| I highly recommend this tour. The tour guide was great, teaching us about the area and the different food stops along the way. The food was great! It was very worth it..... |

| My husband and I were'nt sure what to expect because we had never been on a food tour before, but we were pleasantly surprised!! It was so much fun we want to do it again some time. There was alot of food not just a "tasting", we were really full at the end. It was informative and fun and the food was great!! I have already recommended it to some friends at work who are traveling to Chicago this summer.
Great tour!! Keep it up!! |

| I would definitely recommend this for locals and tourists alike. You get to try some great good from places you've probably never been and there's some local history and architecture built in. I will definitely be taking future groups of visitors on this trip, it was so fun! |

| We are legally blind from Michigan. We decided that this would be a fun tour for the two of us and it was! Our tour guide was enthusiastic, knowledgeable about the area and just plain fun. We learned the history of the area while eating our way through three plus hours. The tour description was accurate about there being plenty to eat . The restaurant and grocery/deli choices were varied. We met owners and learned how they started their businesses. We were taken on a walk through quiet streets where a brief lesson on architectural design was given. The houses were beautiful. We walked in Wicker Park.. We highly recommend this tour for adults. If you hesitate because it is a walking tour...don't...we did it without a problem. |

| Our guide, Shane, was great! Took us to have some great food and taught us some history/architectural info. about the neighborhood. He was very entertaining and friendly! I would definitely recommend this tour, and my friends that were local who took the tour are already planning on going on the other tour with their friends/family. |

You will not need anything else to eat

| Did this tour on the 2nd day in chicago, found the starting point easily after catching the CTA there, did have a wonder around the area before meeting the guide and its very nice.
Thought all the food was lovely and you get full size portions not just one mouth tasters.
The last stop the Ice cream shop was to die for
Well worth doing and you get to see a neighbourhood you would not normally visit. |

Such fun! And plenty of food!

| I've been on both of the Chicago Food Tours now and I loved them both! I'd say that we definitely got more "food food" on the Bucktown/Wicker Park tour, but both were fabulous!
The guides are great and very knowledgeable. Besides the great food, the history you hear about and the architecture you get to see on the tours just adds to the experience.
I took a local with me and she vowed to take her husband on it, she loved it so much!
Two thumbs up! :) |

| My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. We were kind of nervous when we showed up. We were the first ones there, but the guide (Kent) was there and made us feel comfortable immediately. The eateries we visited were great. From downhome to some of Chicago's (and the country's) finest eateries. The food at each was wonderful—and plentiful.
Additionally, the history and cultural stories that guide gave were also excellent.
I must also say that the guide was excellent in how he led our group, entertained us and kept us safe when crossing streets.
When we return to Chicago we'll be taking the Near North Tour and probably eat at one of the places we visited.
If you're interested in food, history, culture, architecture and want to do something in Chicago out of the Mich Ave area, do this. |

| We enjoyed each of the selections of the restaurants and thought that the tour was well organized. The info provided in the handout was excellent also.
We did think it was distasteful for the tour guide to remind us at the beginning of the tour that gratuities are accepted at the end of the tour. When we booked our tickets we were told that gratuities were accepted at the end at our discretion. We have taken many tours and never before has the tour guide reminded tour participants about his tip...very tacky...otherwise a good tour |

| We had a fabulous time on this tour and would recommend it to anyone. What could be better than eating your way through a new area? The venues were great, I loved all of them except for the grocery store. |
