Thoroughly Enjoyable.

This was the highlight of a weekend get-a-way for my husband & me. We chose Chicago for the variety of entertainment options and this was, hands down, the most fun. Jessie was our guide and she was very knowledgeable, professional, and enthusiastic. She showcased the cultural aspects of the 3 neighborhoods and did a outstanding job in the 7 food establishments. There was plenty to eat. We didn't even eat dinner before the theater that night. I can't wait to go back to Chicago and take the Bucktown/Wicker Park Tour.

Loved our walking/tasting tour of Chicago!!!
Sat, Oct 17  12:00 PM valrober Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
We spent a wonderful afternoon with our adorable guide Jessie learning about the food, architecture and history of the Gold Coast, Old Town and Lincoln Park! The pacing of this tour is obviously well-thought out. The tastings were interspersed with leisurely walks and informative talks not to mention the needed restroom break when it was needed. The tastings were all in small "mom and pop" type businesses...not chain stores. The group was just the right size to be able to hear Jessie's fun, informative chats. We loved the flavored olive oils and vinegars at Old Town Oil, the amazing array of spices at the Spice House and the fabulous butter toffee at the Fudge Pot! These tastings not skimpy either! The tour ended with a generous slice of deep dish pizza at Bacino's, and it was excellent. Most of these businesses have websites that you can visit after your tour. Half of my friends walked the tour in reverse to buy some of the items we sampled! I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for something to do other than shop on the Magnificent Mile! We can't wait to return and do the other tour!

Great experience!

Our tour guide, Ben, did a great job providing descriptions of the restaurants/food we sampled as well as interesting commentary on the area history and architecture. His information about area restaurants made us want to spend more time in Wicker Park - we are already planning our next trip to Chicago!

I was very pleased with the tour.
Sat, Oct 17  11:30 AM MaryVogel Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
I would definitely do it again. I have never done anything like this. I really enjoyed the fudge pot and Bacino's pizzeria. The only draw back was that we were not aware that you had to get back to your starting point on your own. Thank goodness for the map. The spice house was great the smell was wonderful. I enjoyed hearing about the neighborhoods and seeing the different types of architecture.

The most enjoyable activity I've done in a while
Sat, Oct 17  11:30 AM jwright1 Female 40-49 Local Group of Friends
The Near North Food Tour was very enjoyable. The guide was very knowledgeable of the area and of the establishments. She was very enthusiastic and attentive to everyone in our group. I really liked that it touched on alot of the stores and restaurants but also on some of the stores and restaurants unique to the area (not chains). It was very nice to leisurely walk the different neighborhoods and view/learn about the buildings, the people and the area. Overall, it was just a great experience and I look forward to participating on other tours offered.

Amazing! Will go back!

Our tour group leader was Arianna. She was very informational and you could tell she enjoyed her job. She was very easy going and very knowledgable! I enjoyed every moment of the trip and my mouth has been non stop about everything from start to finish with other people I intend to take with me on the next tour. I look forward to going back on future Chicago visits to the locations we stopped at. The only part I would say lacking would be no time for shopping at each food tasting stop. It would be hard to cram everyone's purchase and still end at a reasonable time...that I understand! Overall...fantasic!

I had a very enjoyable time on the tour. Our tour guide was very nice, knowlegable and enthusiastic about the food and history of the neighborhoods that we visited. I would definitely recommend this tour and especially our tour guide. Next time I visit Chicago I might look into going on the other food tour.

The tour leader for the 11:30am tour was wonderful, happy and informative. Each of the businesses from the Jewish Deli, the Spice shop(with explaination of spices and their useful life), the tea shop was informative, choclate shope was great, and the Pizza was wonderful as a last stop. The explaination of the buildings along the tour was fun and interesting. I highly recomend it.

Our group ranged in age from 25 to 55, and we all enjoyed this amazing adventure. Our guide, Jennifer, was wonderful She guided us through the history, architecture and culture of these beautiful neighborhoods. The food tasting stops along the way were the frosting on the cake. We enjoyed it all. We will definitely do the other neighborhood food tasting tour offered by Chicago Food Planet, Inc.

Great way to spend an afternoon
Fri, Oct 16  12:30 PM TrishKirkeid Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
The Bucktown/Wicker Park walking food tour was great. Lots of food to taste-great variety. Our tour guide was delightful. Walking through the neighborhoods was a treat. Even though the weather was cold and dreary, our tour was fabulous and a great way to spend an afternoon --don't let the weather stop you. Last year we did the north food walking tour and we enjoyed that one so much that we decided to do this one. Well worth it !!!!

A FOOD LOVER'S DREAM!
Fri, Oct 16  12:00 PM angelmika712 Female 20-29 Local Group of Friends
I surprised my best friend by taking her along this food tour in the always exciting Bucktown/Wicker park neighborhood. I must say that this tour is a MUST DO if anyone is visiting Chicago! The food selection and what we ate we're definitely not "sample" size by any means. Tasting quality food of large portions were definitely a deal for the amount I paid for our tour tickets. Ben was our tour guide who had an outgoing personality. The three hour tour never had a dull moment and it truly was a great way to spend the day! It was a well-balanced planned event from the food tasting to the educational cultural part of the tour. Our husbands were so jealous looking at our pictures that we all planned on coming back together to feast again very soon!
