Bucktown/Wicker Park Food Tasting & Cultural Tour

This walking tour gave my wife and I a real taste of a Chicago neighbourhood. We found Wicker Park and Bucktown to be interesting and an example of what urban renewal is all about. It was interesting to see how the area has developed and been restored into an artistic community. It has real character to it. We had more tastings than the Gold Coast tour. Our tour guide, Kent was friendly, knowledgable and kept the tour moving. Our favourite tastings were Hot Chocolate and I-Cream and we look forward to revisiting both of them on our next trip to Chicago.

I realy enjoyed all of the stops on the tour, especailly the hot dog. While visiting Chicago we tried three "chicago style" dogs and the one from George's was by far the best. The homemade marshmallow and nutella ice cream were pretty great too. I loved getting directed around wicker park, and wish we'd planned for more time in that area. Our tour guide, Ben, was informative and enthusiastic (maybe a little over the top...fake?) but had good info to share. Overall, would suggest this as a fun day, but not a must-do unless you live for food.

My friends and I absolutely LOVED the food tour - the food, locations, and architectural tour was surprisingly interesting! Our tour guide was fantastic, patient, and energetic. There was definitely thought put in with regards to the timing of what and when you ate and the whole ensemble was very enjoyable!

The food was delicious....and unique to Chicago. But the tour of the neighborhood was also exceptional. Our guide was so informative. Great tour!

Tasty and informative, definately recommend it for travellers. The Buck Town/Wicker Park area is also very interesting to have a wander around.

This is the 2nd time I've been on this tour this year. My out-of-town sister was visiting and wanted to go on this tour as she has been on the north side tour twice, but not this one. We took along our 84 year mother. We all loved it! The beautiful fall day made for perfect walking weather, and it wasn't too much for our mother either. The food was GREAT!

It was quite enjoyable. Could do without Piece Pizza since it isn't a Chicago-style pizza. Liked all the walking through the neighborhoods. Great guide.

This was so incredible! I've lived in Illinois all my life and have been to Chicago a million times, but never like this. Our guide was awesome, food was fantastic and just had an overall great time! Definitely worth the price, I don't think I ate dinner that night!

What impressed me most about this tour was how well it engaged both locals and tourists as well as foodies and casual eaters. Easily the best time and money I spent in Chicago.

We have an exchange student from Indonesia and wanted to do something outside of the normal tourist activities. This was a perfect fit for what we wanted to do - all of us learned something new, enjoyed some great food and experienced a new part of Chicago.
