Excellent tour - My wife and I very much enjoyed the tour with our tour guide Jeff. A wonderful variety of Chinese delicacies, and lots of interesting history regarding the area. Not huge amounts of walking, which was good because it was a cold and dreary day, and by the end of it, we were stuffed. Highly recommended.

Fun in Chinatown - This food tour pleasantly surprised me! It was different from what I expected, but absolutely worth it. We got to try dishes I wouldn’t have anticipated, with bold flavors and more spice than I imagined. It was a unique and eye-opening experience, and I learned something new along the way. Our guide, Jay, was fantastic—knowledgeable and engaging—and the small group size made the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

Must try! Chinatown Chicago Food Tour - This tour perfect combination of food and culture. I especially love the social aspect of being in a small group of people outdoors, with just enough walking and sitting. If you love food then we highly recommend. Our guide, Lilian is a delightful host, dedicated to making this a safe, fun, and special experience for you. This is a must-do for both visitors and residents of Chicago. Sign up and enjoy!

Great for teens! - Traveling with a foodie teen and they really enjoyed this experience! Delicious food and engaging stories from JEFF our terrific host. A joyful surprise was how at each restaurant we shuffled our seats so we were able to chat with the other people in our tour. Both myself AND my teen really loved the social opportunity! Thanks JEFF!
