| Kent did a wonderful job - tour was well conducted with lots of information.
Our favourite tastings were the Hot Dog and Chocolate Milk.
We have told many people about the tour. |

| The Bucktown/Wicker Park tour is a great time. The food is fabulous, and I was absolutely stuffed by the end of the tour! Our tour guide was great--a very friendly guy with a great sense of humor. If you're looking for something fun and memorable to do while in Chicago, this is it. |

| 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. |

| We have done both Chicago Food Planet Tours and Bucktown/Wicker Park Tour takes a slight edge with bigger and better tastings. We were so full after hot dogs, iced hot chocolate (YUM!) deli salad, pizza and ice cream that we didn't need to eat dinner. We went back to Hot Chocolate two nights later for dessert. Both tours are fabulous, fun and informative and the time flies. Our guide was fun and because the group size is relatively small, its easy to visit with other tour participants. This is a five-star Chicago attraction! |

| We have taken both tours and they are equally great. Love the shops and restaurants but also the walking tour of neighborhood with history and architecture details. |

| I did a Zerve food tour in NYC earlier in the summer and loved it. When I booked my trip for Chicago, I immediately searched to see if they offered food tours in this city as well. I went on the Bucktown/Wicker Park tour with extremely high expectations. Not only did this tour fullfill my expectations, but it also exceeded them.
I loved all 6 of the food tastings, especially iCream. I also really enjoyed how it wasn't all back-to-back, but also included the walking tour of the area with information about the transformation, local opinions and the historic houses. It's a great way to pace yourself with all of the food and walk off some of those empty calories (since when you are on vacation, calories don't exist).
My boyfriend and I went on the tour with our friend who lives in Chicago. He was skeptical since he knows the area well, but he enjoyed it just as much as we did.
I would recommend for any tourist or local to do the Bucktown/Wicker Park tour. And if you have Carrie as your guide, she is excellent! |

| Do not eat before the food tour. Each stop had wonderful and filling food and drink. The guide was knowledgeable and made the tour a lot of fun. Enjoyable activity for families with older children. |

| We had a great time on this tour. Kent was our tour guide and I couldn't imagine anybody doing a better job. He was funny, intelligent, witty and kept the entire tour entertained for the complete 3 hours. The stops along the way were all unique and very tasty. We went into the tour with an empty stomach and left both very full. We had a great time and would definately reccommend this to anyone going to Chicago. Also the tour included a lot of information about the history of the city and the food along the way was great. A great day of weather certainly did not hurt! |
