We did the planetfood tour on Saturday June 9th. The tour takes you through many interesting neighborhoods in and around the Loop area. I especially enjoyed going to the tea shop, the spice shop and the Fudge Pot. Our guide provided good info and background on the areas and homes we passed by. I would recommend the tour to anyone who likes to walk, enjoys history and is interested in finding out about good places to eat with the locals.

This was a wonderful tour. We've already recommended it to several of our friends that live in the city. Not only was there a great sampling of interesting, local foods, we learned a lot of great facts about the city. It was the perfect way to learn more about some of the neighborhoods and find places we'd like to visit again. |

My husband and I realyy enjoyed this walking tour. It allowed us to see different neighborhoods and gave us a sense of what Chicago has to offer. The tastings of "Old Chicago" vendors were plentiful and provided history.
The three hours on your feet was a bit exhausting but well worth it..
Nicki, our tour director was energetic, full of knowledge, and brought enthusiasm to the group... |

I grew up in Chicago and signed up for the Food Tour to please my wife. It was rainy, and a lot of walking, but our guide Nicki made it a throughly enjoyable experience of new places in Chicago and new eateries.
We hope the Chicago Food Planet will offer other neighborhood food tours, for our next visit to the Windy City from the South. We highly recommend the Norht Side tour we experienced, and commend our guide for her knowledge and good care of us. |

Our tour guide knew what she was talking about. She was experienced in her area having been a tour guide for 5+ years in Italy. She knew so much about Chicago and was able to share it with us. She was very personable and made me and my wife feel as if we were the only ones on the tour. I learned so much from her about Chicago and about the places that we stopped at on our tour. The foods were amazing but the entertainment was even better. At the end of the tour we mixed up our directions and ending up following the rest of the group to there stop when we need to go in the other directions. Our tour guidw was nice enough to take us in her car to catch the "L". She said she was going in that direction anyway but it was very helpful to us. Our tourguide more than made the tour and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour it was worth every penny i spent and them some. |

Put on your walking shoes and enjoy the interesting facts of the city by a knowledgeable guide. We had Shane and he was terrific. The stops were great, stopping at a super spice store, sampling cheeses, chocolates, pizzas, and great information at a terrific tea shop while sampling a giant iced tea. This tour was better than I anticipated, the best $40 I have spent in a long time. I went with my three sisters and we just loved every minute of it. ENJOY!!!!! |

I had a great time! |

Lots of walking, but totally worth it. Overview of the area's history, architecture, and food. Guide was informative and enthusiastic, and clearly wanted to make sure each participant had a good time. |
