Fun and well organized!

Our tour guide was so knowlegeable and friendly. The tour description should also include that nearly half the time was spent walking and looking at architecture and the other half was food tasting. We almost didn't book because we were afraid that it would be too much eating but instead it was the perfect combination of 3 of my favorites activities; walking, eating and looking at real estate. My 26 year old son loved it too. Thanks!

Our guide was personable, humorous and knowledgeable about the businesses and the neighborhood history. The businesses provided delicious samples of their wares. A good time. Worth the time and $$.

We enjoyed every part of the tour. The food was delicious! The information about each restaurant was fun and informative. The architectural tour throughout the surrounding neighborhoods was great too! I would recommend the tour to anyone who likes to eat yummy food and visit new places. We're looking forward to doing the tour in other cities we visit!

I can't say enough about the Chicago Food Planet tours. My boyfriend and I visited Chicago two years ago and stumbled upon the Northern/Lincoln Park tour. We loved the tour so much we knew on our next trip to the windy city, this was a must do! The Wicker Park/Bucktown tour was awesome! We enjoyed each and every delicious stop. Our guide Kent was great. He was extremely enthusiastic and seemed to not only enjoy his job, but also had a lot of pride for his city. I also loved learning all the history and architecture of the area. I can't wait for my next trip to Chicago to try the Chinatown tour. If you are a foodie and want a unique experience this tour is for you!

I didn't know really what to expect but was pleasantly surprised that it was so interesting and the food was diverse and very tasty. We had a group of eight people and that was so nice....not too big. I loved all the six stops. The guide was also knowledgeable about the architecture of the area...could have spent more time on that part. The only change that I'd recommend is putting the hot chocolate somewhere towards the end of the tour. Thanks again....a highlight of Chicago for me.

My husband and I highly recommend the Bucktown/Wicker Park tour. Kent was our guide and it was obvious he enjoyed his job. He had a great sense of humor and offered good information on the area. The food on the tour was excellent! Thanks Kent we had a great time!

Kent was a great guide and we had a good time going on the food tour. The places were different and it was nice to get to another part of the city that I do not normally visit.

This is the second food tour we took. Would recommend it so you can experience other areas of Chicago. They hire the best guides ever. Worth taking the time out of your stay.

Wonderful afternoon Chicago food/with bit history

This was an absolutely delicious, delightful and interesting afternoon tour. The guide was very knowledgeable of the food establishments visited and sites described on walking portion. Definitely come hungry but at the end you won't be looking for more food. There were 4 people in our group on the tour from a 27 year old (local) to a 62 year old. Everyone really enjoyed it and thought it to be very entertaining and worthwhile. There were 7 other people with our tour and they all commented that they enjoyed themselves too. It was nice that the size of the tour is limited in number because of some establishments but it allowed us to get to know and talk to other members in our tour, who were also from out-of-state locations.
