Bucktown/Wicker Park Food Tasting & Cultural Tour

This tour was well organised and Gina our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the area and the food we tasted. There was certainly plenty of food, towards the end I couldn't finish all the tastings as much as I was enjoying the food.

Our guide was wonderful. She was personable, knowledgeable, and clear. Content had great balance of history, food, architecture, walking, standing, sitting. I definitely will go on another tour of yours.

We came from the SF Bay Area and loved the food and architecture. Here's a caveat: we invited the friend we were staying with who is an enthusiastic Chicagoan. We hadn't realized he was a Chicago snob as well. For every place we went (all of which we enjoyed) he had a better idea and occasionally expressed it disdainfully. I would suggest leaving people like that at home.

We did similar tours in New York, so we were prepared ;-). We loved this one, because of the nice combination of the locations we visited (many tastings, lunch afterwards can be skipped) and the explanation of the architecture in the neighbourhood. Thanks to our host, who made these three hours unforgettable!

I would definitely recommend this tour! Very well done. The guide, Lisa, was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Had a great time getting to know some new people and tasting some classic and new Chicago.

Our guide was v. informed on the history of homes, neighborhoods, stores we visited. She was whitty and alot of fun. Could converse well w/all ages. We, my 42 yr.old son & myself, did not enjoy eating a hot dog to start out with! All other foods were placed according to the afternoon's tour. Also, we such that at least water be given along with the tastings...we had to ask twice on the tour for water.

If you want something fun to do on a Saturday or Sunday, you have to sign up and experience one of the Chicago Food Tours. Gina, our tour guide was very knowledgable and was very enthusiastic throughout the entire tour! The food was amazing and we would definitely recommend this tour to our friends and family! I can't wait to try another tour soon!

This tour was wonderful. Not only did you get to try lots of yummy food, nice size servings, too but also learned about the culture of Bucktown/Wicker Park. The 3 hr walking tour was interesting, funny, and chock full of information on the architecture, history, and people of these two towns. Highly recommend taking this tour and if we are ever back in Chicago we plan to go on the North food tour or Chinatown tour. Both of these tours had been done by members of our tour group and came highly recommended too.

Pleasant walk at a nice pace with tasy food. There was a vegetarian option which was nice for two members of oue trio. It was a nice surprise to discover the charcter and history throughout these neighborhoods.The houses were beatuiful and interesting. The food was satisfying...at the end of te tour we wondered why we didnt know about this area sooner...instead of the high end hudtle and bustle of Mich. Ave. We all left this tour satisfied and full of food and culture. Thanks food planet!

I attended the Wicker Park/Bucktown tour with my wife, 3 daughters (ages 22, 18 and 14), mother and sister and we all thoroughly enjoyed the tour. You get a nice variety of food and plenty of it, but also just the right amount of the history of the neighborhood. We could really tell that Kent, our tour guide, really loved the neighborhood. I did the Near North tour a couple years ago, and now can't wait to do the chinatown tour. I highly recommend this!
