Fantastic guide! James was funny and knowledgeable and passionate about pizza…all huge green flags. He took us to places we hadn’t tried before. My boyfriend was very happy about this gift. My son lives locally and he was happy to find some new places to share with friends. 10/10 Definitely do this!!

Make sure you come on the tour with an empty stomach. James was an amazing tour guide. Always telling jokes & history about the city. If you are a new tracer in the city. James will let you know where to go.

Guide was excellent, and extremely knowledgeable. Pizza was delicious and plentiful. Will be doing again! Group size was small, which was good. Took about 2 - 3 hours.

Wonderful history of Chicago and Pizza! Really enjoyed the explanations and the pizza! Tried some things I may have never tried before and enjoyed it! 4 locations over 2.5 hours and you will not leave hungry! We were so full! Pace yourself!
