| My wife and I wanted to experience some "real" Chicago locales not seen by tourists and this was perfect. We explored neighborhood eateries and specialty shops while enjoying a stroll through town (about 2 miles). Our guide was thoroughly knowledgeable in the history and facts of the neighborhoods and offered great insight into Chicago. We expected more food, they said it would be like a meal but we must be big eaters, I was famished. | ||||||

You won't mind that the tour runs OVER TIME!

| Our tour guide made a valiant effort at keeping our group on schedule, but was ultimately unsuccessful. Of course, WE DIDN'T MIND IN THE LEAST! Each stop represented a unique, fine tasting experience and a local institution, some of which we natives ourselves had never known before! | ||||||
|
A very pleasant and fun experience.

| Very much enjoyed the architectural part of the tour as well as the tasting at some of our eight stops. The tour guide (Shane) was very informative and the tour was not hurried. We were not able to purchase any items during the tour but we were all given maps and coupons to return to the business when the tour was over. It was a lot of walking so wear good shoes. | ||||||

Very interesting Well worth it.

| We thought the tour was great. We went to 8 different stops. 1. Ashkenaz Deli - had a delicious potato pancake 2. Tea Gschwendner - had some freshly brewed tea. Learned alot about tea. Went back to another location after the tour and used a coupon provided on the tour to get a free tea making gizmo with our purchase. 3. Spice House - Had most any fresh spice you could want. Tasted some different cinnamons. 4. Old Town Oil - very unique. Had different olive oils and vinegars. 5. Fudge Pot - had some delicious (and rich) toffee 6. Catering and Chocolate - had some yummy cheeses 7. Bacino's - my personal favorite. Had heart healthy spinach pizza. I would never order such a thing on my own but it was delicious. 8. ethyls chocolate lounge - had some chocolates to finish off the tour. A PB&J one was judged as excellent. It was a great time overall. Our guide was excellent and she shared some good information between stops. A bit of walking but the pace was reasonable and everyone was easily able to keep up. Would recommend to anyone. | ||||||

| Nikki is a great tour guide. Even though it is 3.5 hours of walking it is well worth it. You get to see all kinds of restaurants and also you get to great sightseeing venues. (Old town, Lincoln park, Gold coast, etc.). We are from California and we would recommend this tour in a heartbeat. This is a great way of spending 3.5 hours of your time in the great Chicago. And by the way if you love tea, the tea shop you visit is the best! Thanks for having this great tour. | ||||||

| This was by far the best tour we took while in Chicago. It delivered on all aspects: we learned about several negihborhoods and visited a cross section of family owned businesses that we would not have experienced otherwise. I would recommend that you take the tour early in your visit so you can revisit some of the shops. The tour is a must do for folks new to the area. One word of caution; there is a lot of walking involved and be prepared to spend the full amount of time and don't schedule anything too physical after the tour. | ||||||

A Great Time!

| My wife went on the Food Tasting and Cultural tour of Chelsea Market in New York last February and enjoyed it so much she wanted to experience Chicago's version. I didn't think the tour would be as fun for me, but she insisted and I'm really glad I went along. I lived in Chicago many years ago, and already knew the restaurants at which I like to eat when I visit, but this tour offered a much more unique experience. Our guide, Nicki, was engaging, personable, and laid-back, with a good knowledge of the areas we walked and the places we passed. The food tasting, while fantastic, was really the lesser part of the tour for us. At the end, we were both surprised to find that our favorite stops were Tea Gschwender, The Spice Shop, and the oil and vinegar store. The tour provided coupons and we went back to all three to buy their products after sampling them earlier. Others on the tour declared the chocalatiers, the heart healthy pizza joint, and the cheese shop to be at the top of their list, so there really was something for many different tastes. The stops were a mix of information and tastings and the time flew by despite the distance walked. Everybody on our tour was friendly and all seemed to be having a good time. I can't recommend this tour highly enough, even if you think you know Chicago and all the places to go, you won't be disappointed. | ||||||

| My wife and I,along with another couple ,took this tour on our recent visit to Chicago. It was one of the highlights of our visit to the "Windy City". The tour guide was excellent and well versed . We greatly enjoyed being able to walk some of the quiet neighborhoods and see the outstanding architecture and eateries the city has to offer. The wide range of food tasting made the tour very enjoyable. We highly recommend this tour. | ||||||

| The Chicago Food Tasting and Cultural Walking Tour provided an excellent opportunity for my family and me to visit a number of eateries, food shops, and other culinary establishments we hadn't a hope of discovering otherwise. The samples provided were thankfully just enough to satisfy without stuffing, as the temptation toward the latter would have certainly otherwise been there. Our tour guide, Nikki, was well-informed and enthusiastic; the walking pace was briskly pleasant. I recommend this trip as a great means of familiarizing oneself with the Old Town and Lincoln Park boroughs during one's first few days in town, or simply as an opportunity to sample some of the finest food Chicago has to offer. | ||||||

| The tour guide was very knowledgable about Chicago, very friendly and very fun to be around. We learned a lot more than just about the food and the restaurants in Chicago. We learned about architecture, history, etc. We got to see parts of the city that we probably wouldn't have seen otherwise. The food samples were excellent and plentiful. Would recommend it to everyone!! | ||||||

| The tour was the highlight of our trip. It was blistering hot that day but you can't control the weather ! I would ( and have ) recommended it to all of our friends. I teach a cooking class and will also recommend it to my classes too. Richard Voigt | ||||||

| My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the food tasting and walking tour. Our group was a cross section of the US and some folks from Wales. A casual and informative tour accompanied by some great samplings of foods and sweets (although it was a bit skewed toward the chocolates!) Learning about restaurant options along the way was an added touch and our tour host managed to do it without making it sound like advertising! We would recommend this to anyone as an interesting and different way to experience part of the culture of Chicago. | ||||||

| The tour was excellent. I was impressed by the guide's knowledge of the city and the food was fantastic. There was plenty to fill us up, especially the pizza. An all around great way to spend a sunny afternoon in Chicago. | ||||||
