I can't say enough good things about this tour! Our tour guide Kari was fantastic! The food we tried was AMAZING and we loved learning about the history & culture of the neighborhoods. I highly recommend this tour! We plan to be back and go on the other tour. This was a great way for us to start our Chicago trip! |

My daughter and I went on this tour to get more familiar with my son's new neighborhood but we were totally entertained, informed and "stuffed" by the time the tour was finished! It was more than we expected...come hungry! |

We had the best time, and enjoyed the food tremedously. Colleen, our tour guide, was a lot of fun and gave a lot of great information about Wicker Park/Bucktown. The description says that you will not need lunch afterwards, and that is so true! Theses are large servings, and everybit was delicious. The benefit of a walking tour is that you burn some of it off, and it gives you time to make room for the next stop. I will definitely try the other tours the next time I'm in Chicago. |

We booked this tour because of the variety of food and the neighborhoods of the tour and we weren't disappointed. Our tour guide was fantastic-offering history of the neighborhoods and the places we ate as well as other restaurants in the area. I would suggest that the tour distribute the food stops better. We were stuffed by the 3rd restaurant and would've liked to have had more time in between before eating again! |

This food tour was awesome- I never expected to get such a cultural tour as well- we really got to appreciate that amazing architecture of these Chicago neighbourhoods and we even went back to one of the restaurants later in the day AND another one the next day because we enjoyed them so much!
Be warned: The food is VERY filling. I expected all the servings to be "sample sizes"- DEFINITELY not! Some were smaller but others were FULL size (e.g. a full size "chicago style" hot dog and full size falafel). Definitely need to pace yourself!
Our guide Carrie was amazing and super knowledgeable- I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone! |

Kerry, our food tour guide is the greatest! She is intelligent and articulate. The Bucktown/Wicker Park Food & Architectural Tour was the best tour. I highly recommend it to all! Our mini vacation took place in downtown Chicago, so taking the CTA to the Bucktown neighborhood was the way to go. I can only say great things about "all" eateries we visited. It was hard to choose at the end of our tour which one we liked the best. Establishments such as Hot Chocolate and I Cream were our favorites. George's Hot Dogs is a favorite, too. Having a great tour guide can make all the difference. We were very fortunate. Until next time...the Mantells from Tucson, AZ |

My 15 year old daughter picked this tour and she did a great job! Our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and really helped make us feel part of the tour. The food overall was a real treat and we loved hearing about the history behind each restaurant. Our only drawback was that we weren't able to go back to some of the restaurants we sampled, as we were leaving the next day or we definitely would have went back to a few. |

This tour gave us an opportunity to see a part of the city that most tourists probably don't experience. It was a good break from the crowded Magnificent Mile. The food was amazing, and we chose to spend another day in the same area so we could try other varieties of food from these AMAZING restaurants. The guide was very knowledgeable and we learned so many interesting facts about the neighborhood. |

If you enjoy food, walking and a little local history, the Bucktown - Wicker Park tour was a great afternoon. Nicole was wonderful, informative, and enthusiastic. More food/drink than I had imagined. Returned to 2 places already! |
