Heard about the tour on 190 North show, thought we'd give it a try. It was SO much fun, informative, and, above all else, TASTY!!!
The guide was great, the neighborhood was fantastic and the variety and amount of food was insane...
Would HIGHLY recommend to all! |

The 4 of us were the only people from IL on the tour of 13. We are real foodies! Loved every bit of the food, walk and history of Chicago. Out guide Kent was awesome. |

Food choices were just okay. Walking tour was fun, looking at the different types of archictecture was interesting. Our guide was very good and fun. Would have enjoyed more and different sights. |

This was a wonderful way to spend a day with a friend. It would make a perfect gift - spending several hours walking, learning eating, etc. Food was fun - great diversity, extemely well thought out and planned. No "down" time. |

We really enjoyed Kent. It was clear he knew his neighborhood and his food. The tour came highly recommended by a friend who did it last month, and it was a hit with us. It got us to a part of town we would not otherwise have seen. |

Our guide was exceptional. Give him a raise. Learned a lot about the area and had great food. Especially liked the Mediterranean deli. |

A Taste of Chicago

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! |
