LOVED IT!
Sat, Sep 19  1:00 PM toadsoup Female 50-59 Local Group of Friends
We had a great time! Weather was beautiful and 16 of us walked through the Bucktown and Wicker Park neighborhoods stopping at six places for wonderful foods. I've lived in the Chicago area for all my life and never knew there was a foodie walking tour. Went to a similar tour in NYC (Greenwich Village/Soho) and experienced a wonderful time. Thing is, we only went to one establishment where we actually sat and ate the food...most of the time, we ate our small offerings outside and listened to our tourguide. However, in Chicago, we actually sat in a pre-determined area at every restaurant which I thought was much nicer, eating a typical Chicago style hotdog; had iced "hot chocolate" drink with a homemade marshmellow at Hot Chocolate; a slice of pizza with a small tasting portion of beer (also good); a fantastic falafel with the best hummus I've ever tasted; a small pasta cup from Goddess Grocer (was okay, but loved to have a deli like this closer to the NW suburbs!) and finally, my absolute favorite: iCream where we all had a small cup of icecream whipped up from nitrogen! All in all, we had a fantastic time and our tour guide, Jess(?) was fantastic! By the way, we were stuffed! Had to bag the last sandwich (falafel) for a late supper...couldn't eat anymore despite walking for nearly 3 hours. Will do it again!

We had a great experience! Even though we have been to Chicago before, felt like we learned a lot about the neighborhoods and businesses along the way.

Great time

This was a great way to see the city and hear bits about food, architecture, and the character of the neighborhoods we were walking through. I'd say my least favorite stop was Catering/Chocolate - nothing special there at all. The other stops were a lot of fun, especially Old Town Oil and the Spice Shop, and the pizza place was a perfect way to end the tour. Our tour guide was so enthusiastic and you could tell that she really loved her city. Good way to get to know the city. A bit more local color would be nice - Italian beef, Chicago hot dogs, etc, but my husband and I really enjoyed ourselves.

We had been to Chicago before and had seen many of the tourist sights. We came this time with our 16 year old son, and we all thought it was the highlight of the trip. Loved many of the tasting stops and especially the neighborhood history.

I learned about this tour on food tv - and it well worth our time & money. My husband was skeptical and ended up really enjoying himself. Niki, our guide was very informative. Later during our vacation we revisited several of the locations & used the coupons they gave us. Definitely do this tour early in your trip so you can enhance your vacation. By the way the Spice House was our favorite stop.

My husband and I loved the tour! It was a very educational experience. We feel like we know Chicago a lot more now! We just hoped we could have tasted more food. But the overall experience was great:) We are definitely doing a taste tour of other cities.

Fun & informative tour

This is the second tour my daughter and I have gone on with Chicago Food Planet and I would highly recommend them. Our guide, Jessie, was knowledgeable and enthusiastic and we enjoyed visiting neighborhoods and restaurants that we hadn't been to before. We are not from the Chicago area and this gave us an opportunity to get out of the tourist areas and see some other areas of the city.

Unique and enjoyable experience
Sat, Oct 6, 07   11:00 AM tluter Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
My daughter and both I enjoy cooking (and eating) and we were looking for something different to do while in Chicago for the weekend. This tour fit the bill perfectly. Our tour guide, Nicki, was enthusiastic, friendly and very knowledgable. We enjoyed the variety of different shops and restaurants and seeing neighborhoods that we hadn't seen on previous trips to Chicago. Nicki kept the tour moving at a nice pace, but we never felt like we were rushed through any of the stops. We went back to several of the shops, after the tour, to purchase the items we had sampled and are looking forward to trying them out at home. A friend of mine was also on the tour with us and the 3 of us couldn't stop talking about how much we enjoyed the day. I would highly recommend this tour.

Great way to spend an afternoon in Chicago
Fri, Oct 17, 08   11:00 AM TLHHarris Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
I was in Chicago for a long weekend with my husband who was attending a seminar on Friday; therefore, I found myself with a free day. I had been to Chicago multiple times in the past while on business and never had time to "see" the city. I am a fan of Trip Advisors and have used it to plan many trips and thus resorted to reviews of top attractions for Chicago before attending. Excellent, consistent reviews by past customers led me to the Near North Tour. Weather was cool and perfect for walking, our guide, Jennifer, was enthusiastic, informative and fun and the historical information and the food were excellent. I would highly reccomend the tour to others!

Loved it!

Our guide had such enthusiasm that it spread throughout our group. I had a wonderful time learning about the history of the places we visited, as well as the history and architecture of other buildings we passed along the way. The food was great and the tour offered me the opportunity to try things outside of my norm (The Spice Shop and the Olive Oil/Vinegar place). Had a fantastic time and will try this type of tour in every city I visit!

My husband and I went on vacation to Chicago in April for his birthday. I found this tour and thought it would be interesting so I signed us up for it. The tour was everything I thought it would be and more. Nikki was our tour guide and she was wonderful and very enthusiastic about everything. I would recommend this tour to anyone who would like to learn more about Chicago and the local foodie places. We would definitley do it again! Thanks so much and keep up the good work!
