| Kent, our guide, did a great job. Very personable. We're from Ohio and when we return to visit our daughter who works in Chicago, we'll definitely revisit Bucktown and Wicker Park. |

| Great tour, even though it rained all day. I would have liked 1-2 more food stops, though the history/architecture was good. |

| A really fun tour. we were a group of cowrokers from the midwest in Chicago for work. This activity fit the bill for providing an activity that was a different and yet appealed to everyone. Who doesnt love food right? Kent was a fantastic guide who knows his stuff and obviously cares about the food he eats. The food you try is fantastic. The sampling is genereous, you wont leave hungry. I also loved the tour of the neightborhood made me want to visit again. Overall highly reccommended. |

| We wished we would have done this tour the moment we landed. It was very informative and the food was not only authentic but AMAZING!!! Our tour guide Kent was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The food was the best. There was a lot of food. From the Chicago hot dog at Mike's, the falafel from The Sultan, and the best part was ice cream from Icream (that lady is a genius). We were so full by the end of tour. We forced ourselves to go back to Wicker Park for dinner at the Silver Cloud, which of course was delicious. I recommend the White Trash Nachos and the Pot Pie. I wasn't too impress with Chicago the first time we went, but after taking this tour it gave me a whole new appreciation for this wonderful town. Even during the rain. We will definetly look for this type of tour in all our travels. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS...YOU MUST DO IT... |

| Had a wonderful guide who showed us the area and gave many good details about its history and current info. The restaurants were really wonderful. We all enjoyed this outing very much.
I was really impressed as to how the neighborhood has come back. |

| The leader of the tour was friendly and very knowledgable about his material. The fact that the group was largely local did not put him off his game. The food choices were very good with the exception of Goddess & Grocer ( a different sample should be chosen). All in all an enjoyable afternoon with friends. |

| We were 12 Chicago-area ladies from the 20s to the 60s spending a fine day with our tour guide, Kent. From the food to the restaurants to the history and architecture, everything was well planned.
If you want an easy going 3 hours with a bit too much good food, here is a great tour to choose. |

| I can't say enough about this wonderful tour. Delicious and abundant food, fun and knowledgeable tour guide, beautiful architecture, extremely well-organized. I would love to see more quality tours such as this one in other Chicago neighborhoods. Whatever you do, don't eat before the tour! Water and bathroom breaks were available at stops along the way, and although there was a lot of walking, there were many opportunities to sit also. We were three generations on this tour and all of us loved it. |
