Chicago Food Planet Food Tours

Me and my boyfriend had an awesome time. We really enjoyed the variety of food and the mini tour of the area. Plus out guide was very friendly. No complaints here. The tour was one of the highlights of our trip and we look forward to trying a food tour around home.

We enjoyed the cultural aspects of the tour and the food was great! I'll bring my husband on one of the tours next time!

This tour was so efficient & resourceful...I know more about Chicago than ever & we come every year. Kent. our guide was passionate about the area & the food. He covered many topics & answered all questions....plus friendly & helpful.

It was a fun, interesting tour. Our tour guide was great and provided so many interesting facts about the restaurants and Chicago itself. We discovered shops I will definitely seek out next time am in the city .I hope to take the bucktown tour soon.

the tastings were wonderful as was the history of the area.

My husband and I (Chicago locals) took my Mom, in-town from Atlanta, on the Near North tour this past weekend and had a great time. Despite living in Chicago for over 8 years and being familar with the neighborhoods, many of the stops on the tour and historical facts we learned were new to us. We really enjoyed our guide, Kent - he was very knowledgable and seemed to really enjoy what he was doing. And we really appreciated that the stops on the tour were local businesses with a lot of history in the neighborhood, particularly in Old Town. Would definitely recommend this tour to visitors and locals alike.

This tour is the perfect blend of delicious food and rich Chicago history. The tastings were very well thought out, and exposed us to a wide variety of foods, and as we were digesting, we walked and talked about the cool history of Chicago. As a Chicago local for over a year, I learned a lot about this city!

My friends and I went on the tour as part of a bachelorette party weekend and had a blast. Not only was the food amazing but we also learned a lot about chicago's history. I would definitely go on a food tour again and recommend this to my friends and family.

I went on the Bucktown/Wicker Park tour as part of a bachelorette weekend trip. Our tour guide Sophie was fantastic! The food and info was great. I honestly expected a mediocre experience, but I had a blast and plan to go on another tour with this group.

Ive lived in the area over 30 years and this is One of the best activities I've done in the city! Plenty of food, great little shops on this enjoyable walking tour. Favorite stops were the deli and spice shop.

An enjoyable way to be introduced to recognized eateries with an explanation as to what makes them great. Nice tour of the neighborhood and great stories! Reasonable amount of walking. Food selection interesting. Only negatives: because it was a Saturday, seating not always available. Each restaurant provided a wonderful sample- maybe the route could be reconsidered....drinking a wonderful, very rich chocolate drink at Hot Chocolate with a home made marashmello right after consuming a George's Chicago hot dog just did not mix well. Individually each was great, mixing one right after the other, a little off. Otherwise a fun afternoon. Would like to look into the Chinatown food tour.

Our tour guy Kent was very knowledgeable and seemed to love his job. It is a must do for anyone who is wants to see more than just the "Bean" while they are in Chicago. The combination of food, local history and architecture is a great way to spend an afternoon. The places we went to were delicious and I'm planning to go back to all of them!!

This was our first food tour anywhere and it definitely lived up to our expectations. We took our 16 year old daughter and all three of us loved it. Our tour guide, Alia, did a great job describing the food to us and also pointing out interesting buildings in the neighborhoods we walked through. Our favorite stops were the tea shop and the spice house, much to our surprise, but they were incredibly interesting and we learned a lot. Reuben sandwiches at the deli were yummy. Deep dish pizza was heavy and greasy - could have done without the sausage. Also liked the olive oil and vinegar. Chocolate place was a little disappointing, as we thought were going to get a fondue type experience and the bakery was a little boring but everything else was excellent. It was a great way to see the neighborhoods and learn some of the city's history. I highly recommend it and would definitely do food tours in other cities now!!

Heather was sooo knowledgable, professional, and friendly. We had a good sized group; about 17 and somehow she remembered all our names! She was great if we had questions; but they were few since she was so complete with all her facts! I was so surprised how large the 'samples' were! Way too much for me! I would do this again it was so much fun!

This was our third of the three Food Planet tours in Chicago. Each has been a wonderful adventure through the different neighborhoods and culinary experiences. Although this Near North/Old Town tour does finish far from the start, the trip back along different streets was almost as enjoyable. It just lacked the tasting stops and our fabulous tour guide, Heather. I recommend these tours to everyone and hope that additional tours through other Chicago neighborhoods will soon be available.
