My husband and I recently went on the Bucktown/Wicker Park Food Tour while we were visiting Chicago. It was so much fun and the highlight of our trip! Jess was our guide, along with Nicole, and they were both wonderful...upbeat and full of knowledge about the history of the area, the food, even the local architecture! We learned so many interesting things, ate SO MUCH delicious food, and even got to try some new things (like homemade marshmallows from Hot Chocolate and the amazing falafel at Sutan's Market!). I cannot recommend this tour enough- I have been telling all my friends that it's a must-do in Chicago. We will definitely be taking the other tour on our next visit. Anyone interested in good food or learning more about the trendy Bucktown/Wicker Park neighborhood should definitely sign up! But whatever you do, don't eat a big breakfast before you go!! |

We were visiting friends who live in Chicago -- and for the 4 of us, we could not think of a better way to spend the afternoon.
Not only was each stop better than the last, but there was so much food! Our guide (Kent) was friendly and animated - and he obviously enjoys sharing the history of the neighborhoods (Bucktown/Wicker Park) on the tour.
Not only do I recommend this tour, I hope that we can go back and do it again! |

We had a great time. All the food was delicious and bigger portions that we expected. Living in the city and learning new things about our beautiful city was just icing on the cake. I would highly recommend this tour and I am looking forward to trying the other one. |

This tour was so much fun, my boyfriend found it online and bought tickets for one of our days in the city. Our tour guide was Kent and you could tell he really knows his city; the food was fabulous and the extra walk to enjoy the architecture and scenery was a nice break--might want to bring a doggy bag though, you definitely won't still be hungry afterwards. We ended up canceling our dinner reservations for later that night! |

We had such a good time on the tour that we will be looking for food tours wherever we go. We were fed plenty of food; I was actually full before the 5th stop. My favorite stop was Hot Chocolate...OMG! We have all vowed to return to Chicago just to go back there. Kent was an excellent guide, full of information and personality. I went on the Greenwich Village, NY tour in Dec. and had great time there too but the amount of food on the Bucktown/Wicker Park Chicago tour was far greater. |

A tour trying to bring awarenness to an up coming neighborhood, but was not that nice. Food tasting was good, but guide didn't speak that clearly. We left early and went back to the downtown area. |
