My wife, my daughter and I had a great time on the Wicker Park/Bucktown. Our hostess, Colleen, was very fun, entertaining and informative. The choice of shops to visit was very good and we enjoyed all 6 stops. We left having been educated about the history, entertained by Colleen, and full from all the food choices. Highly recommend this tour. |

This tour is perfect if you want to see a different part of Chicago. Plus you learn some history about the area. Also the food was great. The next time I'm in Chicago I will go on another food tour. |

The tour was great,the guide was great and very knowledgeable-even remembered all our names! There was too much food,by the time we got to the MiddleEastern store we were stuffed! Smaller portions would be good! |

The only thing I could suggest to make this tour better would be to put the hot chocolate towards the end of the tour.....not easy with the location. I loved all the food but would have preferred both sweets at the end. |

We had fun on our tour of Bucktown and Wicker Park. We ate a real Chicago hot dog, delicious hot chocolate with a real marshmellow, tasted "salad" at a deli, had a skinny pizza and beer, a half of a falafel sandwich and i cream! One change I would make: I would have preferred to have the Middle eastern food earlier in the tour. We walked around some pleasant neighboorhoods and enjoyed the parks and good weather. Our guide was welcoming and very knowledgable. I would recommend this tour to others, especially young people in their 20s and 30s. We were a group of two parents and 3 adult children. |

My wife and I live in the Chicago suburbs and decided to take Good Friday (company holiday) to be tourists in our own city. The Bucktown/Wicker Park Food Tour seemed like a good venue to explore...It met our expectations. I also wrote a critique and uploaded some photos to tripadvisor.com. Overall, our afternoon was great and our guide, Gina, was full of fun factoids about the area. The only thing we would critique is that the sequence of the food (hot chocolate after a Portillo's style hotdog?) and the pace (wolfed-down a falafal pita pocket) was a bit weird, and might be better ended over pizza and beer for camaraderie....but the nitrogen-infused ice cream store was also cool. |

We had a fantastic time on our tour! The food was incredible!!!! At each stop we were given a generous helping of food, and were definitely full by the end of the tour. Each stop was very unique. Our tour guide was phenomenal, and we were pleasantly surprised at how knowledgable she was of the area. As we walked from location to location we were given the history of the neighborhoods, homes, parks and businesses. We had a wonderful experience, and we have already been recommending this tour to our friends! We will definitely do another Planet Food Tour next time we are in Chicago! |
