Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour

A great experience from start to finish! Great food, interesting facts. A truly delightful experience.

The tour, and our tour guide (I wish I could remember her name) were both wonderful! We will tour again!!!

It was a semi-rainy Saturday and I had booked the last tour time slot (12:30pm) so I was kinda grumpy from the get go and the fact that I didn't get the time I wanted (I wanted an 11am slot but it was booked) made me even more ornery. When we arrived at the meeting spot there was a tall attractive blonde speaking to a bunch of people and I was hoping she would be our guide - you know what they say blondes are better!! But alas, she was not. She was the guide for 12:00pm tour. My 12:30 tour guide was Nikki, a small statured lady and pregnant to boot, my first impression "Great, last slot of the day and I get the pregnant lady. Kiss my $45 good-bye". Wow! Was I wrong!! Nikki rocked the boat! She made everything sooo insightful and really had me captivated with her enthusiasm for her City and the places that we were visiting. I REALLY REALLY liked this tour and I'm looking forward to going to their Bucker/Wicker Park tour the next time I'm in town AND revisiting all of the amazing places she introduced me to this time around! Thanks Nikki! You Rock!

This was the second time we've taken this tour, and with Jess in the lead, I learned even more than I did the first time. Several of the businesses on the tour have our continued business even though we're in Columbia, SC!!

It was nice to have good sized servings from food places as well as the guide describing other features of the city that we walked by.

What a wonderful experience!! Not only was all the food delicious but our tour guide Jess made it interesting. The time flew by. Loved being able to walk in neighborhoods that we might not have gone to and Jess gave us the history of the area that brought it even more alive. Enjoyed all of the different foods. Chicago is truly a multi-cultural city. We have been on fabulous food tours in Boston and NYC Greenwich Village. This tours rates right up there. The foods are great but the tour guide makes it an exceptional way to spend the day. Thanks Jess!! 👍

Incredibly interesting tour. They hit the history of the food as well as the restaurants you stop at, and some really interesting historical landmarks along the way. Good amount of food...definitely worth the money. I will go on a tour with Chicago Food Planet again.

The guide made our tour so enjoyable! She was very attentive to everyone. The food stops were an excellent combination of culinary delights. I highly recommend this tour!

Tour gives a nice feel for local cuisine as well as local culture. Highly recommend .. Thanks Colleen (our tour guide).

all the stops had very good food to enjoy
