| The tour is such fun and very entertaining as well as informative. Kent, the tour guide had me wishing I was a Chicago native so I could return to these great restaurants where we had been, and also to the extra places that were pointed out along the way. I've got great suggestions for all my friends traveling there as well as my daughter and all of her buds from Northwestern.
I had taken the original Chicago food tour in May and was thrilled with it, so much that I was going to do it again and take my husband so he could experience it. The Wicker Park tour is fairly new but definitely highlights the best of what the neighborhood is all about. I'd highly recommend it.
It poured rain for over half of our tour and we still had a blast!! |

| This was an excellent tour of one of the coolest neighborhoods in Chicago. I loved the variety of establishments we visited and the quality of the food. It was a very enjoyable tour. |

| The Bucktown/Wicker Park food tour left something to be desired. The food aspect was okay but the cultural information provided was superficial and lacking detail. We were hoping to find out more Chicago history and perhaps some unusual stories that a tour guide's more personal perspective might provide. Another gentleman in our group had been on the original tour and said it was preferable to this one. |

| Our tour guide, Emily, was great! You can tell she loves her neighborhood and is very familiar with with it. The food was wonderful and all the interesting information on the history and architecture of Bucktown/Wicker Park was very cool. We will definitely try other tours from this company. Thanks! |

| The tour provided not only ample food samples to satisfy our taste buds but also gave a good overview of the neighborhood - its history and where its at in the present. Emily, the tour guide, was well versed and accommodating and the tour paced itself nicely. As first time tourists to Chicago, it was a different but wonderful experience from the usual tour of the major attractions.. |

| I came to Chicago for the first time and I couldn't be more pleased with this tour. It was the perfect amount of culture and food all wrapped up into a great tour! My tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area and its surrounding neighborhood and was super passionate about food, which I loved! It was great to have a down to earth perspective about the city. Thanks! |

| My brother came to visit from California and I wanted to entertain him with good food and walking exposure to Chicago. This walking tour was perfect!
I decided to sign up for the "new" tour that covers the Bucktown/Wicker Park neighborhoods primarily because I wanted to explore these areas by foot instead of by car.
Our tour guide (forget his name, sorry bro!) was energetic, knowledgeable, and entertaining. |
