Good sampling food and architecture/history if you’ve never been there.

4.00We signed up for what we were told was a 2 hour tour. This morning we received an email that it was a 3 hour tour with additional stops. With mobility issues and other plans in place for the afternoon, we were informed that the tour was running 30 minutes when we left The Bean, which forced us to leave the tour before the last three stops, including missing the Chicago Dog. However, the tour guides were informative and friendly. P.S. If you are going to add stops, consider adding shopping time at Garrett’s.
Fantastic food tour of Chicago!!!

5.00Fantastic food tour in Chicago! Gabe and Michaela were fantastic guides. Accommodating to the group needs (including one vegetarian in our group) and very knowledgeable about all things Chicago and food. Would highly recommend this tour! All stops were delicious, the vendors welcoming and our tour was even topped off with a warm cider at the christkindl markets. Can’t give 6 stars otherwise I would.

5.00We had a great time touring the city and trying delicious, chicago favorites. Kevin was our guide, and we really enjoyed learning about Chicago history as well as hearing a few of his personal stories. He even asked what our plans were during our stay, and was able to recommend a couple of places for us to check out. Thanks again, Kevin! Would definitely recommend. I do think we should get the option to add alcohol beforehand as we would have loved to add it on, but forgot once we were there.
Great lunch(es) :)

5.00The food walking tour was awesome! Our tour guide, Gabe, was fantastic! He was very informative and a great person to show us around a small part of the city. I wasn't sure if this tour would include enough food, but I was so wrong! At the end of the tour, my wife and I were both stuffed! The food at all of our stops was really good. Nothing that blows your mind away, but all really tasty and fresh! Lots of walking, lots of food and lots of great facts/stories about Chicago.
