What are people saying about Chicago

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.

Delicious Donuts & City Sights: Chicago's Original Donut Tour

kberteaux, May 2026

No notes

Super great introduction to several amazing downtown bakeries. My favorite was the Tahitian vanilla donut at Firecakes, followed by the red velvet at Dan's. There were PLENTY of donuts and I left happy and fully sugared out. This covers a lot of over a mile of walking, FYI. And it ended exactly on time which I always appreciate.

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!

Maggie_F, May 2026

Glad we did this one!

Rich was excellent. He is knowledgeable and funny. I’ve done many tours and this is the first where a guide made a point to learn everyone’s name and where they are from. Then he went above and beyond pointing out things from our home state along the tour. Highly recommend! I’ll note that first we did architectural tour. So don’t come hungry. I mean no wait a little while longer.

A taste of Chicago

This is a wonderful tour. If you haven’t had the opportunity to get a taste of Chicago this is a great way to get the introduction. You won’t be sorry. There is a fair amount of walking so wear comfortable walking shoes. It’s worth it. Lance our tour guide was very friendly, helpful, and informative!

It was my birthday on Valentine’s Day and he and the rest of our tour mates wished me happy birthday! Highly recommend if your in town, this tour gave us history about the city and the diverse food that makes Chicago the place to be!

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.
