All I can say is TRY IT!!! My husband and I had a wonderful time and great food. He drank his first ever cup of tea. I had one of the best slices of pizza I have ever had. Our guide was very informative. After the tour, we went back to some of the stores and purchased quite a few of our favorite things. I can't wait to get our family together and do some more of these in other locations.

If you only have time for one tour when visiting Chicago then this is it. You et away from the high rise buildings into a lovely neighbourhood and find out a bit about the history whilst giving your tastebuds the most amazing experience. Jaci our guide was humorous, engaging but most of all made sure we had the best time. If I could score more then 5 I would.

As one of my first food tours, this hooded me. She was great - as A personal chief, she had a great talk on all of the local stuff. Learning the history of the area and what makes each food special was wonderful.

We had a good time - tour was worth the time and cost. It would have been interesting to get more historical information on the neighborhoods.
