| My parents and I had a wonderful time on this tour!!! I live in the Chicago area, and had been to most of these places, but it was still fun to try new things and also learn about the area that I live in!
Our guide- Ben was wonderful! He was so personable and made the tour even more fun!
I would highly reccommend this tour for both locals and for people visiting Chicago. You learn a lot and are able to try so many wonderful restaurants!
Our favorite was Hot Chocolate and icream. my least favorite was Greek Goddess and the Grocer- the past salad was average. |

| Kent, our tour guide was wonderful. He knew so much about the area and was able to answer most of our questions and he was just fun. The food on this tour was great and I will be returning to some of the places on a return visit. |

Great way to spend an afternoon.

| My first trip to Chicago, can't wait to go back. I was glad I found BWP Food Tasting Tour. What a great time I had touring and eating. The guide was very informative about the area. The food was entirely too much, but I seem to totally enjoy all of it especially the pizza and icream. The experience was low keyed and very relaxing, walking around the neighborhood, with a small group of people checking out the Bucktown community. Great place to visit. |

The food was great, the walk...a bit boring...

| The food was great. No complaints. And it was plenty. The walking around the neighborhood was fine, until we stopped to see a bunch of housed that in my opinion, did not need as much explanation. That part dragged a little bit. But otherwise, great experience. |

| This was a great tour of the Wicker Park/Bucktown area. It was very informative and Kent Seaver was very personable, interesting, and knowledgeable of the area and the places we visited. The food was terrific and definitely enough to not only keep you going during the tour but enough to fill you for the day. It was just the right combination of walking and sitting so as not to exhaust anyone. I have already recommended it to friends who I know visit Chicago occasionally. We are from Florida but my daughter lives in Chicago and I have told her about it as well. Great tour and great tour guide! |

| Eat, learn and walk off the calories--all at the same time! We loved the combination of history, architecture and great foods to eat. A "must do" for locals and visitors alike. |

| As busy professionals, my fiance' and I often don't get out that much to enjoy the rich diversity of Chicago. This food tour, suggested and booked by friends visiting from outside Chicago, was really a wonderful opportunity to learn about one such diverse neighborhood. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, seemed quite concerned and interested in those whom he was guiding, and provided a nice pace for the day. All the featured restaurants were eye-opening, unique, and quite memorable; I would certainly revisit them all. I especially liked the attached list of "highlighted restaurants," not covered by the actual tour, but recommended in the future. This historical sites were all very interesting. All in all, a great experience that I would recommend to any of my friends and family. |

| Ok, so Kent was our tour guide and he was just awesome. Very enthusiastic and fun. The food... well, it was incredible. I'm not talking about little samples that at the end of the tour you have to go out and find something to satisfy your still lingering hunger but considerable portions - sometimes even FULL portions. No joke. I loved it. About midway we just kind of toured the neighborhood. The information on the area was appreciated. I actually liked this area better than downtown Chicago. Food recommendations for nearby establishments was a plus and coupons for the shops that we were visiting on the tour really beckoned for us to come back later in our trip... and we did. I had to pack one of the tastings to go because I was so full. The food is SO good and some of it was very unique.
Don't hesitate to take this tour. I'm already planning on taking the North tour. Book early -- fills up fast! |

| Our tour leader was Jess. She was very knowledgable and friendly. Had plenty of enthusiasm and was able to remember most of the people in the group. Had lots of food and learned about the Bucktown/Wicker Park area. Planning to return there this weekend for the art festival. Hopefully will be able to go on the North food tour this Sunday. Beautiful weather, fun group, good food - I would recommend this tour to anyone!! Loved it. |
