don't miss this tour! Elizabeth gave a great tour, a mixture of the city history and the history of the food and restaurants themselves. When they say "Come hungry" they are not kidding! There is so much food on this tour it's amazing. Don't miss this tour and hopefully, get Elizabeth as your guide Great personality made it so fun and interesting!

We were a small group so the tour was about 2 hours as we spent less time at each food stop - a bigger group would be closer to the 3 hour mark. Varied food offerings - deep pan pizza (crunchy not doughy which was a relief), brownies, German sausage and egg noodle, Italian beef, chocolate and popcorn. All the food was good but the medic of savoury then sweet then savoury again was a bit odd and we brought our chocolate home rather than eat it between 2 savoury offerings. Elizabeth our guide was fun and engaging, and clearly knew the city and its food history. The tour included some historic sights and she took us into buildings we probably wouldn’t have seen without her, so that was a great bonus. Overall a good tour but perhaps more thought needed on the order of stops?

We really enjoyed Elizabeth and the tour....pizza, Italian beef, popcorn and others really made for a nice step into Chicago food, and we got to hear about some history, both old and new! The stop at the Cultural Center was truly something to see.....don't hesitate, do it....its a great tour!

If you find yourself in the Chicago area this tour is a must. The attraction is not just great food to be shared with old and new friends alike, but the history of the establishments are just as great as the food itself.

It was an excellent tour due to the guide who not only gave us info on the food we ate but about the history of Chicago. We got to see some interesting food places but also cultural highlights.

Delish!!!! If you have a sweet tooth then this is the tour for you. Wish we did more real food rather than majority of sweet treats, but overall a nice tour.
