I've had the good fortune to travel to Chicago in the past and have had some of the city's well-known cuisine, but when considering what to do, I thought why not take a food tour and sample the best and whatever I could have missed. I wasn't let down. Clint took us for a stroll during which we had the opportunity to sample some delectable food, learn some history, and see some items we might not have known were there.

Over the Thanksgiving holiday, my daughter (12) and I went on a walking food tour with Clinton. The time between Chicago goodies was very effectively passed by Clinton's extensive knowledge of Chicago architecture. Each of the stops was enjoyable, and we had a great time

Did a tour of Chicago with Clinton. He was a fantastic, experienced tour guide who showed us several significant buildings and delicious food! I loved learning about the history of the first skyscraper and I still dream about my Chicago dog. 10/10, and I really enjoyed my first trip to Chicago because of him!

This was my favorite experience during our recent trip to Chicago. Alexander was a great tour guide who provided us with a lot of useful information. The menu options were thoughtfully chosen, delectable, and did a great job of capturing Chicago. Once more, many thanks to Alexander for being such a talented tour guide. Without a doubt, I'd tell my family and friends about this trip!

This walking food tour is fantastic. Every place we went offered delicious foods for us to sample. The cuisine was top-notch throughout. Since I live in the City, I'm going back to some of the places. Great excursion for both residents and tourists. It might be an effective team-building exercise for a workplace setting.

Outstanding tour with a very experienced guide. With our small group, Clinton was very understanding, and interesting. Food was amazing, popcorn stop ok, but pizza, beef sandwich, and Chicago dog this is a terrific way to start seeing downtown Chicago.
