Bucktown/Wicker Park Food Tasting & Cultural Tour

This tour was lots of fun and was more than just food. Our tour guide was energetic and very knowledgeable, and the food was great. Two thumbs up!

We had a great time on the tour! Kent was super and very knowledgeable. We would highly recommend this tour to others visiting Chicago. We liked the restaurants so well that we went back to two of them. Wonderful Tour!

My boyfriend and I went to Chicago for the first time and loved this part of our trip! The tour guide was wonderful, the food was great, and we even ended up goin back to Wicker Park/Bucktown for lunch on our last day. Highly recommend this tour!

the bathrooms at the George's hotdog place was so revolting I almost didn't take the tour. clearly they DO NOT clean the bathroom EVER the pizza was a COMPLETE disappointment- tasteless and not Chicago style if on a Chicago food tour and you can not provide Chicago style pizza, you should eliminate pizza from the offering the tour was well run, the tour guide was knowledgeable and interesting the food was all good (expect pizza) the tour stops were all good (expect the cleanliness of Georges) the tour was the right length and interesting

I really enjoyed this tour. My favorite part was the area of town. Bucktown/Wicker Park was really neat and my friends and I went back a couple times to that part of town to explore some more and eat more of the food we tasted on the tour. The samples included a Chicago hot dog, fresh vegetable medley, ice cream, iced hot chocolate with a homemade marshmallow (my favorite!), pizza and beer and a falafel (which I have never had but really enjoyed). The food was all wonderful and you get plenty to eat. We were all full by the last stop and some people even got theirs to go. I recommend doing the tour around lunch so it serves as your meal. Kent was our tour guide and he did a great job. I highly recommend this. It is even great for people from Chicago because it takes you to an area that you may not have explored with food you may not have tried.

I surprised my husband with this tour on our anniversary weekend. He absolutely loved it! The food was delicious and our tour guide Jade was very informative and witty. She did a good job of keeping the tour lively. By the 2nd stop he no longer minded being the only male on the tour! I would definitely recommend this tour. Our favorite was George's Hot Dogs and Hot Chocolate! YUM!

I'm new to Chicago, and had a friend in town. I had been wanting to explore Bucktown/Wicker Park for awhile, but hadn't quite gotten around to it yet. The food tour served as a great way to get introduced to a neighborhood. You know when you go to a great area packed with restaurants, you don't quite know where to begin, and Yelp isn't always as reliable as you'd like? This is the perfect way to get acquainted with an area, and dip your toes in to the well of great food and great neighborhoods of Chicago. First off, Sophie, our tour guide, was really great. She was a lot of fun, gracefully managed the music festival that impeded our hearing and taxed her voice, and was very knowledgeable about the restaurants, culture, and overall "scene." Second, when they say "tasting" they really mean a good portion everywhere you go. It's a good thing its over 3 hours, cause you need the walking to work up an appetite for the next stop. Plus, I loved that you're learning more than just the restaurants; you also learn about the history of the neighborhoods, the architecture of the homes, and get to understand the vibe of the place.

I LOVED the Bucktown/Wicker Park food tour. Our tour guide (Sophie) was funny and articulate and gave a great balance of food, history, and architecture. I have been recommending this tour to everyone in Chicago! Worth the money, and the food was delicious. The drink from Hot Chocolate was to die for. The falafel from Sultan's was the best I've ever had. 10 out of 10. Thanks Chicago Food Planet!

Our tour was guided by Sofie and she did an amazing job! It was a really fun mix of tasty treats, local history and architectural tib-bits. We even had the owner of one of the beautiful, historical houses come out during the tour and talk about his home. What fun neighborhoods! Sultan's falafel was absolutely amazing and iCream made for the perfect ending to the tour. I would definitely go on the tour again and will look into the other tours offered!

This was a fun way to learn about a different part of Chicago. Colleen was terrific -- funny, engaging, and knowledgeable. Come hungry - the food selections were varied and portions plentiful, from a Chicago Dog to iced hot chocolate (wow) and falafel. The walking tour gave us a nice glimpse of life in Bucktown and Wicker Park.
