Reviews
Molly was fun and besides AMAZING seafood, we visited historical sites and learned more about Boston’s rich history. She even made changes to the tour to avoid places that we had already been! We do food tours all over the world and this one is at the top of the list.
Wow!! We would have given this tour 6 stars if we could. Our tour guide, Dave, was so knowledgeable and spun the stories to weave Chicago's history so clearly for these East Coast visitors. Loved the mixture of interior and street landmarks. We learned so much and will be sure to recommend this tour to others. A true highlight activity of our visit to Chicago.
Ms. Ally, you were truly incredible. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for sharing your knowledge, your stories, and your passion with us. You made this experience unforgettable, and we’re so grateful for you.”
Traveler reviews
Rich was very engaging,...
Rich was very engaging, personable and knowledgeable. He made an effort to remember each of our names and where each of us was from.
See and taste Chicago!
We really enjoyed the tour overall. The only downside was the amount of walking but we realize we wouldn’t have seen as much. Our guide, Rich was great and we learned so much. We liked all the food!
Rain or Shine
Our tour guide Dave was awesome. Our tour went through 3 seasons and a monsoon and he just kept going. Weather was crazy; you needed a fan when we started, by lunch it was dark, lightening and pouring rain and by the time it was over the weather had dropped 20 degrees. The food was very good.
Rain or Shine
Despite the downpour of rain Dave stayed on task and tried to find shelter along our route. Our tour started off with you needing a fan, turned into a storm and ended with an almost 20 degree drop in temperature.
Great experience.
Chad was very knowledgeable. He did a great job. Highly recommend.
