to gorge yourself, you might be disappointed, it really is just a tasting... but it was perfect for my husband and I. | ||||||

| All around the tour was great and everyone had a great time. It's something that really needs a nice warm day to enjoy however. Although the tastings we went to were all good in their own right, I wish there was more diversity in the types of foods we had. I think there were 6 tastings altogether and 3 of them were chocolate. It would have been nice to include places like vegetarian and or ice-cream/ frozen desserts, even a specialty meats shop would have been nice. Our guide Shane was a really fun tour guide as well. Overall I would recommend it highly! | ||||||

Food tour is interesting, but not Chicago-specific

| Having lived in Chicago for several years, I decided to try out this tour with my dad on his recent visit. I'm always looking for new ways to show guests the city. I have good and not good things to say about the experience. Pros: The guide is very friendly and excited about the places he's taking you to. He has a great rapport with the owners of the stores/restaurants and also with the tour group. The owners of the establishments are incredibly kind and patient with the tour and create a very welcoming and behind-the-scenes feel to the experience. Cons: The places on this tour don't have much to do with Chicago. They are all locally owned and operated, which is great, but they don't really have anything that specifically feels like Chicago-style food. The food pieces really are samples (whereas on the NYC food tours, very generously portions are always distributed). There is a lot of walking on this tour, which is great when the weather is nice but chilly when it's not. Be sure to plan accordingly. Seven places are visited within a 3.5 hour time period (for about 10 minutes each), and no visits are made to places other than the sampling locales. The rest of the tour time is spent walking through neighborhoods. Bathroom breaks are scarce and bottled water is additional. The tour ends in a very different spot than where it originates, which means making your own cab, bus, or el transportation arrangements back to the beginning. All in all, this tour has a lot of potential. I know we were one of the first groups for this season and I'm sure a few kinks will be worked out along the way. But if anyone is looking for an experience similar to the NYC food tours, this will be a disappointment. | ||||||

| Shane was a wonderful tour guide. The tour was very well balanced. The business and restaurant stops were outstanding! There was not one that I would eliminate. If you are from Chicago, you will find some real treasures to put on your "visit again" list. | ||||||

| Our guide was great! We found shops and restaurants we hadn't known about, but will definitely return to; and it's just so interesting to check out the architecture in nieighborhoods we seldom visit. | ||||||

| There wasn't a stop on this tour I didn't enjoy. Shane, our tour guide, was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about all of the food we tasted, and I just know I'll revisit every place where we stopped. Even though I'm a Chicagoan, everything I saw and learned gave me a new Chicago experience, and I would recommend this tour to any local who thinks they know everything about what Chicago has to offer. | ||||||

A Fun Outing

| The enthusiam, sense of humor and energy level of the tour guide was 80% of the tour. We had a great time. The fact that we walked quite a distance was offset by the fact that there would be FOOD at the next stop! Each stop was an adventure. Our guide kept everyone on their toes by his interactive repartee. The description of the tour stated that we would be walking 3 miles and need to find our own transport back. We had arranged a car from the hotel to meet us in Old Town after we stopped for a drink, but another couple planned on walking back, they were already dead-tired and were afraid of getting lost. | ||||||

great time for all!

| I really enjoyed our tour. I have already been on many tours of Chicago but I learned even more - our guide was very informative. I enjoyed walking through the different parts of the city and seeing many of the neighborhoods and restaurants that I have read about or seen in the local news. I was not left hungry - there was plenty of food and it was all delicious! I did think that we would be having more " Chicago reknown" foods such as deep dish pizza , a Chicago style hot dog, frango and Elis - but it was not missed. It is a great tour for natives who may want to learn the city better. | ||||||

| Overall, the tour was great. We learned a lot about the neighborhoods as well as different types of food and drink. Great day and lots of walking. The only recommendation I would have is to bring a bottle of water with you. Thanks for the great day! | ||||||
