Chicago Foodway Tours/Saigon to Stockholm Food Tour/

Had a great day discovering the city neighborhoods. I would recommend this tour Saigon to Stockholm Food Tour to anyone who wants to eat great food, wonder around beautiful neighborhoods, learn history about theses neighborhoods and just have an adventure.

Saigon to Stockholm

Phyllis was the perfect host to guide us through the food, history and culture of Uptown. I’ve been a resident of the neighborhood for 30 years and I still learned new things and tasted foods that I had never tried before. Excellent way to spend an afternoon whether you’re a tourist or a Chicagoan.

Little Italy food tour

We had a great time doing the little Italy food tour with Phyllis. Plan to eat a lot and learn a lotof historical facts along the way. We enjoyed aperitifs, pasta, lemon chicken, subs and dessert. The food was fabulous and the company was great!!

Loved it.

Myself and two friends wanted to see and taste something different. Phylis was very informative, I loved all the little secrets and local knowledge. Really nice tour, lovely food and very authentic surroundings. We will definitely book up the Italian food tour next.
