Bucktown/Wicker Park Food Tasting & Cultural Tour

This was an absolutely delicious, delightful and interesting afternoon tour. The guide was very knowledgeable of the food establishments visited and sites described on walking portion. Definitely come hungry but at the end you won't be looking for more food. There were 4 people in our group on the tour from a 27 year old (local) to a 62 year old. Everyone really enjoyed it and thought it to be very entertaining and worthwhile. There were 7 other people with our tour and they all commented that they enjoyed themselves too. It was nice that the size of the tour is limited in number because of some establishments but it allowed us to get to know and talk to other members in our tour, who were also from out-of-state locations.

I have now taken different out of town guests to both the Wicker Park/Bucktown and Near North food walking tours. Both are awesome - great tour guides, great food, a lot of history and great neighborhoods. I will say that there is a quite a bit more "substantial" eats on the Wicker Park tour so prepare yourself to be full! Great tours for locals and tourists alike. Can't recommend highly enough.

My mom, my sister & I went to Chicago this past weekend. I purchased tickets beforehand from Zerve (super, super easy) & we enjoyed the tour this past Saturday with our group's guide, Jess. She was completely welcoming, knowledgeable & sweet. We had very tasty eats (my opinion is that only 1 tasting was so-so) and generally had a great time. I really feel that I got to experience Chicago due to the fact that we learned a lot about the culture & architecture of the neighborhood homes alongside tasting the food. It is a very long tour, so be sure to wear comfortable clothes and dress in layers, as you're advised to do. It's a great time!

My niece, who lives in the Chicago area, and I, who do not, went together on your other tour last year and enjoyed it so much that we wanted to repeat the experience. Our guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable (it was nice that he lives in the area and was able to offer personal insight). We are very pleased that you will soon be adding a third tour.

We had a wonderful time! Our tour guide was exceptional and extremely knowledgeable. The food was awesome and the architecture sites were simply beautiful. In fact, we've already gone back and tried some of the other restaurants that were recommended during the tour. We have also visited I-Cream several times since the tour. I highly recommend their flavor called, "That Guy From Florida." Overall this was a FANTASTIC TOUR!

Walking/Eating your way through one of Chicago's hippest neighborhoods on a beautiful fall day.....learning the history of the neighborhoods, the restaurants, and the food.....an absolute must for anyone....tourists and locals alike. This is an awesome idea for any big city! Our tour guide, Kent, was extremely knowledgeable, clever, and kept the day moving at a great pace. Be ready to gain a pound or two but the calories are worth it. My wife and I will do the Gold Coast food tour next time we visit Chicago. Bravo and Thank you!!! Blake Owen Naples, FL

We selected the Bucktown Taste Tour as part of an annual company outing. These outings can be hit or miss based on the different likes and dislikes of the participants. We had 9 members attend and I recieved high remarks by all members of the group. Kudo's to the organizers on making this a great event for my team.

Kent was great. A lot of fun and info. Enjoyed by Grandma, Mom, and 20 something grandsons. Only problem- mom and grandma were stuffed. Boys of course ate again soon after getting home!

My husband and I really enjoyed this tour! There was lots of food and great informational items from the tour guide. I would recommend this tour to anyone that loves to eat food and learn more about the Chicago neighborhood.

Our very personable and enthusiastic tour guide led us on an eating feast! The stops on the tour were diverse and very delicious! We would definitely return to several of the restaurants/markets on our next Chicago visit. The walk through the Wicker Park neighborhood with the architectural highlights was most interesting. This, as well as the Old Town Chicago Food Tour, are very pleasant and filling ways to spend an afternoon getting better acquainted with Chicago!
