A must for any visitor to Chicago
Wed, May 14, 08   11:00 AM vtmorris Unspecified Unspecified International Tourist(s) Family With Children
I can say, without any doubt, this was the highlight of our stay in Chicago. We had an extraordinarily friendly tour guide (who was also very good with the four-year-old that was travelling with us), got to sight-see in many picturesque areas, and, of course, indulge in fantastic food. As well as enjoying the tour, you also receive excellent suggestions on future dining. Do yourself and your loved ones a favor and book now!

Good excuse to discover more of Chicago & EAT
Sat, May 10, 08   12:30 PM clairegolata Unspecified 30-39 Unspecified Family Without Children
Loved that I learned more about some of the more off-the-beaten track neighborhoods in Chicago while getting to sample some great/ unique food. Unlike many of the people on the tour who were experiencing Chicago for the first time, I'd been to Chicago several times (my mom lives in the Chicago burbs) and yet I still learned so much about Chicago that I hadn't known before. As for the food, yes, some of these places I could've went to on my own... but would I have ever known to do so? No way. This tour introduced me to places I would never have discovered, and I'm all the better for it.

Great Tour and Taste. Fantastic guide-Niki
Wed, Oct 17, 07   11:00 AM marykgabriel Unspecified 60-69 Combination Family Without Children
We had a great guide on a beautiful fall day with family from out of town! We taste tested interesting and yummy items including tea, spices, cheeses, vinegars & oils, pizza, potato pancakes, butter toffee, etc. We received a lot of very interesting information about the places we visited and the products they carried, as well as the history of the area we walked through. Niki, our guide, was engaging, entertaining, and full of information.

Fun and could use improvement

I also took this tour thru Greenwich Village, NY. I loved it and recommended it many times. Went a second time with family as we were visiting. The Chicago tour needs more history and more diversity amoung the stops. Too much candy and chocolate. Deli - boring, and bad food. Tea shop - informative and great idea Old Town Fudge - fun, tasty, great stop Spice House - I shop there often and enjoy it. They need a bettter presentation and time to shop. Oil Shop - good idea - time to shop is needed Bacino's and Ethel's are fun. You feel too rushed on the tour. Add a half hour and let people shop. We did enjoy ourselves and appreciate your efforts.

Great tour guide, but tour too long
Fri, Aug 10, 07   11:00 AM sharonlin1 Unspecified Unspecified Unspecified Unspecified
We had a great tour guide, very informative and friendly. But 3 hours is a little too long. I would recommend shortening it to 2 hours to maintain everyone's interest. The food samples were NOT very good... except for the chocolate samples.

New Discoveries
Wed, Aug 8, 07   11:00 AM dwkohn Unspecified Unspecified Unspecified Unspecified
We found some great new shops that we will visit again on our next trip to Chicago. There was a nice mix of history, folklore, and architectural "tastings" along with the yummy food tastings. There was enough food for the ladies to call it lunch but definitely not enough for the guys or kids.

very enjoyable afternoon
Sun, Aug 5, 07   2:00 PM beverlyhoch Unspecified Unspecified Unspecified Unspecified
I would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting the Chicago area as well as for those living there. We returned to three of the 8 places to purchase items the next day. Our tour guide was very friendly and upbeat and very informed. I have already told several friends/relatives that the Food Tour is a must on their next visit to Chicago.

Interesting Chicago lore and food history
Tue, Jul 3, 07   11:00 AM Pamelaszabo Unspecified Unspecified Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We enjoyed the neighborhood tour with descriptions of architecture styles. We never would have visited these areas on our own. The food was less in quantity than we expected, but quality was good. Best stop for us, the Spice Shop. We recommend this tour.

A Taste of Chicago
Tue, Nov 10  11:30 AM hudtek Male 40-49 International Tourist(s) Family Without Children
This walking tour gave my wife and I a real taste of a Chicago neighbourhood. We found Wicker Park and Bucktown to be interesting and an example of what urban renewal is all about. It was interesting to see how the area has developed and been restored into an artistic community. It has real character to it. We had more tastings than the Gold Coast tour. Our tour guide, Kent was friendly, knowledgable and kept the tour moving. Our favourite tastings were Hot Chocolate and I-Cream and we look forward to revisiting both of them on our next trip to Chicago.

Highly Recommended!!!

My wife and I spent last weekend celebrating our birthdays and anniversary in Chicago--the Near North tour was definitely the highlight of our trip. The variety of establishments along the tour was fitting for two self-proclaimed "foodies" who prefer cooking over dining; we found extraordinary ingredients to bring home and use in our everyday dishes. My wife was thrilled to find za'atar spice at The Spice House (and I was thrilled to enjoy it on naan with her rendition of hummus from Catering/Chocolate). Our tour guide Shane was excellent--very knowledgable and entertaining. The architectural history included in the tour was unsuspected but certainly embraced. We look forward to returning to Chicago in the near future--the Bucktown/Wicker Park tour will definitely be at the top of our itinerary.

Old Town Local Definately Recommends
Sat, Nov 7  12:30 PM kevjohns Male 30-39 Local Couple on a Date
The tour passes by my condo everyday. I signed us up to take advantage of the nice November weather just to get out and about. I was amazed by the knowledge and new places I pass every day but had no idea. Not sure how I have missed the Deli for the 8 years I have lived 3 blocks away. I will be there weekly. I would recommend this tour for both Locals and Tourists

What impressed me most about this tour was how well it engaged both locals and tourists as well as foodies and casual eaters. Easily the best time and money I spent in Chicago.
