Would do it again

Everyone in my group was both educated and entertained by our tour guide, Nicki. She was a delight and my husband and I can't wait to come back next year for the new Bucktown/Wicker tour.

A thrill for the senses and yummy for the tummy.

We were visiting our twenty something daughter who lives in Chicago. She thought that this tour would interest all of us because it highlighted some shops that she knew nothing about, and of course, there was food, which will keep my husband and I happy. What I loved was getting up close and personal with the food, sniffing spices, tasting vinegars, and standing over candy as it was being made. All of the stops were great, learned something new at each one. Loved the walk through the different neighborhoods, the bits of history, the smattering of local real estate gossip. Our guide (Jennifer) couldn't have been better; she was knowledgeable, polite, engaging, and articulate. She set a warm tone and our small group (7) all became friends and chatted away as we walked. I would love to do another tour and may check out the Bucktown tour next summer when we visit. We did a lot of walking but were never tired with so many stops and refreshments. While I understand the need to not let people shop, I think there should be away to encourage the individual merchants to have already packaged tour sample gifts for perhaps $10 that you could pay cash for and take with you (or else have pre-paid coupons). Many people may not have the opportunity to return for shopping and would like some small item from a shop as a remembrance. The tour really left an impression on me, it was a feast for the senses and most importantly for our bellies.

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.

We had a great time...our tour guide Kent was a lot of fun. It was raining the whole time we were walking, but it was still definitely worth it. Highlights were the olive oil and balsamic vinegar tasting and the scrumptious stuffed pizza at the end.

fun intro to local businesses and culture

The guide was great. She was well informed and responsive to questions. I've lived in the city for about a year and learned some new things about my neighborhood. I like history so personally I like more cultural and historical details, but the tour of the Gold Coast-Old Town neighborhoods was a nice introduction for my friend who's from out of town.

We really enjoyed our tour

My husband and I were coming to Chicago for the first time and I saw this tour on the Internet. I thought it looked fun but he was a little apprehensive about it. I ended up talking him into going with me and after the tour we were both really glad that we had done it. We thought it was well worth the price. Our tour guide was great. I will recommend it to anyone I know going to Chicago. It was a great experience and we felt like we learned a lot!

Wonderful way to see Chicago and to taste different types of food. We had a party of six, five of us were from out of town and one was a local and we all enjoyed ourselves very much. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

A cordial and enlightening experience
Sun, Aug 31  12:30 PM Corliss Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Our guide, Jennifer, went out of her way to make each of us feel welcome and engaged. Unlike many tour guides, Jennifer managed to maintain a freshness and enthusiasm for the tour. She never rushed us through material. We enjoyed seeing neighborhoods, parks, and homes and learning interesting things about them. The food was delightful, but we are most captivated by the teas and spices. It's going to be a whole new world for us. We look forward to better food and drink this winter, and we'll think of the tour fondly as we indulge.

Great tour and food but prepare to stay awhile

My wife and I really enjoyed this tour. The locations of the eateries and quality of food were superb. However, the tour ran an hour over of the scheduled time and we had to run out at the end to make prior plans. We highly recommend but be prepared to stay longer then the agenda states.

We really enjoyed the tour and our guide. She was fun and kept it interesting. We were not able to get back to the oil store before it closed ( stopped off at a pub), but they did unlock the doors at the spice shop and let us shop since Monday was a holiday and we were leaving before they would re-open. We went back to the deli the next day after we tasted the potato cakes on the tour. The only thing I wished to be different was the pizza, I think a good greasy sausage and pepperoni would have been better than the healthy spinach...=) We have come back to Indiana and told everyone about the tour and several of our friends are interested next time they visit Chicago.
