My friends and I from Florida love to eat. We were excited to take a food tour that included typical Chicago style foods. What we received was so much more. We got a very personal introduction to the Wicker Park and Bucktown areas. We learned interesting historical and cultural information that made us appreciate all that we viewed. The shops and restaurants were all so unique. We would have never been so lucky able to pick out all of the destinations that were included. Our Guide, Cari, was fabulous. She was very enegetic and passionate about her town. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend it anyone, tourist or local!! Stephanie from Tampa

I had so much fun on our tour. Our guide was great! I live in the area and go to the neighborhood all the time, yet I still learned so much. The selection was perfect, and the walk was nice. Great job.

I'm not much of a tour kinda guy, but I really enjoyed this one. Getting to know the history of the area and enjoying really unique foods plus a great tour guide made this a really enjoyable event for me. Perfectly structured, timed and organized, plenty of food and lots of interesting people and places.

Looked for something different to do for my mom's bday. After searching online, ran across this tour and we loved it! Food was great and a nice way to explore the neighborhood. Only recommendation would be to bring along your choice of beverage. With all the tasting, no liquids are really provided throughout. Had a good time and plan on looking up another food tour next time we head out of town!

A memorable experience with a wonderful variety of food tastings. We also very much enjoyed the walk through the residential areas.The only downside to this experience was our tour was on a Saturday and many of the establishments were very crowded. Tour guide Ben did an excellent job.

Kent, our guide, did a great job. Very personable. We're from Ohio and when we return to visit our daughter who works in Chicago, we'll definitely revisit Bucktown and Wicker Park.

Great tour, even though it rained all day. I would have liked 1-2 more food stops, though the history/architecture was good.

A fun foodie activity

A really fun tour. we were a group of cowrokers from the midwest in Chicago for work. This activity fit the bill for providing an activity that was a different and yet appealed to everyone. Who doesnt love food right? Kent was a fantastic guide who knows his stuff and obviously cares about the food he eats. The food you try is fantastic. The sampling is genereous, you wont leave hungry. I also loved the tour of the neightborhood made me want to visit again. Overall highly reccommended.
