| My friends and I absolutely LOVED the food tour - the food, locations, and architectural tour was surprisingly interesting! Our tour guide was fantastic, patient, and energetic. There was definitely thought put in with regards to the timing of what and when you ate and the whole ensemble was very enjoyable! |

| The best part was the wealth of information given by the guide, Jessica, who was well informed. I didn't think the food was anything special, though. |

Would not recommend this tour

| A group of my friends attended the Old Town, Lincoln Park tour last year and absolutely loved it! We are still ordering from the tea store (sorry but I can't spell their official name), the Spice House and Old Town Oil. In fact, after the Wicker Park/Bucktown tour last week, we headed back to the above establishments. We knew this tour would be different than last years seeing that it was restaurants but there was not one restaurant that I would rush back to. There has to be better areas and better restaurants in the city of Chicago to do a similar tour. As a side note--the ice cream shop served ice cream with nuts--with all the people that are allergic to nuts (including me), I think they could have picked a better sample. They did make me a special ice cream but it was after everyone else was done and I felt uncomfortable. |

| My first trip to Chicago, can't wait to go back. I was glad I found BWP Food Tasting Tour. What a great time I had touring and eating. The guide was very informative about the area. The food was entirely too much, but I seem to totally enjoy all of it especially the pizza and icream. The experience was low keyed and very relaxing, walking around the neighborhood, with a small group of people checking out the Bucktown community. Great place to visit. |

| I would highly recommend this tour to anyone going to Chicago for a few days. Our tour guide was very knowledgable and we had a lot of fun. The food was all good and we would have never tried these places had we not known about them. We went back and visited three of them later in our stay and were very pleased with the food again. The three hours went by very quickly! You will NOT need to eat anything before hand. |

| My wife and I agree that this tour was the highlight of our trip to Chicago. Our tour guide, Kent, never stopped talking. He shared his architectural knowledge, restaurant reviews, history of the neighborhoods and personal experiences with great ease. All of the food we had from the Chicago dogs, iced chocolate drink, pasta salad, pizza and beer, falafel, and ice cream was excellent and enough for lunch and dinner. You can expect that we will pass our praises onto everyone we know that plan to visit Chicago. Thanks and we will see you again.
As an afterthought, when the weather is hot, you might want to suggest that people bring bottled water. We did, but others did not. |

| I took this tour with a friend on a recent visit to Chicago. We usually come to Chicago a couple times a year to shop downtown, but wanted to do something a little different on this trip. This tour was a wonderful opportunity to truly get a taste of a Chicago neighborhood from learning about the history, culture and architecture of Bucktown and Wicker Park while also being able to enjoy some of their wonderful restaurants and markets. Our tour guide, Kent. was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and attentive to those in our group. The food stops on the tour provided us with a nice variety of tastings and each was really good. Every stop, from the Chicago style hotdog at George's to the ice cream at i cream, was a real treat. The portions we received were generous and the staff at each stop were very welcoming to our group. We are planning to take the Mag Mile tour on our next visit to Chicago! |
