I went on this tour this past weekend and it was an amazing experience . Colleen was my guide, and I am not sure if I would’ve had the same experience with another guide. She was very energetic, informative, and engaging. She threw in tidbits of Chicago history, as well as little known facts. She was able to not only suggest/recommend different restaurants/bars in the area, but also tell why she liked one more than the other. She was able to answer all questions, and also was patient with me as I tried to accommodate Chicago’s strict parking rules, and having to leave the tour twice to feed the meter/charge my phone :/. Thanks for all your help Colleen!!! A+++

Deep dish pizza, Chicago Dog, Brownie, Cheeseburger (Bill Goat Tavern), Fannie May Candy, Chicago Popcorn.Loved the Chicago Dog, plus we ate in the bar next door - so I could get a beer with it.Cheeseburger at Billy Goat Tavern was ehh (definitely add ketchup/mustard), but glad to go there for the history and uniqueness (also could get a beer there).Our guide Elizabeth was great. Learned about various Chicago neighborhoods as well.Fun few hours.

Ashley M

Elizabeth was our guide and she was very knowledgeable about the history of the food we ate and answered all the questions we had. It was a fun 3 hours with plenty of food to keep us full!

Paula M

Suzy was our tour guide and she did a fantastic job of not only taking us from location to location but giving us a history of the locations that we were eating at. The short walk in between locations was helpful so you were not too full to eat at the next location!
