Our tour was guided by Sofie and she did an amazing job!
It was a really fun mix of tasty treats, local history and architectural tib-bits. We even had the owner of one of the beautiful, historical houses come out during the tour and talk about his home. What fun neighborhoods!
Sultan's falafel was absolutely amazing and iCream made for the perfect ending to the tour. I would definitely go on the tour again and will look into the other tours offered! |

This was a fun way to learn about a different part of Chicago. Colleen was terrific -- funny, engaging, and knowledgeable. Come hungry - the food selections were varied and portions plentiful, from a Chicago Dog to iced hot chocolate (wow) and falafel. The walking tour gave us a nice glimpse of life in Bucktown and Wicker Park. |

This tour was great. Lisa did a great job at describing the history of the area, and the food all tasted great. They also do a good job at spreading the food out so you can enjoy it all. I highly recommend this tour. |

We went on the Bucktown tour with Kent and really had a great time. The rain was a bother for the first two stops but after that we were dry. Good thing he had some rain ponchos! The food was delicious and I loved the iced chocolate drink. There was plenty of food and the leisure stroll through the park and neighborhoods was enjoyable. We brought our son along and he had a good time, too! This is a fun area to explore with plenty of good shopping and eats! |

I booked the tour as a birthday party adventure for a my 14 year old daughter. Everybody said it was the best party ever. We visit the city all the time but most of the kids we brought had never been to the area before. They LOVED it and all the history and amazing food. Thank you so much for making my daughter's birthday so memorable. Please give a special thank you to Kent. |

I was very pleased with our Bucktown/Wicker Park Food Tour. The tour guide, Lisa, was very informative not only about the local eateries but also about the history and architecture of the neighborhood. I highly recommend this tour! |

I am really at a loss for words as to how to best explain this great experience. You walk a lot (but not to exhaustion), You eat a lot (but not to discomfort). You learn a lot (but not overwhelming). The food is all delicious, Kent was a kind, humorous, and informative. You will regret not doing this. I look forward to going to Chicago next summer and trying another tour. I have told so many people about this, I could be a spokesperson for this tour. |

Having previously been a Chicago local I'm baffled that it took me this long to take the tour! What a spectacular way to learn about Chicago. The food was spectacular, the history was interesting and I can't wait to visit home again and try the other tours they have to offer. Fantastic way to spend a few hours w friends and family! |
