The Chicago Food Tour of Chicago's China Town was the best food tour I've ever been on. There was just enough history mixed with food parings and walking to make the entire experience perfect. Learning the authentic ways to quietly grab the attentions of the wait staff along with learning about the history and traditions surrounding the creation of China Town in Chicago was an excellent balance of what a food tour needs. Our guide (Lisa) was a wealth of knowledge and obviously comfortable with all the places we visited as well. Now that I've attended this food tour, I have the confidence to explore Chicago's China Town on any future trips to Chicago - which makes this tour an even better value! - @Dana365 |

It seemed a little pricey, but afterwards we thought that we absolutely received our money's worth! |

Great food with an wide range of taste surprises. Enjoyed the descriptions of where the food would have come from in China and why it was so spicy, bland, or made with certain ingredients. I would have enjoyed more of the history of the old Chinatown and some eateries that had been around for generations. The tour guide was very friendly and had lots of good information to share and kept things moving at a good pace. |

Nice way to feel more comfortable going and eating in china town on our own. Would be interested to have less quantity of any one food and more diversity. |

We had taken the Gold Coast Near North tour a few months ago and loved everything about it. This tour was ok, but it was about an hour too long. Our last tour guide talked about history, etc. along the way to the destinations, which would have been great for this one to do also. But we did LOVE our tour guide, she was awesome. If you could shorten this tour to 2 hours it would be much better. |

This is a really great tour that you do not want to miss. Jess our guide took us to some great restaurants and filled us in on the local history and even some Chinese culture. We had so much fun, the next time we are in Chicago, we would take another tour from this group. |

From the time we booked the tickets to the conclusion of the tour we have nothing but praise for this adventure in food, culture and history. Rob our ticketing agent through Zerve did a wonderful job explaining the tour, informing us of what to expect, including every bit of detail necessary for us to find our way. He was most personable and professional in his approach. Our tour guide who is chinese, I just forgot her name, was delightful, warm, knowledgable and informative and fun. She also received the information from Rob that it was my husbands 60th birthday and she had a candle and all sang Happy Birthday to him. The food was awesome too. Overall it was an excellent day! We would love for you to do a tour of the Devon Street area. Thank you .... |

Food was great, guide was great and learned a lot about the culture and history of the area. I've bragged about it to friends back home and anyone visiting Chicago as a must-do! |

Spectacular Dim Sum Display

I was informed what is available for a resident of Chicago. Chinatown is so crowded that I have avoided it until the tour. I plan to take my husband and friends since Dim Sum is an expanding dining adventure. |
