| This was my 4th or 5th visit to Chicago and I when I came the first time I went on a bus tour and lasted an hour and a half as it was such a nice summer day. So when I read about this walking tour I thought I would do something different than I usually do when I come to Chicago. I enjoyed the shops that they took us to and it was great going to the different neighbourhoods of Chicago. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. I would recommend it to anyone I know who would be coming to Chicago. | ||||||

| My husband, myself and my 16 year old son really enjoyed this tour. It offered a great variety in the different stops (tastings) we made and we found it enjoyable and interesting as well. It was a beautiful day so walking around Chicago was also a pleasure. We loved seeing the different neighborhoods of Chicago. It was very nice that we got to sit down at Bacino's Pizza to enjoy the pizza and rest a bit! Our tour guide (Emily) was very sweet and informative. The only negative comment I have is the last stop - Ethel's Chocolate Shop - I thought they could have offered a bit more than two tiny pieces of chocolate - perhaps a small cup of hot chocolate as well would have been nicer. Other than that, nothing negative to say at all! Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Chicago! | ||||||

| My husband and I live in Chicago and love to explore new restaurants and neighborhoods in the city. My mother-in-law comes in to Chicago often to visit and attend plays and other events with us. We thought the food tour would be a great change of pace and something new, as well as a great way to explore the city for a day. This tour was AMAZING!!! The restaurants and shops that we visited were well spaced and great finds. Most of the stops we had not heard of, but were happy to visit. In between the stops our guide, Kate, was very knowledgeable of historical facts, architectural tidbits and local lore. We enjoyed the walk and all of the information as much as the food finds. The tour started out at a great central location and ended in a great central location as well. The materials gave us directions on how to easily get back to where we started. We decided to stay in the neighborhood and go to the Lincoln Park Zoo, which was right along our tour route. It was great to have specialty shops included in the tour as well as restaurants. In our tour we visited a well-renowned spice store, an olive oil and vinegar shop, and a loose tea shop. The tour converted all of us to loose tea drinkers!!! As someone who enjoys cooking almost as much as finding new restaurants I've already started a list of the spices and oils I'd like to purchase. As locals we will definitely be stopping by the stores to do some shopping. After the tour we did go back directly to the tea shop and did some shopping using the coupons you get as part of the tour. For anyone who cannot immediately return, most of the shops have website ordering as well. We would highly recommend this tour for local Chicogans as well as visitors. It's a great way to explore the city. The walking tour provides great insight on Chicago history and architecture and the food is amazing. The neighborhoods we visited are common enough as a local, but we learned more interesting facts about the city. For first-time Chicago visitors, this would be a great way to see the city, have lunch and get recommendations on restaurants for dinner. Definitely wear comfortable walking shoes!!! We bought bottled water ahead of time since the tour in mostly non-stop. Our only suggestion for improvement would be to have the tour take place on a more circular route. I'm not sure if that's possible while including all of the 8 tastings, but ending the tour 2.5 miles away from the start took up valuable time getting back to the starting point that we were hoping to spend revisiting our favorite stops. My only other suggestion would be to replace the last stop (an extremely popular chocolate shop) with a more less known local establishment. It was the only shop I felt I would have visited on my own without it needing to be included on this tour. Our guide mentioned a new tour may be introduced next year focused on a different neighborhood and we will be there!!! | ||||||

| We had a great time on the tour. Our guide, Jennifer, was very knowledgeable about the neighborhoods. At the end of the tour, she gave us some great recommendations about other places around Chicago to visit and explore. The length of the tour seemed just right. We also enjoyed the variety of foods and the fact that all of the businesses were local, independent places. Similarly, exploring residential neighborhoods that were off the beaten track for a typical tourist was great. We'd definitely recommend the tour, and we hope that Chicago Food Planet will consider expanding its offerings with other food/neighborhood tours in other sections of the city. | ||||||

| this activity was a lot of fun - especially with family who have visited several times and you are running out of things to do. It's true, many of the places you can find yourself, but to have it all organized, additional information provided, little tastings along the way was lots of fun and well worth it. I will do it again with a new group of friends or family. | ||||||

| The tour took us to interesting shops where the guide and shop people informed us about their products. Our tour guide had a wonderful personality and by the end of the tour, the participants were quite chatty and friendly with one another. One aspect of the tour that was particularly enjoyable is that we visited parts of the city where we had never been before. The historical and architectural information provided by the guide was especially of interest to me. We had teenagers with us who actually said they enjoyed themselves!! | ||||||
