Loved the option to have a beer tasting from the local brewery and our tour guide was awesome. The food was delicious and the pizza from Lou Malnati’s pizzeria was the best deep dish we’ve ever had.
-
This tour was wonderful and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Our tour guide, Julia, did an excellent job of telling us about Chicago’s history and taking us to the most popular spots in Chicago. One of my favorite things about the tour was being able to walk into restaurants and not have to wait to be seated or for our food and drinks. It was a very busy day in Chicago so this made it easy to see a lot more than doing it on your own.

A fun and informative way to experience Chicago’s famous non-foodie foods with a jovial and quick witted guide. Josie entertained us and expedited our feasting at several local establishments on a very busy December Saturday. As others may have already mentioned… do not eat much, if anything prior to this tour. We were served nearly full portions at each of the stops. Josie reeled off fun Chicago facts and kept us entertained as we made our way from one food stop to the next. Her upbeat vibe made the tour a hit for us.

This is a must do tour whilst in Chicago! Josie our guide was so knowledgeable and made the tour fun for everyone. The food stops were amazing and Josie was able to answer all our questions without any hesitation. This walking tour gives you a great insight to what Chicago offers. If you do just one tour do this one and upgrade to include the beers - you won’t regret it. Oh and also don’t eat too much before this walking tour as food portions are good sizes
