Our tour guy Kent was very knowledgeable and seemed to love his job. It is a must do for anyone who is wants to see more than just the "Bean" while they are in Chicago. The combination of food, local history and architecture is a great way to spend an afternoon. The places we went to were delicious and I'm planning to go back to all of them!! |

We read about the tour online and decided to give it a try. Turned out be be great fun and a wonderful way for a visitor to the city to get to know areas of town away from the typical tourist destinations. Kent was a wonderful. energetic, and entertaining guide. He really seemed to enjoy the tour himself and seemed happy to share his neighborhood with those of us on the tour. He made a point of visiting with all the people on the tour. I enjoyed the variety of the restaurants that we visited. I would be happy to try another tour on upcoming visits to Chicago and will certainly recommend to friends. |

We had previously done the Near Northside Tour and liked it so much we decided to try the Wicker Park/Bucktown Tour. Our guide, Coleen, was pleasant, friendly, and had good knowledge of the area. We were both pleased with the sampling of award winning eateries combined with an historical tour of the area. I was surprised to see so many beautifully restored Victorian homes. For us this was a good way to get acquainted with a part of Chicago we probably would not have come to on our own. I heartily recommend the tour to anyone who wants to see the unique character of a Chicago neighborhood. |

We loved it because the tour was well designed and the guide was terrific. In fact, we returned to Wicker Park that evening for supper! Great job.
One note: You should advise your clients to skip breakfast so as to get there with an empty stomach. There was lots of food. |

We've been to Chicago several times and wanted to learn more about the areas beyond downtown. We also enjoy good food. This tour had a nice mix of history of the area and food. It was more than enough food for lunch. I will say that as experienced eaters the food provided wasn't anything unusual to us. But it all tasted good which is what really matters. The guide obviously knew the area quite well. Highly recommend this tour. |

My husband and I really enjoyed the Wicker Park/Bucktown food tour. It not only provided us with a background on the food, but also the neighborhoods that we were touring. I would highly recommend to those who like a little history with their lunch. We plan on going back to those neighborhoods and enjoying other spots recommended by our food tour guide. |

Food portions are very small. The tour is somehow interesting and the show you many places you might come back to, but in general you dont get that great of a deal for the money you pay. |

This was a great experience . Our guide Gina was fabulous! It was a good way to try new places and learn about different neighborhoods outside of downtown. The food choices were great. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone traveling to Chicago and looking for something fun and different to do. |
