My husband and I really enjoyed this tour! There was lots of food and great informational items from the tour guide. I would recommend this tour to anyone that loves to eat food and learn more about the Chicago neighborhood. |

We all really enjoyed the tour and thought the food was fantastic and so was Kirt who was very knowledgeable and up beat. We would recommend this tour. We didn't enjoy it as much as we would have if it wasn't 90 degrees outside. |

All of the places we went to were great. The food was fantastic and very filling. You will not be hungry after this tour. In fact we were stuffed. Our guide knew a lot about the different neighborhoods and she did a great job with our group. Thanks for another great food tour. I highly recommend this tour. |

Our tour guide led us through a charming neighborhood section of Chicago. There's more to the city than the Magnificent Mile! My husband and I enjoy seeing a city by taking tours such as these. In addition to informative commentary about the history of the touring area, the several stops at local, high-end eateries were wonderful. The tastings were very generous and we were quite full at the end! We returned to downtown and highly recommended it to our hosts who have lived in Chicago for several years! If time allowed, we would have gone on other tours with this group. |

Terrific way to explore Chicago! My husband couldn't come with us so we brought him on Saturday and had brunch at one of the great places our guide recommended The Bongo Room, really terrific! Looking forward to coming back to Chicago and booking another tour |

Would definitely recommend! Our group consisted entirely of locals (some who even lived in the neighborhood for a time) and we all had a great time and learned something new about the area. Fun way to try some new restaurants and get outdoors! |

The food choices were diverse in terms of types of food which is a good thing. I loved the historical information about the neighborhoods of Wicker Park and Bucktown. I also enjoyed the educational introduction of the style of architecture of the homes. It was very interesting! |

Kent was a great tour guide. The pacing was good and even though it was a hot, muggy day we really enjoyed ourselves. |

This was a _great_ experience for us!!! We were in CHI-town for our 2-yr anniversary ... and, spent the weekend exploring architecture and food.
We thought we were 'just' going on a food tour ..... no Sir-ee, Bub. This was an introduction to local food hotspots, a history lesson on the neighbourhoods in which the restaurants on the tour were, an amazingly well-informed architectural tour of the neighbourhoods, a bit of a wander, sightseeing, fun with the tour group, personal service yum and fun fest. What a spectacularly balanced 'event'. One of the best ways to spend a few hours in Chicago ... by _far_! We got far more than we expected and, without a doubt, more than our money's worth ..... we'd recommend this tour to virtually anyone, any age, etc. Pure pleasure! (And, our guide was _superb_!!!!!) |

My mom and I recently took the Bucktown/Wicker Park tour with Carrie. All the food was absolutely delish...do not eat lunch; you will be more than stuffed! We learned so much about the neighborhood from Carrie, she is truly passionate about what she does and it shines in her work! For each establishment/historical spot that we visited Carrie gave a personal story that really helped you relate to the area we were visiting. It is a great way to feel like a local for a day |
