Educational, entertaining, and lots of walking, but really fun.

Published on Jan, 2025

We learned so much about the rich history of Chicago, the people who started the restaurants, the history of Chicago’s iconic foods: pizza, hot dogs, Italian beef sandwiches, this fires that destroyed Chicago and how the Chicago people rebuilt it time and time again. If you like good food, entertaining/educational presentations, this is definitely your kind of day trip! As I said our guide was Jeff who is a gifted storyteller with an endless vault of Chicago history. Ask for Jeff when you book your food adventure. He is an A+ guide.

Delicious essentials of the city!

Published on Jan, 2025

If you're here in the city during the winter (especially if it's your first time), this is a great way to stay your trip! See all the biggest sights and taste the signature tastes. Is your starting longer than the day, this is great way to get your bearings off the city before deciding where and what you want to do

FBA created deep dish pizza

Today I found out it was a FBA woman named Alice Mae Redmond who created the deep dish pizza in Chicago! She gets no recognition for it in Chicago but that’s nothing new. Enjoy!

I had an amazing time on this tour! Jamal was my tour guide. He was so nice and had great information about the restaurants and the city. I tried a lot of food I wouldn't have gotten on my own, and was able to see a lot of the city in only 3 hours. My only suggestion would be for the tour to arrange our apple cider in a souvenir mug!
