Guide was knowledgable and most of places we visited were worth the visit. There were some different venues which we would not have visited without this exposure. The Middle Eastern and iCream were unique and enjoyable. We would encourage others to take the tour if asked. The scope of architecture was varied and history added to the experience. |

I highly recommend this tour. The tour guide, Kent, made it great. He was very entertaining plus knowledgable about the food, owners, history and the local architechture. It was extra nice to be in one of the older neighborhoods away from the heavy tourist areas. The amount of food is filling and I was full by the end. I heard the other food planet tour was also excellent and wish I had taken it also. |

The food choices, in all their simplicity and unpretentiousness, were surprisingly unforgettable and offered me a chance to sample eclectic cuisine I would have otherwise never tried. The stops were planned perfectly, so that one never felt overstrained or weighed down by too much extraneous information (as can sometimes happen in other tours.) This tour is a uniquely brilliant way to experience the city. |

Great day. The food and tour guide were excellent. Learned about some new food and also about the history of the area. Loved it and the North side we did last year. Will recommend to friends anytime. |

The food we sampled was terrific and we'll go to some of the places again. In fact my daughter who lives in Chicago already has. I wish there would have been more walking and information about the area but we had a great time. We've taken both food tours and liked them both. I would highly recommend either tour to tourists in Chicago. |

We selected the Bucktown Taste Tour as part of an annual company outing. These outings can be hit or miss based on the different likes and dislikes of the participants. We had 9 members attend and I recieved high remarks by all members of the group. Kudo's to the organizers on making this a great event for my team. |

Tour guide was very informative and personable. Food was delicious and a nice mix of styles. Touring the neighbourhood gave an upclose look at the beautiful homes and gave us a feel for Chicago very different from the touristy downtown. Highly recommend. |

George's Hot Dog - Good
Hot Chocolate - loved the homemade marshmallow and good drink
Goddess Deli - it's a very cute place, BUT the food provided during the tour was extremely unimpressive and boring (not very good)
Piece - loved the ambiance, good pizza and beer
Sultan Market - i was too full to eat this there, but when I took it back to my hotel and had it for dinner -- it was really good; enjoyed this
iCream - very different and enjoyed this very much
tour guide - extremely knowledgeable; good tour guide
history - interesting facts |
