Great Surprises and Exercise

My beau and I were, and still are, quite pleased with our Near North tour. Nicki (sp?) was a great guide. She gave us interesting information and engaged us in great conversation. Our group was small, just one other couple, so we felt appreciative of Nicki's attentive manner. The food was great. We had dined at Malnati's the night before, and came to realize that we'd not had the best deep dish in Chicago until Friday afternoon. All of the food was great, and the nice weather was a bonus. We will certainly be doing this again!

Foodies forever

The 'Foodie North' tour is a great mix of food-tasting, Chicago history and architecture. The walking route is easy, scenic in places and very well-planned. Our guide Kate was terrific and we enjoyed every stop along the way. I'd highly recommend this 3-hour jaunt. If we had time, we probably would have also tried the other food tour through Bucktown and Wicker Park.

We really enjoyed the tour. The guide, Kate, was enthusiastic and informative. We saw a beautiful area of Chicago, made our own reuben with the best pastrami we've ever eaten, sampled some great candy, and learned about oils and vinegar as well as spices. It was a pleasant way to get a better feel for the area.

Great tour of Old Town

We really enjoyed the tour and our guide, Jennifer, was terrific! This was our first visit to Chicago and we love to walk around and get a vibe for the area and eat at local places. We did a similar tour last year in New York, Greenwich Village - so we wanted to do a food tour in Chicago since they are well known for great restaurants. The stops on the Near North tour were good, and the food samples were good. It is a "stretch" to call it a food tour with a tea store, spice store and oil/vinegar store on the list of places to visit. The only real food samples were at the Jewish deli and the pizza place. The candy store was good and we got to sample English Toffee. The proprietor interacted with us, brought us behind the counter and demonstrated making candy. The employee at the tea store was very informative, too. Our tour guide, Jennifer, is passionate about her work, and really made a great effort to tell us interesting information about the area. She also helped us decide on other things to do with our remaining time in Chicago. I would recommend this tour to friends.

Wonderful experience in Chicago neighborhoods
Fri, Jun 26  11:00 AM royhoward Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
This was a delightful way to experience the unique shops and businesses in the neighborhoods of Chicago. Walking made the tour more intimate and fun and you were up close and personal rather than a ride by on a bus. There was more interaction with the tour guide and other members of the group. The tasting was great fun. The only negative of this tour was one of the stops where the workers were indifferent to us and gave the feeling we were a bother. I would like to see the Catering establishment changed to one of the Bakeries we saw in the area. Also, it would have been better if we could have purchased items during the tour. How many of the group had the time or took the effort to return to one of the stores to buy? All in all, this was one of most enjoyable and different tours I have taken.

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
Fri, Jun 26  11:00 AM SarahDoran Female 50-59 Combination Family With Children
We really enjoyed the three towns and all the info about them and the architecture, etc. At the end of our tour (3 1/2 hrs), we had to run to catch another tour we'd booked, but would have liked to go back into some of the shops. I knew we weren't to buy food at the shops, but it wasn't clear ahead of time that we should have planned nothing afterward so that we could re-trace our steps. Thankfully, we can order things on-line. Jennifer, our guide, was terrific. She was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and very easy to understand and hear. She really helped make the tour great!

Must do tour!

This was a great tour of Wicker Park/Bucktown areas of Chicago. These are places we would never have gone to otherwise. Our guide was friendly and knew so much about the area and the history. Definitely would like to take the other tour, but the architectural information was a little long on a hot day in the city.

Great Time

Our guide Jennifer was wonderful, her enthusiasm and knowledge of the area as well as of the history of the city and food was excellent. The stores/eateries were well chosen and their reception and offerings were very good. We were very lucky to have such a small group, 6 travelers, which made the whole event so much more enjoyable and relaxing. We really enjoyed being exposed to new areas of Chicago and Jen made the day trip one we will long remember. Thank you for making the experience available to newcomers/visitors to Chicago, we plan on returning! John & Linda

Wonderful Experience
Thu, Jun 25  11:30 AM RobertHorne Male 60-69 Unspecified Unspecified
My wife and I agree that this tour was the highlight of our trip to Chicago. Our tour guide, Kent, never stopped talking. He shared his architectural knowledge, restaurant reviews, history of the neighborhoods and personal experiences with great ease. All of the food we had from the Chicago dogs, iced chocolate drink, pasta salad, pizza and beer, falafel, and ice cream was excellent and enough for lunch and dinner. You can expect that we will pass our praises onto everyone we know that plan to visit Chicago. Thanks and we will see you again. As an afterthought, when the weather is hot, you might want to suggest that people bring bottled water. We did, but others did not.

We picked this tour because it was listed #1 on TripAdvisor. My hopes were high going in... and they were far exceeded!! This was the best part of our visit to Chicago. I would highly recommend it to people who want a comprehensive tour of Chicago and to those who want to have a GREAT time. Our tour guide, Ariana, was really enthusiastic and informative... what a joy!!! Thank you!!

I enjoyed all the locations very much. Especially the architecture part where we get to walk the food off for a bit. Our tour guide was awesome. I have recommended this tour to everyone that I know. Thank you for the great experience.

Absolutely enjoyable and memorable

My husband and I really enjoyed learning about the local history and architecture during our tour and the stops we made at the local shops really gave us a taste of what Chicago has to offer. We really loved the Old Town Oil shop because of the exceptional collection of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. If you think you don't like balsamic than you have to go there and truly have an out of this world experience that will rock your taste buds' world!! Some of the combinations were rosemary olive oil with strawberry balsamic and to top it off the walnut/apple made me so happy. The stuffed pizza from Bacino's Pizzeria was exquisite and my husband's favorite stop. Well, I loved it all, from the pastrami reuben, that is oh so yummy, to the spices we tasted. Being part of a group is always more meaningful because you socialize with people who come from all walks of life to find enojoyment in something as simple as drinking iced tea on a humid Chicago day! Visiting a new place is nice as a couple but not fun as can be with a group of people who are from around the country or world. Wait, the chocolate from The Fudge Pot was creamy and just really good quality chocolate. This you will enjoy. So, thanks to everyone who plays part in this tour who made our day!! Arianna you rock girl!!!

My son and I went on the Bucktown tour and then went back later in the week to 3 of the places. We would have gone back to more, but ran out of time. Our guide Kent really knew the area and we were filled with great food and great knowledge of a very cool area. Highly recommend this tour!
