We took this tour for my mom's 50th Birthday. She loved it - she said it was the best birthday present that she has ever received. We had Nikki as our tour guide and she was fantastic - very knowledgeable and fun!

Did the Bucktown tour a few weeks earlier....... Both tours were good, and felt the Bucktown was the best of the two. Both guides excellent, but there was more food on the Bucktown.

Jessie was great. Handled herself very well when half the group shopped when asked not to in the beginningof the tour. We enjoyed everything and would not change a thing.
Must Do in Chicago! Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour

My friend and I had a fantastic time on our food tour. The guide was amazing- she knew so much about the city, and obviously loved her job and the city as well. The food was delicious- I was definitely full by the end of the tour. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is willing to do a bit of walking to see one of my favorite cities in the world!
Something Different To Do... Bucktown/Wicker Park Food Tasting & Cultural Tour
Sat, Aug 15 11:30 AM	ahmypyle	Female	30-39	Local	Group of Friends
This tour was very good. It was different and nice to get away from Michigan Avenue and learn a little about some other Chicagoland areas, (I take the train into Chicago at least once a month). It was a nice change of pace. Hope to see even a few more food stops added as time goes by but definately served its purpose. I would NEVER have visited some of those restaurants on my own but now cannot wait to take friends there. Tour guide- KENT- ROCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) -Amy Pyle
It's a Triple A........An Awesome Afternoon!! Bucktown/Wicker Park Food Tasting & Cultural Tour

This is the 2nd tour we've been on. We loved the Gold Coast one so much that we were enthusiastic to do the Bucktown tour. It didn't let us down. What a great way to see some of the neighborhood and sample some of the best food in the city. It was long enough to make you feel you got your money's worth. I would do either one of the the tours again, but I am hoping maybe there will be another neighborhood to explore in the future. I have recommended this activity to many others. Our "host" was Carrie. She was so knowledgeable and what a fun girl!
A fun and "full" afternoon! Bucktown/Wicker Park Food Tasting & Cultural Tour
Thu, Aug 13 12:00 PM	mddavies	Female	40-49	Local	Family With Children
I was under the impression that we would be given small samples at each location, but it was a lot more food than I expected. The iced chocolate drink served at "Hot Chocolate" restaurant was to die for and an almost unanimous favorite among our group. Get to know your Chicago neighborhoods on this fun and friendly tour!

This was better than i expected. We had a wonderful guide, Nicki, who was so enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and really made the experience worthwhile. There were 4 of us and we loved the opportunity to meet others from different parts of the country as well as out of the country. I would highly recommend this event and hope to take part in the other food tours that are offered.
Fun afternoon! Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour

This trip was a great outing. Our guide was knowledgeable and fun, and our group liked all the stops on the tour. It was more than a sample of food all put together--we didn't have to eat lunch or dinner. The walk was close to 2 miles, but an easy pace. I'd recommend this for any adults.
Loved it!! Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour

I was skeptical about whether this tour would be worth the price even after reading the rave reviews. But after deciding to go ahead with it anyway I can tell you that my husband and I loved it and highly recommend it. And we thought Caroline, our tour guide, was excellent. A couple of tips for you: I highly recommend going on the tour specifically if you are staying in this area and can enjoy the places again and make use of the information you learn. We felt like we belonged more than like tourists but we stayed in this neighborhood and visited the places along the tour several times later in our stay. If you have to travel from across town then you might not get all the benefits of the tour. Do this first on your trip. It will greatly help you later. Worried about the cost? Again, if you are staying in the area and make use of all the great coupons you get then you can easily recoup a lot of your costs. Here's what we calculated: -- Tour for 2 people: $80 -- Cost of food you eat on the tour: @ $26 for two people (makes the tour itself around $50 - 55) -- Amount we saved using the coupons: $8 for our 2 free cups of tea, $26 in discounts buying two miracle tea makers, $3 in discounts at the spice shop, $20 at a buy one, get one free dinner, $3 at the chocolate shop and 2 free chocolate covered and strawberries, $8 free cigar = $68. And we were only there for 3 days!! We could have saved another $50 at restaurants and shows had we been there longer. My husband's favorite part of the tour was also the discounted flight of beer ($3 for 3 types equalling over a pint of beer) at the last place....) So if you like beer leave an extra 30 minutes of time at the end to do that after the tour is over. Overall we thought it was great. We only live an hour from the city and plan to stay in Bucktown and take their other tour on our next vacation b/c we liked it so much!!
LOVED IT Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour

My husband and I loved this tour, so much so, that we can't wait to take the Bucktown Tour next. Not only was it very informative and tasty, but we met very interesting people in our group. Our guide, Caroline was wonderful and very 'perky'. Even though the weather was HOT, she kept things lively. I would highly recomment this tour to anyone, even if you've lived in the area for awhile. We learned so many things about the neighborhood that we hadn't known before and now we have new places to eat the next time we're in Chicago!
Well organized, fun, unique and a great guide Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour

I thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour and highly recommend it. I took my 17 year old and his girlfriend, they enjoyed it too but not as much as I did. Our guide was excellent! very knowledgeable, enthusiastic but not overly so and made it a great experience. The "locally owned" unique shops were a real plus. The history/architecture of the neighborhoods was interesting. I will do this again in another city!

I think it was a very good tour but I would take off the Catering place off the tour I along with others in the group thought that was a waste of time to go there. I also thought that people in the group would have like to spend a little more time in the spice store instead of outside.The demo by our guide about cinnamon was also a waste of time and way too long with 90 degree temperatures. The pizza place was too far for some to walk and it wasn't worth it when we got there, it was just okay pizza. I thought the place was dirty and had terrible service. I can't believe that the pizza ovens and the counter where they make them are right by the door with no protection!!! Can't believe that is not a Health dept. violation... I also think that you should put more places to eat at on the tour. Perhaps swap out the catering place with Adobo grill or the Irish Pub in Old Town.
