- The tour was fantastic & fun, even with the bit of rain we had. Chinatown was BUSTLING, but Greg was very considerate of our time and plans that were made for after the tour- we didn't have to wait long at any of the restaurants. The quality and quantity of food was incredible! Dinner was not necessary for that night, of course, we still did, but you're in Chicago- you have to eat!

Chinatown Food and Walking tour interesting and fun - We have taken several tours with Bobby's over the years and have always had great experiences. The guides at Bobby's have always been excellent. We had another great tour in Chinatown on the walking / food tour. Our guide, Greg , was very knowledgeable of the local Chinese community and was a lot of fun to be with. It is always interesting to meet the other tourists too - they come from everywhere...We went to 5 locations and sampled the food - All was very good - the portions were right sized. The day we went was very busy - lots of people in the neighborhood - and we had to deal with some intermittent rain storms - but Greg did a good job of keeping us out of the heavy rain. There really wasn't that much walking - maybe 5 or 6 blocks. The Red line station is very near Chinatown - about a 10-15 minute ride from the center of downtown (Loop). We also stayed around after the tour and looked through a couple of local shops - a nearby grocery store was quite interesting. The area and restaurants are not fancy or commercialized - has very genuine feel of a long-standing Chinese community.

Tour Guide Never Showed Up - The tour guide did not turn up. Leaving the group in an awkward situation at the first restaurant. We did get a refund but the whole situation was unfortunate.
