| My son and I went on the Bucktown tour and then went back later in the week to 3 of the places. We would have gone back to more, but ran out of time. Our guide Kent really knew the area and we were filled with great food and great knowledge of a very cool area. Highly recommend this tour! |

Great! I would recommend to all.

| I normally consider myself a pretty frugal person, and I only bought tickets to this as a gift to someone. After experiencing the 3 hour tour, I am happy to say that it was money well spent! My entire group of friends enjoyed everything - the history, the culture, the food. Truly it was a great time, even though it was 100 degrees outside! I highly recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys food, Wicker Park & Bucktown! |

| I went on the Near North tour about a year ago and I enjoyed it so much that I decided to check out the Bucktown/Wicker park tour as well. The major difference in the two tours besides the location is the amount of food that you will get. All I can say is for this tour come hungry!!! I really enjoyed all of the places that we went and I know that I will be using my coupons very soon, especially at Hot Chocolate! Our tour guide was really great. Very enthusiastic with a real love for the area. I think anyone from Chicago as well as out-of-towners will really enjoy this tour. It gives you a change to experience a neighborhood of Chicago that you otherwise may skip over. And it's a nice change for the usual tourist spot of Michigan Ave. |

| My Inlaws were visiting from out-of-town and I was looking for something different to do. I found the Food Tour on Google and it completely surpassed my expectations! Our guide was awesome and made it so much fun, and the places we visited were all different and delicious. It was a really fun way to spend the afternoon and I got to know the area alot better. We will absolutley be going back to some of the places on the tour, as well as some neighborhood recommendations by our guide. I would absolutely recommend this activity if you enjoy food and are looking for somethign different and entertaining to do- Chicago local or out of town visitor! We are planning on doing the Old Town tour next time! |

Excellent tour for locals and tourists!

| I live in the neighborhood and although I have walked by all of the places that we stopped several times I had never been into four out of the six establishments. I definitely plan on returning to all of the places that we visited. I also learned a lot more about the history and architecture of the neighborhood. Ben was a great guide, he was informative and entertaining. I would recommend this tour to anyone that is interested in tasting some great food and learning about a very interesting neighborhood in Chicago. |

| We had a very leisurely and casual stroll around neighborhood streets with our guide Kent providing fun and interesting facts . The food was appetizing and filling, maybe even a little too filling. Be sure to eat breakfast early so you'll you'll have room. With that said, I must comment on the fact that at $44 pp, I think it's a bit high. Maybe cut that back $5? Still, a great tour and I got some nice pictures of some period houses along the way. |

FOOD & FUN! What more do you need!

| The food we had was wonderful, in fact, we went back 3 times during our vacation. Our guide was awesome. He was knowledgeable about all the places we visited and very enthusiastic about the tour. The thing I loved the most was walking through the town and learning about the history and architecture of the buildings. I would highly recomded this tour. P.S. Eat a small breakfast, you will get full! |

Fun day- lots of food

| This was the best experience of our trip to Chicago. We loved this tour! Kent was our guide and he was fantastic. He was so informative and knowledgable. Plus he made it fun! The places we visited were true Chicago places that you read about and never get to see. This section of Chicago is so packed with things to see and places to eat, that you could spend a great deal of time there and still not see it all.
I would HIGHLY recommend this tour to anyone who likes to eat and sample new things, and also to anyone who enjoys walking and seeing the different types of architecture.
I would definitely take another walking food tour on my next trip to Chicago..
These guys are great! |
