I was most excited about this tour after reading about it online. We really wanted to try everything the city had to offer, but had no idea where to begin. This was a great tour that gave us a bit of everything. Our tour guide was great, she knew everything about the places we visited and was happy to give... More

What a fantastic tour with a guide to match! Mimi was a walking Chicago encyclopedia. Her delivery was full of wonderful stories and historical facts all told with a great sense of humor. Then, of course, there was the food....all delicious and the portions...WOW. Definitely no need for dinner that day. Thanks, Mimi. More

Chicago is famous for food and doing this tour is the best way to pack all the famous foods into a small amount of time. You will learn about "real" deep dish pizza, visit famous spots and discover hidden gems. Be sure to pace yourself because you will be Thanksgiving Day full by the end of it! More

Learned a lot about the city, culture, and most definitley enjoyed the food! Can't wait to try their new orleans... More

My husband & I went to Chicago April 6-8, 2012. I had seen online reviews for the Tastebud Tours and thought it sounded fun! Well, I am glad I bought the tickets. We had a wonderful time sampling several different foods at different restaurants where we would probably never have gone on our own. We also met some very nice... More

I did the Savor Chicago tour on Saturday and it was a great time! We ended up having a super small tour with the owner, Lynn, as our tour guide (he said he doesn't get to guide much but he was awesome and very knowledgeable). What I liked about this tour in particular was that it included everything from Al's... More

I was a little hesitant paying for food samples, but I had plenty for lunch and enjoyed every bite! The different locations where places I wouldn't have gone myself, but would definitely return. Highly recommend it, either solo or with friends! More
