Loved every second of it. Jackie did a great job. we had previously had deep dish pizza at another restaurant and did not like it but the restaurant that served the deep dish on this tour was amazing. I will not say the restaurant so I don't spoil it for you. She was also very informative of historic aspects of the city and was overall pleasant to be around.

Thought I was going on a food tour. Slice of pizza, hot dog and brownie wasn’t what I expected. I should have done more research ahead of time.

Hi there, I am so sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your tour experience with us. About a week ago we, unfortunately, found out too late from one of our vendors that they were closed one of the days we offered this particular tour. And that unfortunately led to less food stops on that particular day. It sounds like you were a participant on that tour, based on the lack of food you received. While we thought we reached out to everyone, we must have missed you. Please reach out to us in a private message and we'll be happy to discount your tour for that day or offer you a gift certificate so you can experience our entire tour package. On the Chicago Favorites Food & Walking Tour, we offer samples of Chicago style pizza, a Chicago Hot Dog, Italian beef, a bag of Chicago mix popcorn, and chocolates/pastries from Eataly. Plus we offer an upgraded VIP beer package to boot. It's an amazing tour experience and normally people complain of too much food. So we'd like to make this right. Please reach out to us. Thanks, Bobby's Management

We visited Giordano's, a hot dog stand, Palmer Hotel, and Exchequer. Justin was a great guide, very knowledgeable about Chicago's history and wove the food in beautifully.
