Chicago Food Planet Food Tours

Very fun tour that took me to places I had never been before (except for Lou Malnatis). The tour guide was excellent, fun, and knowledgeable.

I LOVED IT

Our tour guide seemed very knowledgeable about Chinese culture and customs. She had answers for all sorts of questions thrown at her, which I found quite impressive. She also had a true understanding of the food, how it was prepared, spices used, etc. I found this extremely helpful, considering that I never quite cared for Chinese food...however, her "intros" helped me to determine what I probably could handle and what I probably could do without.

This is a fantastic tour to take with friends or family. Our guide, Alia, was very knowledgeable and the food was terrific. We loved that we got a list of restaurants in the area and a map too. We all will be going back soon. I would suggest this tour for out of town guests as well.

Martha our guide was a complete gem! Kept everything moving and totally interacted with our group. Would really recommend this tour to not only out of towers but locals.

I grew up in the Chicago area and had a friend visiting from out of town. We decided to do the Wicker Park/Bucktown tour. It was awesome! Our guide, Kari was friendly, professional and knowledgable. The restaurants we visited all had delicious food, and we were able to get a break from eating that wonderful food when we spent about 30 minutes walking around Wicker Park residental areas. I learned a lot about the development of both Bucktown and Wicker Park. I highly recommend this tour for everyone!

Just went on a food planet tour in Bucktown/Wicker Park led by Kent. We had a wonderful time. He knew so much about the history of the area and he was a ton of fun, a natural storyteller. The food was amazing! I don't know that I can pick a favorite, although I am still dreaming about the hot chocolate and homemade marshmallow at Mindy's Hot Chocolate. I highly recommend this tour! Bring your appetite and no dieting!

Our tour guide was awesome. Martha did a great job at leading the tour, she was very knowledgeable about the history of the neighborhoods and the background of the food we were eating. The owner of the spice house gave a very animated presentation about spices, he was amusing. I will recommend this tour to my friends.

I recently went on the Bucktown/Wicker Park food tour. Sophie was our tour guide and was great. She gave us so much information while also having fun. You could tell she really enjoyed being a tour guide and was very enthusiastic about it. I would definitely do the tour again and am looking into getting a big group to fill all 15 spots and do the tour again.

Heather was absolutely fabulous - positive, funny, fun, pleasant, knowledgable, accomodating, etc. Since we were local we knew some of the places. Places we visited I didn't really think depicted Chicago, although they were quality places. Tour ran smoothly and lots to eat and taste which was nice.

Great food, great guide, lots of local history - we gals had a blast!

Loved the walking tour. Our guide was Jess and she was wonderful. Food items were great. The spice house and tea store offered some new info. Already talking about trying the other tours. I am local and really enjoyed meeting the out of town people in the group. I liked that we did get discounts at the shops we visited but could not use while there. It kept it from feeling like we were expected to buy something. The tour was very organized.

As a local, I learned a lot about the area, cuisine and history and felt the guide was very knowledgable. The length of tour and qty of food was perfect. Will highly recommend to both locals and out of town friends/guests.

Perfect weather and an enthusiastic tour guide, made this tour fun and fabulous. We enjoyed the variety of tastings and learned a lot about cuisine and history of Chicago.

Not all the restaurants met our expectations, specifically Lao Beijing. Our guide was well informed, cordial, and enthusiastic. Having organized the tour quite well, she producted a satisfying experience that was lacking only in the kind of food and service we experienced in Lao Beijing. I'd never go there again.
