What are people saying about Chicago

Carol_G, Jul 2026

Great experience, hits all the highlights

This was a very enjoyable tour, our guide Elizabeth was a local history teacher (previous journalist for Chicago Tribune) so she was well versed in relevant Chicago history. The tour was well paced, not difficult to keep up but not too slow either. The stories shared about Chicago were interested and just enough to be informed but not boring. The portions of food were very generous, a full slice of deep dish pizza, a full Chicago dog with all the toppings, a 1/2 beef sandwich, a small helping of Garrets popcorn and finished with a brownie from the Palmer House. The brownie experience was a little disappointing, I had hoped to be seated and served a plated brownie with the ice cream but instead it was a take-out brownie individually packaged. I would definitely recommend this tour and if we were with others who are interested in the tour we would not hesitate to go again.

Great first day in Chicago

Great taste of Chicago! We did this tour on our first day. Perfect way to get the ‘lay of the land’ and decide what we wanted to get back to during our stay. Elliott did a great job providing a smooth experience with interesting facts about the City. Highlight for us. Highly recommend.

Chicago in a Day Walking Tour: Food, History & Architecture

Melinda_S, Jun 2026

Great architecture and delicious eats!

What a fun day of exploring the architecture and food of Chicago. We visited several historical buildings and learned more about the history from our tour guide Chad. It was a hot one but we ducked in and out of the AC and tried Chicago dogs, beef dips and deep dish pizza. It was just my husband and I on the tour so we were able to spend more time at places of interest like the Chicago Symphony performing at Millennium Park, an unexpected suprise! Highly recommended tour.

Chicago's Delicious Downtown Donut Tour with 8 Amazing Tastings

Christina_H, May 2026

Best Tour of my trip

Nick is an amazing tour guide. You can tell he loves his job and the donuts. Everything was great I would say maybe add less Churro or old fashioned type donuts. I think a bit more of the stuff you can’t find at Dunkin would put it over the top.. Again just my opinion. ;) But Nick deserves a raise he really had good humor and very great stories and advice about the city.

Chicago's West Side Foodie Ride Bike Tour

Jason_B, Sep 2025

This was a great way to...

This was a great way to see the city, have some tasty bites, and get a little light cardio in for the day. I’ve been to Chicago many times and hardly ever leave the loop so it was great to see the neighborhoods. Wyatt was a great tour guide and had fun facts plus music trivia, as well as the info about the food we were eating. For a four hour guided tour, bike rental, and what amounted to a full four course lunch, this was reasonably priced.

River North Food Walking Tour

Kim_V, Sep 2025

More than just food, great stories & info

Along with the food, you get stories and info about the food, and great general info about Chicago. More than enough food to be a long lunch. Lots of walking but plenty to see and stories enjoy along the way so it goes by easily. End of tour is different location than starting point (20 min walk away), so plan accordingly when considering parking or your next activity. We had a great time.

AJ was an amazing tour guide. Good instructions before the ride for safety and tips. Almost too much food to eat!! We had a great time seeing different areas of the shoreline part of the city. Our youngest was 12 and our oldest was 57, and we all were able to comfortably complete the tour.
