Kent was a fabulous tour guide. I learned a lot about the area. The food was awesome. We tried places that otherwise I probably would not have. Great activity, would highly recommend.

This is the second tour that my wife and I have taken from this company and we loved it as much as the first one. The tour guide was knowledgeable and made the tour a lot of fun. We ate a lot! You definitely should come to this tour hungry! Highly recommend it.

We enjoyed our tour, but the weather was terrible. It rained the entire time. We could have done without the architicture tour of the park since it was raining. All the food stops were great. We will definitely go anther tour.

My mother and I went to Chicago for a girls getaway and decided to try something different. We chose the Wicker Park/BuckTown Tour because we had never seen that part of Chicago. The tour guide, Kent, was very knowledgeable, friendly and kept the tour moving at a good pace. The food was good and information about the history of the area was educational. The homemade marshmallows from Hot Chocolate were awesome! Next time we go to Chicago, we are going to try another food tour in the North Shore area. I definitely would recommend this tour to others!

Worth your time and $$

We only had 2 days to spend in Chicago, and this gave us the small neighborhood experience vs. the downtown shopping and sites. Every restaurant on the list was top knotch and the tasting portions were much more generous than expected. Lots of fun and interesting info was given by our guide, Lisa. She was really energetic, knowledgeable and appeared to live in the area - she personally knew lots of people we ran into during the tour. Our relatives we went with have lived in the outer Chicago area for 20+ years, and they were really impressed as well. I would definitely recommend this and will do it again in the future!

Perfect combination Food Tour -Neighborhood Tour

Our guide , Carrie was wonderful! She was very knowledgeable about the neighborhoods and the homes we stopped and talked about. I really liked that we visited 3 restaurants, took a break from the food and went on a walking tour of the area. We finished off with three more great food tasting. Never felt rushed , and all the restaurants had a place for the tour group to sit and enjoy their tastings. (except the pizza place. they were too busy). Overall, I loved it. I look forward to doing another Food Planet tour.

Great Experience

Kent our tour guide was very knowlegable about the food that was tasted and also on the area in which we were walking in. All of my party (me, my wife and 2 kids aged 15 & 18), ate everything. That's saying alot for my 15 year old who is a picky eater. It was quite a diverse cross section of food. Going from an official Chicago hot dog at George's to a salad the Goddesses. The homemade marshmellow at Hot Chocolate was to die for. This coming from people who live not that far from where Fluff is made. Definately would take this tour again.
