| It was a beautiful Fall Saturday afternoon when a friend and I went on this tour. Our guide, ( I think his name was Brad), did an excellent job describing the history of the neighborhoods and telling us interesting facts about the restaurants. This is something you really do not want to miss! It would be nice if the restaurants changed every year so that you could experience other hidden places in these neighborhoods. I also went on the Lincoln Park tour and found it to be just as wonderful. |

| In addition to the food tour, we also got a little bit of a "neighborhood tour" of Wicker park which was a bonus. It was nice to learn the history of the area to appreciate the foods from the area more. |

| I signed my boyfriend and I up for this tour as part of his birthday present. Upon signing up, I didn't realize that we would be given as much information on the history of the neigborhoods, and wondered how we would fill up three hours. I was very pleasantly surprised at how informative the tour was, since I had not spent much time in the Wicker Park/Bucktown area prior to doing the tour.
The food was also amazing! I was very full at the end of the tour, which was also more than I expected, since the description suggested we would only be getting a 'tasting', which made me think it was a small sample. But the food was great, and it made me want to go back for more! I especially appreciated teh variety of food that was provided.
Finally, our tour guide was excellent. He was very enthusiastic and able to answer any questions our group had.
I have been recommending this tour to everyone I've told about it. Hopefully I will get a chance to do the near north tour someday. |

| This was our first food tasting tour and we loved it! I thought it was a well developed tour. The tour guide had a comfortable demeanor, yet he did well at managing the group. Most importantly, he was full of interesting information. I loved the unique places we ate and the history of the establishments told to us. The architecture and neighborhood information was a great mix with the tastings. I recommend the tour. |

| Excellent tour which incorporated food tastings with an informative tour of an interesting neighbourhood of Chicago you might not otherwise see. The food was good and the tour guide enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend the tour but don't have a big breakfast!! |

| I would recommend this to everyone who is interested in trying some different foods and seeing and learning about the restaurants and also the neighborhoods. I was very enlightened with the variety of food samplings and you definitely get your money's worth when it comes to the samples!! |

| 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. |

| 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. |
