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.

Best way to start the trip!

Tod was an amazing host! It was our first time in Seattle, so kicking our trip off with a coffee tasting was a perfect choice. We learned so much about the culture and its relationship with coffee. Then he took us deeper into the coffee itself, origins, processing, brewing, etc. I appreciated the care and emphasis on local, fair trade, and the community vibe of everything. We tasted some great coffee too! 10/10 highly recommended.

Caffeinated

Tod was VERY knowledgeable about all things coffee. He gave history of the coffee bean from discovery to current day use, as well as roasting, grinding, and brewing. He also gave us history of Seattle on the walk which was interesting and I appreciated. We sampled 4 different coffees at different local shops. They were all great. I would have been happier with a few more coffee stops. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Great experience

We found this tour very interesting and insightful. Lisa our guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about both coffee and the city culture. We learnt how to taste coffee better but also some very different coffees without spoiling the surprise.

Pretty fun.

Good experience. Good enthusiasm. It would be great to have more than one example of coffee at the first location to make a comparison between roasts.
