A "must do" in Chicago!
Sun, Aug 2, 09   12:00 PM featherdevi Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
This tour provides an excellent and unique opportunity to experience the architecture, food and vibe of Chicago neighborhoods. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and energetic, and provided us with a wealth of knowledge about the city and its history. I'd highly recommend this tour -- it was the highlight of our trip!

Not too bad
Sun, Aug 2, 09   11:30 AM schnoberts Female 30-39 International Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
We really liked the spice shop and the pizza restaurant and the chocolate shop. We thought the oil shop was weak. It sold mediocre oil. We have sourced better oil ourselves. we personally have better balsamic vinegar than was on offer in this shop. Weak point of tour. It would have been helpful if the guide had made recommendations of other restaurants/cafes on our route. Generally the other places were weak and the food was mediocre. This includes the oil shop and the deli and the sandwich shop. The Wicker Park food tour is much better.

Come Hungry!

With a Ruben on Rye starting as an appetizer and finishing off with a hearty pizza, it is hard to finish all the good food. After all, the generous portions offered will guarantee fulfillment to even the hungriest of guests. I'd recommend the customer to come hungry and leave happy!!! :-)

fun, fun, fun ..... very enjoyable and educational

My husband and I enjoyed the tour very much. We were not sure about the spice shop and the Oil shop when we signed up. It turned out that the Old Town Oil shop was our favourite. We loved the experience so much that we went back the next day and tasted more combinations and ordered some to be shipped home. We enjoyed all the stops on the tour. Our tour guide made everything came alive. The pace was good, quantities and mix of food very good. Would recommend it to anyone who is visiting Chicago.

Greatest way to see the city
Sun, Aug 2, 09   11:00 AM stallman2 Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
My husband and I took the Old Town tour in early August. Our tour guide was Jen. She certainly made our tour worth every penny. We always enjoy exploring bigger cities in a smaller view through the individual neighborhoods. This tour was exactly what we were looking for. It was fun to meet new people and to learn so much about the neighborhoods. All of the tastings were great. The Old Town Oil and Bacino's were my personal favorites. This tour is great for all ages and palates.

Great tour
Sat, Aug 1, 09   1:00 PM kkaler Female 50-59 Local Group of Friends
Our group thoroughly enjoyed ourselves on this tour. Nikki, our guide, was outstanding. She was energetic, knowledgeable of the area and its history and architecture, and was very attentive to everyone on the tour. She casually chatted with everyone and was attentive to the needs of the group. Nikki put in the extra effort to ensure everyone on the tour had a great time. There was a nice variety of stops on this tour. Several places that on my own I probably would have walked right by, but am so glad we visited on the tour. I learned so much and went back to three of the stops after the tour to make purchases. Our group had taken the Bucktown tour earlier this summer and loved it, but didn't anticipate we could enjoy this one just as much. We were wrong. While the other tour provides you with probably a little more food, we still felt like we had some delicious, generous tastings. I learned more on this tour about the businesses and their wares. Both tours are truly fabulous. The only complaint we might have with this one is that the last stop on the tour is quite a distance from the rest. I won't even call it a criticism because we enjoyed OZ park and learned several interesting things along the way AND the food at the last stop makes it well worth the trip.

Needs more focus
Sat, Aug 1, 09   12:30 PM marypros Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
Tour needs to focus on food or history, not both. I went on an excellent tour of Boston's North End with a chef who explained Italian food and cooking, and I would have liked having a similar experience in Chicago. Likewise, I would have welcomed a more focused tour of historic homes and neighborhoods, rather than mere admiration for the lifestyles of the rich and famous that was presented to us. However, I did like the pace of the tour and the varied neighborhoods that we explored.

Great way to spend a few hours!
Sat, Aug 1, 09   12:00 PM ksantill Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
I reserved spots for my fiance and I as a birthday surprize for him. It was great! This was his first trip to Chicago and his only request was that we try some authentic local food. This tour was spot on! It was very organized and informative. It rained durnig the first half of our tour, but our guide (Jessie) had such a positive attitude, provided ponchos for those who wanted them and we moved on. Even the rain couldn't ruin our day. The perfect end to the trip was the pizza...such a fun time! I can't wait to try the other tour.

Wicker Park Tour a great experience
Sat, Aug 1, 09   11:30 AM Ricardamundo Male 50-59 International Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
We joined the tour at George's Hot Dog (not sure if I have the name right) and spent a great 3 hours with our group and our tour guide Ben. At first the price seemed a little high but this is more than a walking tour. We had a nice array of tasty treats, a tour of the neighbourhood including commercial and residential areas, a sampling of typical Chicago architecture (small/local scale as opposed to the grandeur of downtown) and small doses of history mixed into our walk. In the end we felt it was very worthwhile and a good value. The Chicago hot dog, the chocolate drink with marshmallow (rated no 1 by our group) the antipasto treat, the falafel, the pizza and the ice cream were all great stops along the way and gave us a "taste of Chicago" and the neighbourhood. The pace was great, our tour guide friendly and informative (and a cool dude at that) and the time flew by as we toured the area, taking in shops, restaurants, homes, parks etc. The only thing to be concerned about is making sure you know where you are going when you head out to meet the group. We came from downtown and while we had no problem, it took some planning on our part and we left a little extra time which turned out to be needed. If you are looking for something different, a break from the hustle and bustle of downtown, and want to learn more about Chicago, take this tour. We highly recommend this leisurely walk and if we get back to Chicago, we would take another Chicago Foods tour without hesitation. Thanks Ben!

LOVED THIS TOUR!
Sat, Aug 1, 09   11:00 AM andreadebs Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
My husband and I had heard of this tour a couple of years ago and decided to do this specific activity to celebrate our anniversary. What a pleasant surprise to have such an enthusiastic guide (Jen) who was also extremely knowledgeable about the area. This included the history and architecture of the neighborhood as well as the food we were sampling. The food, by the way was very good. She explained how it was made, the people behind it, as well as offered us plenty to try. It was a very personalized tour. Jen wrote down lots of other places for us to try in her home town of Chicago, and just wouldn't let us go until all of our questions were answered. We would definitely do another food tour in Chicago or other places that this company offers them. What a secret treasure!!!! We will spread the news!
