My boyfriend and I both live in Chicago and were looking for fun, different things to do in the city. We did the 11:30 Near North Tour with Jennifer as a guide. We had an absolute blast walking from Gold Coast to Old Town to Lincoln Square, learning much about the history of the city and the differences in the neighborhoods, all the while deliciously eating our way through.
Favorite parts of the tour were mixing flavored olive oil and vinegars at Old Town Oil, learning about tea at Tea Gschwendner and having Jennifer as a guide. She was fun, energetic and knowledegable (and has a GREAT laugh). The group size was intimate filled with friendly, personable folks.
As an aside, Shane (who from my understanding is the owner of this touring company) was above and beyond accommodating and kind to us when we discovered that our original pre-paid vouchers for the tour had expired. He was very gracious and wiling to work with us, which I incredibly appreciate.
Great time all around, and definitely one of the most unique, best "non-touristy" things to do in the city!
