Chicago Tour

This was a fantastic boat trip. We got to go through the lock to start with and at the end we had a high speed ride along the lake. Superb. Our guide, David, was very informative and fun and we got to see the wonderful buildings of Chicago up close. Would highly recommend this company. They made sure we were safe and looked after.

A wonderful evening

Our experience was nothing short of extraordinary! Abby proved to be an exceptional host, radiating warmth and professionalism. She was thoroughly prepared upon our arrival and spent the evening skillfully guiding us through the cooking process while sharing stories from her culinary and restaurant journey.

The event was both entertaining and educational, packed with fun moments and valuable takeaways. Abby elevated our understanding of food and hospitality, offering countless insights into cooking techniques and the art of entertaining.

I couldn’t recommend this experience more highly! It was the perfect birthday gift for my husband, a true food and entertaining enthusiast. He was absolutely thrilled, making it an unforgettable evening with friends. Simply perfect!
