Great way to learn about this Chicago neighborhood

What a wonderful way to stroll the streets of this great Chicago neighborhood. The tour is very well organized and you won't be disappointed with the food samplings... they range from authentic Chicago to so unique they're hard to imagine. We have a part time place in River North and know that area but are not very familiar with Bucktown and Wicker Park. This was perfect for us. We returned the same evening for a excellent dinner at Cafe Absinthe and bar hopping afterwards. We'll take the other tour in the near future.

A great way to get out and see Chicago neighborhoods. Plenty of fabulous food and interesting architecture. A tour guide who was eager to please and full of information. I can truly say this was worth the money. Thank you for showing us another view of Chicago. We would never have seen many of these places on our own.

I absolutely loved the Bucktown/Wicker Park tour!

Jess, our tour guide was wonderful. She made the tour fun, and was extremely informative. The food was delicious and plentiful. I was expecting small sample sizes, but was surprised at the amount of food we were given. I could hardly finish eating towards the end of the tour. I especially enjoyed learning the history of the two communities, Bucktown and Wicker Park. The architecture was amazing, and Jess was incredibly informative. The only change I would recommend is allowing more time - maybe four hours vs. three. Otherwise, I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Chicago area. I know I would take it again!

Wonderful way to spend three hours in Chicago!!

I would highly recommend this tour to anyone going to Chicago for a few days. Our tour guide was very knowledgable and we had a lot of fun. The food was all good and we would have never tried these places had we not known about them. We went back and visited three of them later in our stay and were very pleased with the food again. The three hours went by very quickly! You will NOT need to eat anything before hand.

Bucktown and Wicker Park

Very enjoyable. Great food tastings (almost too much food in the short space of time!). Leader Kent was very knowledgeable about the area. It was a good opportunity to see a part of Chicago I would otherwise have not explored in the short time I was there.

Recently did the Bucktown food tour with a group of three women. Each one of us enjoyed it throughly. I thought the food portions were very plentiful, interesting and varied. The historical part of the tour was interesting and timed perfectly. I'd highly recommend the tour.

The food was excellent and varied. The Tour guide was knowledgable and personable. I felt there was too much description of restaurants that we did not eat at. This time should have been used for more decription and history of the area. I would attend another tour by this group.

We Had A Great Time

Kent was an excellent tour guide. Unfortunately, we had to bug out early, as we needed to pick up my daughter earlier than expected. I'm sure we will be back again next year and hope to take this tour again. Thanks for the great time.

a good tour

We had a really nice time. Our leader went out of his way to make sure everything went well for us in sitting in a restaurant, getting our food. he took us to some great places for food. I got a little bored with the architecure lesson but we couldn't go right from pizza and beer on to the next food. We did need to move around a little bit to get ready to eat again. We did learn alot about chicago history and architecture. The food choices were a lot of fun.
