Bucktown & Wicker Park Food Tour

Great tour, plenty of food, Matt was friendly, knowledgeable and fun. Great stops, who knew kale salad could be so good??? Would definitely do the other tours based on how good this one was- nice job all around!

Lisa was our tour guide. She was extremely enthuisiastic and very knowledgeable of the area. Highly recommend it to everyone.

My husband and our two teenage children went on the tour and had a blast. The food was great! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Chicago!

We had a wonderful tour with Carrie. She was funny, informative, full of little tidbits and helpful info for strangers to the area. The food was delicious, the bit of architecture and homes on the tour was amazing and we kept right on schedule. There were frequent bathroom breaks, and just enough walking and sitting to have a comfortable 3 hour experience. The accommodation for allergies of everyone in the group was amazing and we met some really nice people too!

Loved getting to know the area along with sampling the many local restaurants in the area.

What could be better? We enjoyed trying food that we might not have ordered and enjoyed all of it. Our guide was enthusiastic and all of the stops provided alternatives for our lactose intolerant group member. Well worth 3 hours of your day, particularly when you want to experience a different neighborhood in Chicago.

The food was very good and Kent our guide did a nice job as we walked telling us about architecture, etc.

I really enjoyed the historical information about the development of the two neighborhoods over time. The food was excellent, and we stopped at a number of places I hadn't been to yet. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, but I found that some of the commentary around gentrification and neighborhood safety hinted at the racial, socio-economic and ethnic shifts without really exploring the consequences of the gentrification: ie... where did all the "unsafe" people go to and what kind of diversity exists now that the area is entirely upper/upper-middle class and dominantly white.

Even though our group got rained on some, I enjoyed my time with Ken and the group. For different reasons I enjoyed each of the six spots we stopped to sample at. I was staying in a B and B in Wicker Park and had been out and about exploring the architecture of the area. There are many fantastic homes to be seen and Ken helped me to know a little bit more about a few of them. I especially enjoyed the stop at ICream and went back another day and had a burnt sugar, coconut and Nutella flavored ice cream. Loved it.

I booked this tour because I was going to be in Chicago and I am a foodie who enjoys walking and looking at different architecture of buildings. Kent, our guide, made this tour so much fun, yet educational. The food was excellent and the portions were more than expected! I would definitely recommend this tour to locals or out-of-towners like myself!
