Read what some guests have had to say about Judith’s food tours:
“Judith is wonderful and one of a kind tour guide!”Via tripadvisor.com
My family asked for customized tour: mixture of architecture, Tiffany glass, Millennium park. No matter how much you try to choose the best tour during your precious vacation, it all depends on the tour guide 🙂 Oh, my! We got it all! Judith is not just very knowledgeable tour guide, but also very talented story-teller, who makes hours fly like minutes. Thanks to her work for city government she can tell stories you won’t hear from tour guides, who learn the history by book. During the tour we got some rain and she kept us entertained and fascinated regardless which building we used for our cover :)!
“Just wanted to say thanks for a really wonderful tour. It was fun,
informative and really renewed my interested in Asian cooking of all kinds.”
“This was so much more than a neighborhood tour; it was a true cultural and culinary immersion that delighted everyone who attended”
“I want to tell you how much I enjoyed and appreciated the tour. I think about the rich history of the area and I feel like I learned so much that day. We pass by areas thousands of times without really looking at them. The experience left me wanting to do more of these.“
“Our ‘mobile classroom’ to and from the neighborhood was simply fabulous. The street food, along with the stories shared, was inspiring.”
