Reviews
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.
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.
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.”

5/5 Stars – An absolute highlight of my trip!
I had a fantastic time on our tour with Andre! He was incredibly friendly, deeply knowledgeable, and made the entire experience so engaging and fun. Not only did we get to try an amazing variety of local food and see the sights, but Andre's passion for New Orleans' history and culture truly brought the city to life. He kept the pace relaxed, made everyone feel welcome, and shared stories you just won't find in a guidebook. If you are visiting New Orleans, definitely book a tour—and if you get Andre as your guide, you're in for a real treat!
