What are people saying about Chicago

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 in a Day Walking Tour: Food, History & Architecture

Margie_U, May 2026

Excellent tour!

Very good tour, plenty of walking and plenty of food. But most importantly, excellent communication from our tour guide, Dash, about what it’s like to live in Chicago now as well as considerable history of the buildings everywhere we went. Entertaining and informative, highly recommend this tour.

Chicago Bike & Classic Food Tour: Bikes, Bites & Views - Adults

Darcy_S, May 2026

Great food, great guide, great biking

This was an awesome tour. Matt was our guide and it was his first solo tour and he did a great job. Go hungry! This is not “tastes” of food, it is a full on meal by the end of the day. The biking was easy, you are on some city streets, Matt had everything under control and we felt safe the whole time. I would highly recommend this tour.

Chicago's Chinatown Food and Walking Tour

Lars_L, May 2026

Not too much walking, delicious food!

We met Lillian on a warm, rainy day at the Phoenix restaurant to begin our Chinatown food tour. Our group included our family of three plus four fun-loving friends enjoying their retired years together. Along the way we experienced dim sum, beef soup, Szechuan popcorn chicken, spiced cabbage, Szechuan peppercorns, lamb sandwiches, and egg custard for dessert. The walks between locations were short and easy, and we also got to enjoy some beautiful architecture and learn about Chinese-American history in the area. Overall, we definitely felt like we got our money’s worth. It was a fun, memorable experience, and I would highly recommend it!

Chicago's West Side Foodie Ride Bike Tour

Jason_B, Sept 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.

Kim_V, Sept 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.

Family Bike Ride

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.
