Enjoyed our day
Fri, Nov 14, 08   11:00 AM Ardith Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
We started out our tour in a sprinkling of rain which shortly let up and we just kept on trucking through the sidewalks of Chicago. I enjoyed the food part, the cultural part and our tour leaders knowledge. We spread the news of our tour to our bus group and I feel some of them will be there next year when we come to town again. We plan on taking the Bucktown tour then ourselves.

Taste of Chicago

Kent was a great tour guide. In 3 hours, I got to taste a Chicago hotdog (and learn what makes it a Chicago hotdog), thin crust pizza, delicious and smooth hot chocolate with a homemade marshmallow, super granola and 2 wonderful pieces of chocolate truffle. mmmmgood. Oh, yes, I did enjoy the history of Bucktown and Wicker Park. Definitely recommend this tour.

Interesting experience

Spices, oil, and tea--the highlights of the tour. We could have done without chocolate repetitions (even though we did not have chocolate in each place). Emily was charming, positive, and socially skilled. She presented interesting tidbits.

Six Out of Ten

The Bucktown/Wicker Park food tour left something to be desired. The food aspect was okay but the cultural information provided was superficial and lacking detail. We were hoping to find out more Chicago history and perhaps some unusual stories that a tour guide's more personal perspective might provide. Another gentleman in our group had been on the original tour and said it was preferable to this one.

Outstanding and Unique
Fri, Oct 24, 08   11:00 AM BevWilliams Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
This was a wonderful experience for my husband and me. We had been to Chicago before to see the usual sights and wanted something personal and different. Our group of 14 was diverse, yet everyone loved the tour. The guide, Jennifer, was knowledgeable, fun and made each individual feel welcome. The tour even ran overtime because of all the interest our group showed in the sights. If you want to see three different neighborhoods, a number of unique shops and restaurants, sample great food, see diverse architecture, learn some interesting history and spend a fun 3 to 4 hours exploring Chicago's north side, do not miss this tour. We can't wait until we can return to take their new tour.

Our 2nd time around!
Thu, Oct 23, 08   11:30 AM peckle Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
My husband and I have taken both of the food tours offered in Chicago....both were great fun plus we learned about Chicago neighborhoods as we munched and sipped some good food. The guides are fun and knowledgeable. It's always a plus when you get to interact with the restaurant owners. There was more of that on the North Chicago tour.

A GREAT TIME THAT EXTENDED AFTER THE DESERT
Thu, Oct 23, 08   11:00 AM STEPHENSMITH Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
A WONDERFUL GROUP OF PEOPLE, AND ALL AGES WHO GOT ALONG AND WENT TO THE TOP OF THE JOHN HANCOCK BLDG AFTERWARDS AND HAD A GOOD TIME TALKING. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS EXCURISON, AS THE FOOD WAS VERY GOOD, THE DESERTS WERE TO DIE FOR AS WAS THE COMPANIONSHIP.

A fun way to get some exercise and knowledge

My wife and I celebrated our birthdays with a two-day visit to Chicago -- a place we haven't visited for several years. Discovered the Food Tasting Tour during an internet search to plan our visit. We were blessed with perfect weather and a good tour guide. We went back to three of the tour destinations to make purchases. -- the tea, oil and fudge shops. All shops and the architectural descriptions were interesting. Wish we could have had a sip of a different tea with each food tasting. Next time we go to Chicago, we will check for new tour destinations. Suggestions: We were lucky to find parking right next to tour starting place. It would have helped if a better description of parking choices was included with map and instructions when purchasing tickets. Also, I was surprised the tour ended far from the starting point. Please consider returning as a group to the start location. We used a taxi to return because the time required to walk conflicted with our other plans. Maybe I misunderstood the duration of the tour, but it lasted longer than expected -- but I'm not complaining.

Our tour leader was outstanding. She was cheerful, helpful, and provided excellent insight of the area. I would highly recommend the tour to anyone. The spots that we stopped at were great and the store employees were very helpful.

These folks are outstanding. The tour had only one slot left,l but after sending an email they made sure my wife could join the same tour. The guide new her stuff and was very outgoing. The stops in the various eateries were well chosen and executed. We loved some so much we went back to buy some exellent items (food). Hans Schoenenberger

Great event

We took the Near North Food Tasting Walking Tour on Saturday October 18th at 12:30. Our guide was fantastic and we really enjoyed the places on the tour. Of course the food was fantastic, from the potato pancakes to the chocolates and pizza. The stops at the spice house and the oil and vinegar store were great! Not the usual venue and so appreciated. Very personable young lady guiding us and she seemed to enjoy this as much as we did.

Entertaining and educational
Sat, Oct 18, 08   11:30 AM smaggi Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
We really enjoyed the walking tour and the various tastings. The places we visited were unique with quality products. They are places I probably would not have entered if it were not for the tour. I will be sure to stop by or order online now that I know how good they are. The information shared about the neighborhoods was also very interesting. Our guide did a great job. I highly recommend this tour to visitors and to Chicago natives!

Great and informative
Wed, Oct 15, 08   11:00 AM edsternlieb Male 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
The guide was wonderful and it was interesting to see the different neighborhoods. I was disappointed that the pizza stop only had spinach pizza since I do not eat spinach. It would it have been helpful if the guide asked in the beginning if anyone would prefer plain pizza and then call ahead to make it happen. The pizza restaurant did not even have slices of plain pizza available.
