Not What I Expected

In my opinion this tour was not worth the $45 price. I expected much more quality food and more food stops. The tasting consisted of hot chocolate, pizza, hot dogs, veggies, ice cream and falafel. The cultural tour was a show case of several homes in the area. I was disappointed and felt shorted.

We went on the Bucktown/Wicker park food tour and myself my husband and three kids age 22,19, and 16 all loved it. Nicole was a great guide. The variety, quantities and spacing of the food was perfect. Everyone had their favorite. I particularly enjoyed the history and architectural information that was presented along the way. The next time we are in Chicago we will definately do another Food Planet Tour.

My neighbor had highly recommended this tour and we were not disappointed. We had never explored these Chicago neighborhoods so enjoyed both viewing the architecture of the homes and eating at each of the restaurants. Each eating place was so unique, the food good and plenty even for a hungry man! Our guide was friendly, vivacious and knowledgeable and had become friends with the restaurant managers as well as some of the homeowners on our trip. We give this activity high marks!

Beyond our expectations

We thoroughly enjoyed the Bucktown/Wicker Park food and cultural tour and enthusiastically recommend it. We had friends visiting from Lake Tahoe and we made reservations for this tour well in advance of their arrival. We had been anticipating this event for two months, and it not only met but exceeded our expectations. The restaurants and shops we visited provided a wonderful variety of tastings, and our guide (Carrie) was enthusiastic, well informed and extremely friendly. We liked the size of the group, which was very manageable, and it was fun meeting people from different parts of the country. We had a terrific time and will have wonderful memories.

Our guide, Colleen, was full of energy and informative. An absolute great way to see and eat our way through the city. We will definitely schedule the other tours during upcoming visits.

A very enjoyable tour! Well rounded with information about the food, as well as the local community and neighborhood. Could use a bit of time to shop for some of the food products during. Tour guide, Colleen, was excellent, with just the right amount of knowledge, humor and pace.

Best vacation outing!

We were worried that a food tour would leave us too full to eat for the rest of the day but eating lunch over a 3 our period was perfect. The food was outstanding. The company was fun. The tour guide, Colleen, was energetic, friendly and knowledgeable. The neighborhood tour was interesting and it was nice to be in an area that was not on the list of "Places to see in Chicago." We would highly recommend a food tour. It is a great way to get to a lot of local restaurants and get out of the city a little.
