5.00My mom and I did this tour. We have been to Chicago numerous times but had never done a food tour. We had Fran as our guide, and we had a wonderful time. She was so informative and entertaining, and this really was a fun-filled 3 hour tour. All the food stops were delicious and accommodating to our group. There was also the bonus highlight of getting to see Christmas lights. We would book this tour again and would highly recommend to any Chicago visitors.

4.00This is tough! Our tour guide Fran was absolutely amazing and had great energy, but I’m not sure I would recommend this food tour. My family and I did the Architecture Boat Tour the day before and this shared the same concept- they both had the same exact information, so that became very repetitive. The food itself was also OK. Nothing amazing or worth wild so we were all a bit disappointed because a lot of the reviews said, it’s the best!
Fun tour
