Our group was small, which was great, nice and intimate. I find food tours a fun way to get to know the city and local culture. I have taken a couple of food tours in NYC and one in Istanbul. The Near North food tour goes around the Gold Coast and Old Town neighborhoods. It was nice to get away... More

We took the Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Tour this past weekend with Heather. This was a wonderful experience. All of the food stops were excellent and Heather was a terrific guide. We loved all the food on the tour and the neighborhoods were beautiful. I would recommend this tour to everyone visiting Chicago.

This tour was so much fun. Heather, our guide, was delightfully entertaining, personable, and informative. The food was delicious and varied.

He could... More
