The Chinatown tour was amazing! Our guide, York, was very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information about the neighborhood. My husband and I are locals to Chicagoland, but haven’t been to Chinatown before the tour. We learned about all the local landmarks and got some amazing tips on where to eat on our next visit.

Hello Taylor, I am delighted to hear that you had such a wonderful time out on this tour! I am pleased to know that your guide, York was so knowledgeable about the area and could share it with you. It is not everyday you get to learn an experience a few new things about the city you already know and love! It never hurts to be able to add a few more food places to your list. I hope we can get you out on another incredible food tour in the future, and appreciate your review. Best, Brooke
