This is a phenomenal tour and a really good way to see a Chicago neighborhood that you might not otherwise visit. Ben is the best guide you could want to learn about the food you eat, the restaurants you visit, the architecture along the way and the neighborhoods you walk through. I highly recommend this - except for little kids. I think 3 hours worth might get boring for them. Our group was a mix of mid 20's through late 60's and everyone seemed to be having a good time from start to finish. What did I learn?Do NOT ask for ketchup on a Chicago hot dog. (and homemade marshmallows are unbelievably delicious)

Live in the city and still found the experience extremely interesting and entertaining. I think anyone who likes to try different types of food and learning about Bucktown and Wicker Park would really enjoy this tour. Tour guide was very entertaining and a wealth of knowledge.

The best part was the wealth of information given by the guide, Jessica, who was well informed. I didn't think the food was anything special, though.

Awesome Experience

My Husband and I had an Awesome experience. It came recommendd to us from a friend who had recently participated and everything she said was true. The young lady who served as our tour guide was so informative. She knew everything there was to know about the areas, restaurants and even off beat questions that arose from attendees. She was very personable and genuine. The food was Awesome as well; so much so, that after the tour ended, we went back to Georges' for another meal. Every place we went offered more in its experience than just the food. Although my Husband is a native Chicagoan, he said if he'd never taken the tour he wouldn't even know that some of these places existed. It opened his eyes to so much even though he says he's probably driven or walked passed these establishments a hundred times. The walk itself was not overwhelming. It was as if we were strolling through our own neighborhood site seeing. After being exposed to so much history and culture I can consider myself a mini historian educated enough to tell others.

The whole activity was done wonderfully. The food stops were very interesting and varied. The walk was the right length. The tour guide was nice, informative and fun. The price was reasonable. I have been recommending it to people right and left since I went. I am very interested in trying some of your other tours based on this one.

We enjoyed the mix or history/architecture as well as the food. The restaurant choices were great and our guide, Kent, was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic and fun. We all bought our tickets separately but 11 of us were friends looking for more insight to our great city and this did the trick. Wonderful!

Highly suggest to bring or buy a beverage for the tour. Would have kille dfor the french fries wiwth the Dog. Way to chocolatey at chocolate, a waste for them. Pizza was good a abundant, Mediterranean was a bit rushed and too much food after where we had been. Always room for I Cream! that was great. Very informative, enthusiastic tour guide.

come hungry!! Loved the variety of food and beverage. Got me aquainted with the Buckhead/Wicker park area. Had lots of fun...even on a cold, windy day.
