Well Worth It!!

We had read about it a year ago and this was our 1st opportunity since we were in town for business. We had a great time - experienced a part of the city, learned history and local info and tasted some of the awesome cuisine that Chicago has to offer. In addition, walking everywhere helped build up some desire for continued tastings because we were really full after most stops. Kent and Christina were knowledgeable and delightful - give them a raise!!!! Their enthusiasm was palpable and infectious, thank you.

Kent was our most excellent leader. Our group had 11, from all parts of the country. Everyone was easy to tour with and fun to talk with. Kent was engaging, warm, and knowledgeable. The stops were tasty. The history was entertaining and interesting. This was our third tour. Every one has been great fun!

Learning about the specific neighborhood and trying multiple restaurants out was fun. We wouldn't have learned this much about Chicago or sampled as many foods had we not done the tour. It was just the right amount of time and quite tasty!

This tour was the first for my wife and I, and if they are all as good as this one, there will be many more to come. Great food and tons of information to go along with each stop along the way, restaurants and architecture alike.

Loved This Tour!

So I did the Near North Tour with this company two summers ago and loved it and I knew that whenever I made a return trip to Chicago that I wanted to do the Bucktown tour. This tour was even better that the first one! The tasting were really substantial and filling! Not to mention absolutely delicious! Loved a true Chicago style hot dog, but the biggest tasty surprise was the best falafel I have ever had in my life! As for my favourite though? Even though the icream was super cool and sweet the Hot Chocolate with the homemade marshmellow was to die for!!! I know I have to do their third tour the next time I visit however I will be returning on my own with my husband next time to revisit all of those sights. The tour guide was awesome, Kent, so knowledgeable, a local as well as fellow foodie, just loved his personality! Loved that I was not the only Canadian taking the tour as well on this particular day. If you are thinking about it, do it- worth every penny! Deanna from Leamington, Ontario

Awesome Experience

My boyfriend and I had the best time on our tour of Bucktown/Wicker Park. We are frequent visitors to Chicago, and we learned so many new things about the city from our AWESOME guide, Kent. The tastings, history on the area and architecture were all outstanding. We can't wait to try the other tours next time we head up north. If your'e on the fence about taking a tour, do it! You won't regret it :)

Great tour, guide, and food.

Loved the food selection. Kent, our tour guide, was great. He covered architecture, history, and of course the food. We would not have visited the area as first time tourists in Chicago. There were quite a few locals (chicago and vicinity) on the tour too. Not sure how much children would like it but would definitely recommend for adults.
