This was one of the best tours I've been on. Not only did we try great foods, but also visited neighborhoods that we wouldn't have ventured to on our own. Along with each tasting, was a discussion on how or why these foods were made/used. We found the oil shop and tea shop to be tremendously educational. And of course, the pizza was amazing.

Great tour, even though it rained all day. I would have liked 1-2 more food stops, though the history/architecture was good.

A fun foodie activity

A really fun tour. we were a group of cowrokers from the midwest in Chicago for work. This activity fit the bill for providing an activity that was a different and yet appealed to everyone. Who doesnt love food right? Kent was a fantastic guide who knows his stuff and obviously cares about the food he eats. The food you try is fantastic. The sampling is genereous, you wont leave hungry. I also loved the tour of the neightborhood made me want to visit again. Overall highly reccommended.

Everything was great about the tour with the exception of the weather. We loved all the stops and our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It was a nice change from most tours and you got to eat some great food !!! I will definitely take the other tour on my next visit to Chicago.

Even though it rained, we loved being introduced to the neighborhoods and enjoyed Nicky's architectural commentary. Nicky was also well informed in each of the shops and gave interesting culinary presentations. We learned alot and were treated well from the various businesses we visited. Looking forward to the Bucktown and Wicker Park tour on our next trip to Chicago. Book early..we got the last two spots on the tour 10 days before our visit.

Fantastic!

We came to Chicago for my husband to run the marathon and a family vacation. Based on prior reviews I saw it was recommended to take the tour when you first arrive and I'm so glad we did. We did the North tour and Jen was our guide, phenomenal! Our kids, 10 and 17 enjoyed the tour as much as we did, even in the chilly rainy weather. Jen's vast knowledge of the area, history and architecture was such a nice addition, she truly kept us interested the entire 3 hour trip! We are total foodies and loved the selection of places on the tour. We went back and purchased many items from the tea, oil, spice and fudge shops. Jen also helped us with other dining recommendations as we didn't want to eat at chain restaurants and prefer to eat with the locals. We had dinner at Adoba the night before the marathon (normally eat pasta before but decided to change it up a bit and go Mexican), excellent table side guacamole, food and margaritas! Also, after every race my husband craves a good burger, so she told us about Hamburger Mary's, honestly the best burger I've ever eaten! IF, we had not done the food tour, we would have been stuck on touristy Michigan Ave for 5 days, and wouldn't have known what lie just outside the loop and shopping areas. We figured out the El and busses rather quickly and off we went. Even having 5 days we ran out of time for all the things we wanted to do, we definitely would have done the Wicker Park/Bucktown food tour and we didn't see The Bean! We did have rain 3 days of our 5 day vacation, but we made the most of it, we all had our own umbrellas and rain ponchos! All in all, Chicago is the bomb and we all agreed we would love to go back around Christmas time to see everything decorated and to shop! We will definitely do the other food tour! We shout out a big thanks to Jen!

Best Tour in Chicago!!!
Thu, Oct 8, 09   11:30 AM richardgo Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
We wished we would have done this tour the moment we landed. It was very informative and the food was not only authentic but AMAZING!!! Our tour guide Kent was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The food was the best. There was a lot of food. From the Chicago hot dog at Mike's, the falafel from The Sultan, and the best part was ice cream from Icream (that lady is a genius). We were so full by the end of tour. We forced ourselves to go back to Wicker Park for dinner at the Silver Cloud, which of course was delicious. I recommend the White Trash Nachos and the Pot Pie. I wasn't too impress with Chicago the first time we went, but after taking this tour it gave me a whole new appreciation for this wonderful town. Even during the rain. We will definetly look for this type of tour in all our travels. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS...YOU MUST DO IT...

Highlight of my trip to Chicago
Thu, Oct 8, 09   11:00 AM GailMc Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Of all the things I did in our four day trip to Chicago, this was the best! I thoroughly enjoyed getting away from the hotel area and into the real neighborhoods of Chicago. The choice of shops we visited was good, but what really made the tour was our guide, Jen. Her knowledge of not only the shops and the food, but the homes and history of the neighborhoods was excellent. I'd highly recommend this tour!

Fabulous, fun and informational!
Thu, Oct 8, 09   11:00 AM PatriceFT Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
I was in Chicago with my husband - who was attending a legal conference, therefore, while he was in meetings, I wanted to do something besides just shopping. I do love to cook, so that is why I chose this tour, because of the blend of places that we visited. The mix of shops was perfect and I did go back to 3 of the places and made purchases. Our tour guide was Jen and she was great - very engaging and full of facts and knowledge about Chicago history. It did rain almost the whole tour, but we were having such a great time that I don't think anyone minded - just be sure to take an umbrella and raincoat if rain is in the forecast! I would definitely take the other tour the next time I come to Chicago - but I can't imagine that it could top this one.

Great tour!

My sisters and I took the tour and all three of us loved it. Our guide, Jenny, was great, full of information on the Gold Coast. The tour lasted a little over three hours, but the time flew. Don't eat much before you go, you'll get a lot to eat!

Had a wonderful guide who showed us the area and gave many good details about its history and current info. The restaurants were really wonderful. We all enjoyed this outing very much. I was really impressed as to how the neighborhood has come back.

Enjoyable Afternoon with friends

The leader of the tour was friendly and very knowledgable about his material. The fact that the group was largely local did not put him off his game. The food choices were very good with the exception of Goddess & Grocer ( a different sample should be chosen). All in all an enjoyable afternoon with friends.
