We have taken so many...

3.00We have taken so many food tours and generally live them. This one was mediocre. The food was not the best although we did love the Chicago Dog. The brownie wasn’t worth the walk into the hotel. The tour started late because we were waiting on people to arrive. So rather than make the people who were late come suffer, our tour guide made us wait around in the sweltering heat.
Don't miss out.
