5.00Eliot was an awesome tour guide! Provided fun facts about the city and the food we were experiencing and took us into some fun (and beautiful) buildings that weren’t on my list but added greatly to the experience!
A great tour with kid friendly food

5.00I had a great time on this Chicago food walking tour, even though we had rain for part of it. Our guide, Lance, was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience fun with interesting facts about the food, the neighborhood’s history, and the surrounding architecture. The pace was relaxed with not too much walking involved, which made it easy to enjoy each stop. I also really appreciated that Lance responded to a follow-up question by text the next day -great customer service. I’d definitely recommend doing this tour early in your stay so you can come back later to revisit the area and your favorite food spots.
Spend a few hours...

5.00Ended up being the only family on it, so it was basically a private tour! Had a great time with our guide Mike, who had a lot of knowledge of and love for Chicago.

5.00Very personable tour guide. We did not feel rushed. Lance also gave us extra history of the Loop and we walked inside some historic buildings which was great since it was so frigid outside and kept us from getting too cold between stops.
Would recommend putting this in your list of next trip to Chicago

5.00There’s a lot of food. Our tour took 3.5 hours, but we were stuffed by the end! But no beverages are included (at the basic rate) so consider bringing your own with you.
Chicago food awesomeness!
