Chicago food tour

Excellent tour. Dash really knew his history of Chicago and made it very interesting as we walked the City. The food stops were delicious with just the right amount of time at each venue. Found places we wouldn’t have gone without this tour. Dash also gave advise on roof top bar to visit after tour which was fantastic. Definitely worth doing while visiting Chicago

Beyond just food—Ask for Dash!

Dash was incredible! He exceeded every expectation we had for this tour. His knowledge of the city, architecture, food, culture, and history absolutely blew us away. I have never experienced a tour guide who was so thoroughly prepared and so incredibly well versed in so many subjects beyond the scope of the tour itself. Dash brought the city to life with stories, insight, and a depth of knowledge that made the experience truly unforgettable. You could tell how much he loves the city and how passionate he is about sharing it with others. If you get the chance to take this tour, do it. And absolutely ask for Dash. You will not be disappointed!
