This tour was absolutely delicious and fun! The tour guide was full of great information about Chicago and cupcakes in the city. I was not only stuffed by the the end of the tour but already wanting to go again! If you like sweets or cupcakes, this tour is a must do!

Encourage cupcake locations to provide different types of cupcakes.

Very disorganized. There was very little information about cupcakes, really just walking around and eating... Would have been nice to see something made besides toasting some marshmallow frosting for half of a second. This was disappointing.

It's a good tour if you are a tourist and not familiar with Chicago. Since I live here, it wasn't that exciting to eat Frango mints. It would have been more interesting if we could have seen chocolate being made at a factory. Wasn't that educational

It was supposed to be a cupcake tour, we only went to one place that sold only cupcakes and one did come to us. The other places were bakeries, but one did not even have cupcakes. The tour guide was to salesman like. She kept pushing the tips.

Half of our tour was in one location so I thought that wasn't very good. Plus at the end of the tour, we didn't go back to our starting point so my group was a little lost and. Of sure of where we were exactly. They should have brought us back to the starting point or very close to it so we could find our way a little better
