Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour

For a first timer to Chicago, it was definitely a good starting point to get a more intimate feel for Chicago. The choices and order of food tasted and visited was excellent. We were fortunate to have a good weather day with lots of sun, and our tour guides kept us going at a good walking pace.

Our tour guide Heather was very energetic, friendly, and knowledgeable of the area. I really enjoyed myself and would not hesitate to recommend this tour to others. I left knowing a good deal of interesting tidbits about the Chicago area and can't wait to come back and do some more exploring on my own and perhaps trying your other guided tours in the area.

We had been open to the possibility that this would be too "touristy" for seasoned travelers, but it was actually fun and informative. While giving us information about local foods and their place in Chicago food history, we were exposed to information about the neighborhood that we would not have found out, and made us feel more "at home" in the city. I HIGHLY recommend this tour; I wish we had had time to do the other one. Great guide- wish I could remember her name!

This was an amazing experience! I personally live in the city and found so many great places I didn't know about on the tour. You are definitely full afterwards too! Part of my group was from the suburbs and they can't wait to get back to the city to go back to the places we found. Our tour guide was incredible and very knowledgable. I recommend this to anyone that wants to enjoy everything Chicago has to offer!

We like taking a walking tour of local area that isn't touristy in such a big city. The tour guide really helped identify what we would likely just pass and not know the significance of the shops/stores/buildings/parks that are in the area. The food certainly helps, especially good food, and this tour offered plenty. We would definitely recommend this tour to our friends/family.

We ate some great food and learned some really interesting facts on the food and the city in general. Had a great time!

All the tastings were very good and Nicole, our guide, was very informative. Wish we had time to shop.

Every single place we visited was great, and Kent did a wonderful job with adding local color as we walked the neighborhood.

Highly recommend great way to learn about the area and eat great food.

It's a perfect way to get to know a little bit more of the city, it's historical revenues and taste some really local foods. The Deep Dish Pizza is awesome, the spices and oil stores were surprinsigly great stops, and some doubtful pastries in the end couldn't diminish this really cool activity!
