| The Bucktown Tour and our guide, Ben, was very nice. Our first stop was George's Hot Dogs and it was a fantastic Chicago Style Dog with all of the trimmings. The other stops were very good also . Caution....DO NOT take this tour if you have a problem with walking. This is a 3 hour walking tour. Great historical neighborhood walk among local shops and eateries on a gorgeous 75 degree day that begins with hot dogs and ends with custom made ice cream. What more could you ask for.
Love n Peace

| My husband and I recently took our fourteen year old daughter and seventeen year old son to Chicago for four days. The food tour was a favourite highlight for us all. The neighbourhood walk and food tastings were awesome and enjoyed by all. Ben our tour guide was great. He made the whole experience very fun and educational. We returned to the neighbourhood, rewalked part of the tour and enjoyed brunch at Bongos, a place reccommended by Ben. It was an awesome experience. We would definately do a food tour again! |

| Our tour of the Bucktown/Wicker Park areas was pretty cool. I think it was well priced and very enjoyable. Our tour guide, Ben did a great job explaining the history and the areas that we visited. The resturaunts chosen on the tour were nice, clean, and yummy! Thank u Ben and thank u Zerve! I would recommend this tour to someone else and I would do it again myself! |

| My husband and I took this tour when we found ourselves back in Chicago. Our family had taken the Near North tour back in June and really loved it. The Bucktown/Wicker Park tour did not disappoint!!! Our tour guide Kent was awesome!! He was very knowledgeable, interesting, and fun. This is not a section of Chicago that we would have ventured into on our own (because there are no "headline" attractions). Kent was full of stories, information, and tidbits that we never would have found in any tour book! It is very obvious that he loves this city and loves to show it to people. The stops along the way were very varied and interesting. Never have we seen or tasted ice cream made with liquid nitrogen---with so MANY different combinations of flavors as well. Our favorite stop was at Hot Chocolate for the frozen hot chocolate---to die for!! We even returned a few nights later for pizza and beer at the local pizzeria and brewpub. Part of the fun was just watching all of the people gathered at such a popular local hangout. I would recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys food and wants to hear all about Chicago from a local who loves his city!!! |

| A great chance to experience a part of Chicago you would probably never find on your own.
Kent was a great guide, who talked enthusiastically about his home!
There was plenty of food but it so well planned out, you eat at the right times so just when you're feeling full, you walk for an hour and take in some beautiful and interesting sights and work your appetite back up!!!
Everyone who goes to Chicago should do this!!! |

| A very good way to be introduced to this part of Chicago. History, architecture, food : a very pleasant mixture with a very nice guide. Gastronomy in Chicago? Oh, yes. |
