All the stops at this food tour were fantastic but what made it awesome, I believe is our tour guide Hillary. She was enthusiastic, very engaging and have lots of knowledge, not only about the tour itself but the neighborhoods that we passed by and the architecture within our route. Hands down to Hillary.

Best food tour ever

This was a terrific walking food tour of a Chicago neighborhood. Of course it was fun seeing and being a part of the neighborhood and then to have delicious food samples only added to the pure joy of the day. Our leader, Kent, was enthusiastic, sensitive to the group's needs, knowledgeable, and possessed a great sense of timing. The time flew by. One of my favorite stops was the vinegar and oil shop. In fact, I liked the products so much that when I returned to Maine, I ordered a shipment of the products - of course, using my 10% discount. I thoroughly recommend this tour.

Nicole was really friendly and thoughtful in terms of being a tour guide. She was awesome! But I would suggest that this tour should have more in-depth story of the great food we had. It's a pity that the food we had were really amazing but we knew little about them despite their taste.

we enjoyed the tour: took us to a neighborhood that we didn't explore yet. we were only in the city for 2.5 days, this was a really enjoyable way to spend half a day exploring and seeing some of Chicago. Great guide: lots of fun, informative and well organized. will try to look for something similar in my home city. Definitely would recommend this to others.

FOR FOOD FANATICS

Like many, I, too, LOVED the Chicago Food Planet Near North Tour. Seeing beautiful architecture in neighborhoods that I wouldn't have normally gone through and tasting foods in several different local stores made this tour amazing! My personal favorite was the oil shop we went to, some in my group loved the chocolate shop and spice house. I would recommend wearing great walking shoes because we did not and our feet were hurting at the end. The coupons that they give for the different stores were very helpful when purchasing items from the different shops however, you can't buy items while on the tour so I would suggest setting aside time in your trip to go back and purchase the food you liked the best. This was a great way to see and taste the city of Chicago for all types of tourists and even locals!!

A must do

This tour was great. The guide was great at knowing what we wanted to know about. The tour was informative, relaxed and just fun. The places you eat are thought out and well organized. We all joked that it should be called a grazing tour cause you eat a little and walk a little eat a little more and walk some more. It also showed us somethings we could go back a do. Such as the 2nd city comedy club. We had a great time and would recommend to anyone who has a afternoon free. That doesn't know much about chicago. The cost was well worth it in case you were wondering

nice getaway

This is a very good getaway for few hours. The entire time it takes for this tour including driving back and forth is about 5 hours (depending on where you live). This is perfect for a weekend. The tour itself was good, great places you usually wouldnt go to. Our guide Heather was great, keeping the conversation lively among all the tour members. Would recommend to friends.

THE VARIOUS FOODS WE VERY GOOD.THE WALKING PART OF THE TOUR WAS VERY GOOD {PHYSICALLY} ALTHOUGH THE GIRLS DID COMPLAIN WHEN WE STARTED OUR WALK BACK TO THE STARTING POINT OF THE TOUR.

Our food tour and guide were great! I had done a food tour in NYC a year ago and thought it was so much fun that I looked into it in Chicago and was very pleased they are offered here, too. The tours give you such a different perspective on the city allowing a peek into neighborhoods we would not otherwise venture into. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys learning (and eating!) about the city you're visiting beyond the usual touristy sites. It's a lot of walking, but we figured the calories count for less that way! :-)
