Elizabeth was a great tour guide, she gave us time to explore and gave us so much information on the history of Chicago, the places we visited and made sure everyone was comfortable and even offered us seconds. The places we visited were uniquely Chicago. It was a comfortable walk and we were stuffed when we waddled off to the hotel!
A Chicago visitor's "must visit trip"

This was a perfect tour! Agi had a perfect blend of knowledge, history, and personality. The food was outstanding and we had all we could eat and then some. The pizza was our favorite part until we stopped in the Chicago Cultural center, we could not recommend this any higher, a go to trip! Thank you Agi!
Great tour!

Great Guide, Mediocre Food

Elizabeth was an excellent guide, very personable and knowledgeable about the area and its foods. However, we think the food itself was only average. The Brownie was not enjoyable and the Chicago Hot Dog was nothing special from a bar in the basement of a Macy's. However, Elizabeth took us to the Chicago Cultural Center to see the Tiffany Dome and to the Pedway and showed us many other interesting sites. It was an interesting tour, thanks to Elizabeth, but not the food.
Loved the tour!

Good food and history

This food tour was very good. The walking part was just right, no to long with time to rest in between locations. You got to enjoy some traditional Chicago food with a history lesson along the way. Our guide Agi was excellent. She made sure the group stayed together and everyone could hear her as she explained the history behind the chosen spots as well as other interesting facts about the city I would definitely recommend this tour as part of someones visit to the area.
don't miss this tour!

don't miss this tour! Elizabeth gave a great tour, a mixture of the city history and the history of the food and restaurants themselves. When they say "Come hungry" they are not kidding! There is so much food on this tour it's amazing. Don't miss this tour and hopefully, get Elizabeth as your guide Great personality made it so fun and interesting!
3.5 stars for varied food/walking tour
Rachael_W
, Apr 2019
We were a small group so the tour was about 2 hours as we spent less time at each food stop - a bigger group would be closer to the 3 hour mark. Varied food offerings - deep pan pizza (crunchy not doughy which was a relief), brownies, German sausage & egg noodle, Italian beef, chocolate & popcorn. All the food was good but the medic of savoury then sweet then savoury again was a bit odd & we brought our chocolate home rather than eat it between 2 savoury offerings. Elizabeth our guide was fun & engaging, and clearly knew the city and its food history. The tour included some historic sights and she took us into buildings we probably wouldn’t have seen without her, so that was a great bonus. Overall a good tour but perhaps more thought needed on the order of stops?
Fun!
