| Great tour guide! We got to enjoy parts of the city we probably wouldn't have made it to. I highly recommend it, especially at the beginning of your trip just in case you want to go back to some of the places. | ||||||

| We really enjoyed learning about the different types of architecture in the city. Different tour themes would be a good idea to get repeat customers. | ||||||

Chicago Food Tour

| This was an interesting and fun tour through some famous Chicago neighborhoods that I was not familiar with. There was a good variety in the types of stores visited and the pacing and opportunities to sit down were well timed. Information about the buildings that were pointed out was fairly general but this tour was really about food. There was time to chat and visit with your companions along the way. The guides were friendly, energetic and very enthusiastic about sharing their love of Chicago. All in all, it was an enjoyable way to spend time off the beaten path in Chicago. | ||||||

| Our guide was wonderful. My least favorite place was the first stop ~ Ashkenaz. The time and walking distance were perfect. | ||||||

| In every city we go to I look for activities we can do that are fun, informative, active, and a good way to hang with family. This fit it perfectly. 3 hours of walking, talking, learning about the area, snacking and some culinary 101 basics. The weather was perfect. I don't know if I would have enjoyed it so much if it were rainy. Nicky, our tour guide, was the consummate guide--fun, knowledgeable, comfortable and patient. At first I was disappointed we couldn't shop along the tour, then perfectly understood it would have been a nightmare to keep corralling in everyone to keep going. I was staying in the area so I had the opportunity to go back and shop. From a marketing view, the coupons definitely brought me back and the merchants benefitted. I wouldn't recommend it for young kids and then only older kids if they are inquisitive and most of all like hanging out with you for 3 hours. My 16 y.o. liked it but more for the fact that we were visiting family and we were together. He did enjoy learning about the various aspects we were exposed to but I'm not sure all teens would be. It is hard to describe, as it is not a Taste of Chicago or an eating tour. Your advice was very good about eating first. My favorite was the oil and vinegar, as the quality was truly amazing. My least favorite was Ashkenaz (and I'm Jewish). The latke was oily, heavy, and non-descriptive. Perhaps a Vienna Beef hot dog place would be a great start or if Ashkenaz could offer something else it would have been a more interesting start. I was so glad it got better after the latke. The Catering/Chocolate was also a tad disppointing. It needs a little more punch to it--perhaps one more tasting of a salad or fruit. I loved all the others. Bathroom breaks came at a perfect time and it ended at a perfect time. I was staying in the area so I didn't mind the different start and stop. The store merchants and employees were very warm and friendly. We really enjoyed going back and learning more and buying! It was a pleasant and informative walk that showed you Chicago is made up of friendly diverse neighborhoods that feel very small town. I also loved the quality of the places you took us--no dumps! With the current focus on buying local and conserving it was an absolute pleasure to visit a neighborhood where you could walk anywhere and buy everything you need. It was a wonderful representation of what makes Chicago the best "Big" city with a "small" town flavor. | ||||||

| My tour guide, Nicole, was very warm and inviting. She really liked living in Chicago and provided a view as a resident. I went back to purchase items in a few of the stores later. I found the map that was provided to be a very smart move since some of us did not know where we were and how to get back to the stores efficiently. Thanks for a great time! | ||||||

A Must Do Activity for Locals and Visitors

| We loved this tour! As a Chicagoan, now suburbanite, it was great to see the local businesses and their history. The shop owners and staff were so friendly and knowledgeable. The food was fantastic. We learned so much on the tour and in a very fun way. Thank you for the great day and to Nicki, our tour guide, you are the best. I have already told my son, who lives a block from Ashkenaz, about his neighborhood businesses. A suggestion, when we were in Lincoln Park, on Clark Street, we were steps from the scene of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre, 2122 N. Clark Street. Since not only was that a defining moment in Chicago history, but since it is known by most visitors, it should be a stop along the way. Also, noting Ashkenaz's history as the most popular restaurant on the North Side long before it moved to it's present location. Also a mention of the beginning of Crate and Barrel on Wells Street to what it has become. Thank you again for a great tour, guide, and perfect weather! We are eagerly looking for the next Food Tour. | ||||||

| When we found this tour on the internet we did not know exactly what we were getting into but WE LOVED IT!! The tour guide was very knowledgeable, pleasant and kept things moving. The different locations visited were outstanding and the food was marvelous. Getting to go into the different neighborhoods and hearing the stories about events that happened in them was very interesting. I would highly recommend this great tour to anyone who wants to get a real view of Chicago city life. | ||||||

| We took the tour our first day in Chicago, which is when I recommed taking it. We had four in our group ranging in ages from 33 to 66. The walk was pleasant for all of us. I loved the Tea shop, because I drink tea everyday. Who knew there was so much to learn about tea? The cooks in our group loved the Spice Merchants. Of course, who wouldn't love Truffled Sea Salt? We all enjoyed the Old Town Oil. They mixed different oils and basalmic vinegars together for you to taste. The variety was amazing. The spinach stuffed pizza was really great. The best we had in Chicago. There were also several chocolate stops, but our favorites are listed above. We went back to the shops after the tour and made our purchases. They offer shipping at great prices. A great opportunity to buy as much as you want and not have to worry about carrying it home. It was also very interesting to learn about all of the different architecture and the home prices in each neighborhood. We LOVED the tour, and I just can't say enough good things about it! It was our favorite thing we did while in Chicago! | ||||||

| I recommend this tour to anyone. Our tour guide was great. I loved seeing shops and restaurants that I would not have otherwise visited without this tour. My husband and I went back to some of the shops a couple of days after the tour because we liked them so much. | ||||||

Tasty & Informative

| This was a great tour of local Chicago neighbourhoods. It was great to get out of the downtown area to see the local haunts. Our guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The food tasting stops were overall very good. The spice house stop was not great. I would have rather tasted the spices and flavours with a mix/dip/veggies or something like that, within a food sample. Also, the cheese stop at the deli could have been more interesting with more variety and information. It was a little boring and lacked real interest and information as far as the stops went. But the pizza, fudge pot and tea stops made up for the spice house. The tea house was the best model for information. Overall, every stop (except the tea) could have presented more information on the foods and the processes for making the foods. The distance was reasonable to walk, even in the heat. I also liked that it was a small group of 16, which made everything much easier. Overall, we were satisfied and full after our visits, with a variety of foods. | ||||||

| I was visiting my brother and cousin in Chicago for the first time, and we thought to do the Chicago Food Tours to kill some time on a Sunday afternoon. I was there for the weekend and the food tours was by far the most exciting and best event for the weekend. Not only was it a food tour, but we also got a historical tour of the city and did a little walking through Gold Coast, Old Town, and Lincoln Park. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and I would highly recommend it for visitors as well as natives of the city. It is a MUST DO EVENT! Very cheap and affordable too. | ||||||

| The tour included some interesting food places is Chicago that I probably would not have known about. Other places were very well known. The comments from the narrator about the neighborhoods we were walking though were very interesting and the the guide was very enthusiastic. I was disappointed only because the tour was described as a tour of different ethnic neighborhoods and their representative foods, and it was not. Why did we bother walking to a deli that served us a chunk of cheese the size of my thumbnail? Anyway, the tour should be about either historical food establishments in Chicago, or ethnic foods in chicago. | ||||||

Money well spent.

| My wife and I wanted to experience Chicago in a way that you don't normally do. We had been to Chicago before and stayed mainly on the Magnificent Mile and Navy Pier, this time we wanted something different. The tour was very enjoyable with the facts about different Archtectures, eating establishment and the information we found out about different teas, chocolates, spieces, oils and vinegars. This was just want we had asked for and our tour guide (Shane) was very good. The three hour tour did not seem like it took that long. We will recommend this to our friends. | ||||||
