A fun and educational tour Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour
Sat, May 9 1:00 PM	stuecard1	Male	50-59	Local	Other
To start with the tour was extremely well organized and our host (Shane) was extremely personable and knowledgeable. The tour mixed in information on each of the foods we were introduced to with a myriad of facts about the areas of Chicago we were walking through. The tour was very well planned and scanned the spectrum from tasting exotic oils and vinegars to learning about rare spices, from tasting homemade hummus to sipping unique teas, from sampling incredible chocolate to devouring one of a kind stuffed pizza. My recommendation is to book early because this tour will sell out fast. There wasn't one person that I spoke to in our group who wouldn't go back again with a group of friends or relatives (even the hard to please ones!), including us! Well done Chicago Food Planet, we look forward to trying your Bucktown tour in the near future!
Bucktown / Wicker Park - Good mix! Bucktown/Wicker Park Food Tasting & Cultural Tour
Sat, May 9 11:30 AM	hlgerisc	Female	20-29	Combination	Other
Overall, this tour was a good mix of historical facts about the development of the culture/neighborhoods, as well as food tastings at various establishments. The group that I went with was a mix of out-of-towners, as well as locals. Even the locals learned a thing or two about their very own neighborhood. We enjoyed how the tour went though some neighborhoods to look at various homes' architectural style/history. A little more of that would be great (more about specific buildings, etc.)! The food tastings were very generous...we were by no means hungry when we left. We didn't need to eat lunch that day and we were fine until dinner time. I will say the hot chocolate was delicious, but VERY rich! The pizza was wonderful! The ice cream sample at iCream was very unique and flavorful. I would definitely recommend giving this tour a try! You'll find some great little places to eat and learn some history that you may have otherwise never known about.
Interesting and fun food tour + lots more Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour

This was a great tour that everyone enjoyed. We had delicious food samples and learned about various areas of Chicago. Our tour guide was fabulous -- enthusiastic and able to answer all of our questions. There is a lot of fast walking, so be prepared -- not recommended for those who have a hard time keeping up -- you cover a lot of ground.
Excellent idea, to start your Chicago Vacation Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour

This food walk was an excellent way to begin your vacation. The host was excellent and the information exceptional. I would recommend taking the tour at the beginning of your Chicago vacation, it provides valuable "local" information and gives you great suggestions for places to eat, and things to do. I do suggest eating prior to going on the walk, there is not as much food as one would think, however, the historical information was priceless. I plan on booking the other food walk through this site the next time I visit the Chicago Land area. Well worth the cost of the ticket !
Fun Interesting Beautiful Tasty Enjoyment Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour

It was a very enjoyable walk through the Near North neighborhoods of Chicago. We observed beautiful and eclectic architecture with tidbits of interesting info on some of them. Stopping on occasion to taste the delights of unique purveyors of foods and spice. Our guide (Nicki) was fantastic. I'd love to get some friends to come along and do it all over again!
Fabulous activity - not to be missed Bucktown/Wicker Park Food Tasting & Cultural Tour
Sat, May 2 11:30 AM	Lauren54	Female	50-59	Domestic Tourist(s)	Other
This was such a great tour. I can't rave enough about it. The food was all delicious (plenty of food, at least for a female). Learned a lot about this beautiful little area of Chicago. I went primarily because my grad school daughter is planning to move to Wicker Park. However, I recommend this to anyone as a great activity to really learn about Chicago and taste some GREAT food.
Fun way to enjoy the neighborhoods! Bucktown/Wicker Park Food Tasting & Cultural Tour
Sat, May 2 11:30 AM	Fperetti	Female	20-29	Local	Other
The tour gives you a good feel for Bucktown/Wicker Park from its history to all the yummy eats. It was a really great way to spend the afternoon. And, they didn't skimp on the food portions! Complaint: When I asked the tour guides where was a good place to eat for Cinqo de Mayo they couldn't even recommend a restaurant, not even the Mexican restaurant on the tour. That just left a bad impression.

Rainy Day Food Tour Bucktown/Wicker Park Food Tasting & Cultural Tour

Even though the weather didn't cooperate, we had a delightful time on our tour. Kent was very knowledgeable about the area and its history. We definitely would not have visited the Bucktown/Wicker Park area without having scheduled this tour. A trainee, Ben, was extremely friendly (He just needs a bit more practice on his delivery so it sounds more natural.). My only recommendation is to make the tour a little shorter, maybe 2-2 1/2 hrs.
Review of Tour Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour

I thought the tour was nice and enjoyed learning more about Chicago. To advertise it as a food tour is sort of misleading given that we only got a slice of pizza, potato cake and candy. I believe the one in bucktown has more restaurants but that should be outlined and explained.
Great tour! Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour

We enjoyed the walk through a part of Chicago on a day with beautiful weather. We had samples at each place and were fed just the right amount. The variety made it interesting as well as the information about the places we saw.

This was a Mother Daughter weekend for us and we both throughly enjoyed the walk through the side streets and popping into the gems of the city that the locals frequent. Only wish we had taken this tour the 1st day so we could return to some of the places we walked past or that the guide talked about. Our guide was a local with good knowledge of the architecture, history, and little known facts. Food tasting were good and varried. If you don't mind walking quite a bit you'll love this tour.

The best aspect of our tour was our guide and her knowledge of eclectic Chicago food and beverage locations. She was absolutely a charm.
