EMILY WAS AN OUTSTANDING TOUR GUIDE
|

| This is the second Near North tour that I have taken in the past 2 mos. It just so happens that Emily was my tour guide both times. The tour is outstanding in every way. Emily is a delightful tour guide - she is very knowledgeable, funny and handles the group well. I can't say enough about how wonderful Emily is. Also, all of the store owners on the tour treat us very well. They provide plenty of food/tastings so it feels like a great value for the tour price. I did alot more shopping this time and the shops are definitely places that I will return to, even if I am not on the tour. I am originally from Baltimore, MD and I have guests all summer long. I just discovered it in August, but I will take every guest on this tour and when they come a second time, I will take them to the Bucktown/Wicker Park tour. I didn't even know about that tour, but Emily mentioned it and I am hoping to experience it soon. If you have any information that you can send - perhaps even the tour itinerary (like the map, tour stops, etc.) I would love to take a look at it and use it to persuade some friends who are local to join me. Also, if you have information on any of the other tours that you offer in Chicago, I would love to have it as well. My name is Vickie L. Wash. | ||||||

Very Enjoyable - Great for Out of Town Guests
|

| The tour was outstanding. Our guide, Emily, knew a tremendous amount of information about landmarks on the walking tour as well as the food that we actually tasted. The variety of food for tasting was perfect. I think our tour time went over a bit beyond the slated timeframe, but no one seemed to mind. The different locations chosen for the tastings were all very receptive to us and treated us well. The all had the tastings prepared upon our arrival. All the food/drink/spices that were offered were excellent. I will bring all of my out of town guests on this tour and I will likely make purchases from the vendors in the near future. The tour materials were great - especially the coupons. My only criticism is the fact that it is a little complicated to get back to where we started, but we decided to walk and the map was helpful. | ||||||

Something different

| I visit Chicago every year and each time I try to find something different to do. This was a very enjoyable afternoon. The guide was informative and fun! I would highly recommend this tour not only to visitors but to locals looking for something unusual! | ||||||

Overpriced!

| Way too expensive compared to the amount of food and cultural info included. The only substantial food item was the slice of pizza that was served almost in the end of the tour. The tour kept us hungry to that point while the impression from the brochures was that the food tasting samples would keep the hunger away. | ||||||

| I live locally and went on this tour with my Mother and two aunts. It was a highlight for all of us and one of the most unique and fun tours I've taken while living in Chicago. Our tour guide was upbeat, thoughtful and kept us engaged the entire time. Although we didn't walk fast, be prepared for a lot of walking and standing. You only sit down two times during the 3 hour tour; 10 min halfway and 20 minutes toward end of the tour. The tour says wheelchair friendly, however, in most of the establishments, you must be able to walk up and down stairs while leaving wheelchairs and strollers aside. | ||||||

Fun walk, great shops, and delicious tastings

| If you enjoy unique shops and eating food, this is an event you'd probably like. I do not usually like walking tours because I prefer to move at my own pace, but this one grabbed my eye and held it the entire time. The walk is long-ish, but goes at a slow to very moderate pace; your attention is drawn to cultural and architectural specimens along the way and the myriad tastings allow for periodic refueling. Go with a friend or fellow foodie for a worthwhile experience. (But be prepared to go back in person or online to buy some of the goods you saw along the tour; there is no time to make purchases along the way.) | ||||||

Wonderful way to visit neighborhoods
|

| The food and beverage tastings were great, but the real value is in the visits to the different neighborhoods. Feel like we got a great feel for Chicago by walking through different areas. Our guide, Nikki, was wonderful. In addition to knowing a lot about the food and beverages we sampled, she knew a lot of the history and architecture of the areas we toured. Lots of walking, but well worth it. We ended up going back to some of the places we visited to shop later in the day. | ||||||

A great balance of food and history!

| We love food and naturally booked this tour when we were visiting Chicago. Our tour guide Kate was awesome, and she was great at answering questions and providing some real history. The food we tasted itself was not in abundance, except for the slice of pizza so we were a little disappointed at that. The best part of the tour was the neighborhoods we visited. Most people on tour considered it more of a walking tour of chicago with some snacks on the way! The Spice House, Tea shop and Stuffed Pizza were the highlights. We recommend taking this tour. It was an enjoyable 3 hour event and we would try the other tours this company offers. | ||||||

Rain or Shine!

| When they say the tour goes rain or shine, they aren't kidding. We did our tour during the rain from Gustav and it rained the entire day but it wasn't cold. There is plenty of walking but the stops are terrific and Emily was a great guide who knew a lot about the areas we walked through as well as the stops we made. I particularly enjoyed the Spice Market and Tom, the owner, who gave a great presentation on various cinnamons. The tea shop and oil store were also favorites of mine and I went retraced my steps (still in the rain) to make some purchases. I highly recommend the tour for some great shops and some interesting history of Chicago. | ||||||

| Arianna was awesome and gave the tour with enthusiasm! The food was great, even though I was a little hesitant about the oil shop and the spice shop. My husband hates doing tours, but he thoroughly enjoyed this! We will definetely be ordering some of the oils and spices online. And the pizza at the end was amazing! We're both glad we took this tour! | ||||||

Food Tour Leaves Me Hungery
|

| Sat, May 24, 08 11:30 AM | verbatim | Male | 40-49 | Domestic Tourist(s) | Group of Friends | |
| A short summary of the food tour: The tour lasted approximately three and a half hours and we walked over two miles. The guide Emily was excellent and provided information about the areas visited. The food you receive is: a potatoe pancake, a glass of iced tea, several pieces of chocolate, a couple pieces of cheese, and a piece of pizza. The tour also ends quite a way from where it started which requires another half hour getting back. After visiting Chicago many times my advice would be to rent a bike and have a really nice upscale lunch. You would still have money left over for shopping. I did not feel the tour was worth the price charged. | ||||||

| We thoroughly enjoyed the tour & food tasting was fabulous-such a variety-you definitely don't need lunch. Our guide was friendly & very knowledgeable-learned lots! Only thing I would say is that you might want to stress that this is a lot of walking but I suppose people realize that when it's there in black & white that this is a 3 1/2 hr walking tour. You might want to stress it tho cause I consider myself to be quite healthy & felt it was a long walk-feet were sore! Otherwise fabulous!!! | ||||||
