Fantastic snap shot of what Chicago has to offer

| I had the most amazing time on this tour. It was my first visit to Chicago, I only had a few days in town and I had my 10 month old son with me - who also loved the tastings at every stop. It is the perfect combination of walking, food and the history of Chicago. The food was great and afterwards I met up with my husband and re-traced the tour with him this time purchasing all the produce that we enjoyed and taking advantage of the discount coupons. Now that I have left Chicago I have come away feeling that I've had least had a good taste of what it has to offer and I will certainly do this tour again when I'm next in town. | ||||||

| Kent, our guide, was extremely well versed with this part of the city. He was funny, friendly, and offered great tips on where to go beyond just the tour. Our group loved all of the tasty food samples (some felt like a complete meal!) and the historic guide of the homes and architecture. It was a perfect balance! Kent was even prepared with rain ponchos when the weather turned astray. I would definitely recommend this trip to travelers and locals alike! | ||||||

| I was really looking forward to this kind of tour that I set up for myself. I was even more impressed and it exceeded my expectations. The food participants were wonderful and unusual enough to make it interesting. The architectural tour was very interesting and we had a very informative guide. I feel like we were received very well in each of our tastings and the tour moved along at a really good pace. I would recommend that the bathroom at the hot dog site be cleaner than when I experienced it. A lot of people use it at the start of the tour and it is a unisex bathroom which left something to be desired. | ||||||

| The food was excellent and our leader, Kent was a lot of fun. He was very knowledgeable of the area and we loved seeing all the old houses and their history that were in this neighborhood. He kept everything moving but we didn't feel rushed. When it started to rain on us, he had rain ponchos for everyone so we could keep moving. It was an excellent tour and I would highly recommend it to everyone. The food choices were interesting, different and very good. We were looking for something different to do in Chicago and we found it. Thanks! | ||||||

| This tour and our tour guide were absolutely wonderful!! The choice of venues and food was a very good mix. It also incorporated local specialties such as Vienna Beef and Stuffed Pizza. Each unique stop was a well-known, high-quality local storefront/restaurant that provided samples of their signature product. Our tour guide Arianne was very knowledgeable and well spoken. While walking along, she shared the history of various architecture, streets, mansions, buildings, and parks. My husband and I as well as our two college-age children ALL thoroughly enjoyed this tour!!! We even went back to a few places on our own after the tour was over!! Well done!!! | ||||||

| This tour was a highlight of our trip to Chicago. Our tour leader was knowledgable, enthusiastic, and absolutely charming. She made sure all participants on the tour were comfortable, especially one lady with a walking device who needed a chair to rest on at each stop. The selection of purveyors was a pleasant surprise - each one gave us a sense of the "only in Chicago" products they produced. I was smitten by the olive oil and balsamic vinegar shop, and I already have my order to email to them! We received tastes and demonstrations at each stop and were quite full by the end of the tour. I loved the historical notes on Old Town that our guide shared throughout the walk! I'd recommend this tour to anyone! | ||||||

| Interesting and delicious food tastings. Saw more of the area and learned more local architecture and cultural information than expected - a very pleasant surprise. Will definitely go back to some of the shops and will do the other CPF tour next time I visit Chicago. | ||||||

| There were four of us and we loved the variety of places we went. Later in the week we went back to eat at a restaurant which was recommended on our tour --Bistrot Margot, which was wonderful. Whille there, even though it was pouring rain, we returned to the chocolate, oil and sspice stores for more purchases. Now I feel like I actually know the neighborhood. I have a slight mobility handicap, so I took a taxi from the sixth to seventh place and skipped the longest walk, but none of the food. The rest of the group walked. We both were pleased with our experiences. | ||||||

Good variety of tastings and picturesque walk

| One suggestion would be to add an additional 30 minutes to tour so that participants could buy items from proprietors - I took the tour on a weekday, the stores were not busy so this might have worked - personally, I had jam packed days so was unable to go back to the stores and I suspect others were in the same position - being able to purchase right then and there would have made the tour perfect for me | ||||||

| This tour was extremely interesting. Our guide was full of information and very upbeat and helpful. All of the places we stopped to eat were very delicious and the store owners were very helpful as well. The architectural stops on the tour were interesting as well, they showed you a part of the city you wouldnt have known about otherwise. Definately would reccomend to anyone going to Chicago. Next time we will definately try the other Chicago tour offered. | ||||||

Light on the Food, Heavy on the Selling?

| Despite the warnings at the start of the tour that we should supend and diets that we might be on this tour did not deliver in the food consumption department. Of the seven stops only four actually provided food (if you don't count licking spices or sipping olive oil as food consumption). And apart from the final wedge of gooey pizza all other tastings were just that: tiny tastings. We did get iced tea to drink, but only after what was a ten minute 'onfo-mercial' exhorting us to return to the tea shop to purchase teas and tea-making gadgets. Most of he food stops are not really culturally linked to the areas although by American standards most are long-established. Having said this I'd still recommend the tour. It was a good long and aimiable walk, the day was sunny and warm, our guide was cute and enthusiastic and as a regular visitor to Chicago I saw things (and tasted things) I had never seen or tasted before. | ||||||

Entertaining and Informative

| What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Our guide was knowledgable, interesting and engaging. We never would have thought to go to some of the stores, but can't wait to return. We anticipated tastings, but didn't realize just how much information we would get about the food and the neighborhoods. The only disappointment was not having time to make any purchases, but that just encourages us to return to the neighborhoods for shopping and eating. We also liked getting suggestions for other neighborhood restaurants to try. We would highly recommend this tour for tourist, but probably even more for locals. | ||||||

| My husband and I enjoyed the tour. We had the fortune to go during an art festival, so that provided a bit more atmosphere. Nice to tour some shops that we wouldn't typically visit on our own. I was looking for a bit more "Chicago" in the tour, and the food I think was relatively ubiquitous -- with the exception of the pizza--but I did enjoy the walk and I enjoyed the neighborhoods. We probably never would have walked that way on our own - just no reason to do so, so I'm glad we took the tour. The guide was wonderful and the group was nice, as well. Overall, I would recommend to someone looking for something relatively laid back; it was a nice way to spend a few hours on a Sunday. | ||||||
