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.

Walk,eat & learn new things about the city.

We had a great time. Our guide was fun, she even knew alot of Chicago history. The food tasting was great, wish we had time to shop at the spice and oil shops. Our group liked the fudge shop the best, and had to force ourselves to eat even more choc. candy. We had great weather, don't think It would have been fun in the rain.

Neighborhood History and Food
Sun, Sep 23, 07   1:30 PM pskalsky Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
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.

Nice way to learn about Chicago neighborhoods

Would highly recommend this tour for those just visiting the city. It's a nice way to get your bearings, understand what the various neighborhoods have to offer, and then ultimately determine where you may want to spend some quality time. The food & retail spots visited were picked well and provided a nice variety of food, beverage, and novelty-ish items.

Excellent way to experience Chicago!

This tour was the perfect mix of food tasting, history, and cultural exploration of the windy city! The guide was really enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and entertaining. I'd recommend it for anyone who likes to walk around and explore a city - it's almost like being shown the best places to eat and see from a friend who lives there.

Mixed feelings
Sat, Sep 22, 07   11:30 AM shellylindsa Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
We enjoyed our tour guide and the walking tour. The stops that we made were interesting. I was disappointed in the amount of food that we had on the tour. We basically had ice tea, some cheese, candy and a slice of pizza. I didn't think tasting balsamic vinegar and olive oil or sniffing herbs counted as "real" food. I thought for $40 a person that really was not much food. I tried to justify it by saying that the tour was 3 and a half hours and exploring Chicago was fun and worth the money.

Fantastic trip-enjoyed everything!

Our guide Jen was fun and knowledgable. The restaurants/stores we visited were wonderful. We stopped in places we would never notice on our own. Everyone was friendly and the tastings were great. We went back to several stores and purchased items we sampled. This is one of the best Chicago tours I've taken. We look forward to taking the Loop tour you may be planning for the Spring. If you have a mailing list, please put us on it!

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 Super Taste of Old Town plus some
Mon, Sep 17, 07   1:30 PM nanny123 Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
We met Tad at appointed time and then the fun began. Tad was very personable as well as knowledgeable of the city of Chicago and also of the establishments that participated in the Food Tour. It was a nice variety of tastes as well as details of the area. I had participated in a food tour in New York City in April. Due to my enjoyment of it, my husband and I elected to try the one offered in Chicago. My husband was delighted and I certainly was not disappointed. Thank you.

Great way to see the city
Mon, Sep 17, 07   1:30 PM meganmocik Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
This was my first time to Chicago and I was there for business. I decided to take the tour as a way to see the city for its food and charm. I was by myself but my group and leader made me feel very welcome. It was great to go into all these local shops and experience the passion that the owners had for their craft. Our guide was very knowledgeable not only about the places we had tastings at but about the city in general. It was a wonderful way to see the city and hands down the best part of my trip!

This was a birthday present for my mother and she loved it. We live in the Chicago area and have never been to any of the places we toured. They were all very good and the tour guide was great!

PERFECT
Sat, Sep 15, 07   11:00 AM Judymartin Female 40-49 Local Group of Friends
I booked this tour online without any knowledge (besides the reviews I read) of what to really expect. I was FAR from disapointed!! This was the most awsome day. You get a guided casual fun walk around the beautiful neighborhoods of Chicago, with stops along the way to taste and learn about the foods and the neighborhoods. The tastings are not just small bites. You really get a large sample to taste and sometimes there are seconds to go around. Walking around Chicago in the awsome, beautiful, interesting neighborhoods, snacking as you go, is my idea of the perfect day....and it was!!

A suggestion: Tour guide should wear something bright (a scarf or hat) or carry something distinct (a banner or flag so s/he stays visible in a crowded area.
