| The tour was better than expected. It was nice to be out of downtown Chicago for a day and experience some local culture. The Bucktown/Wicker Park area has a lot of charm and the history of the area is quite interesting. The length of the tour is perfect and takes you to places you might not otherwise go when visiting Chicago. Our tour guide Kent was great too, he made the tour interesting and exciting. Having lived in the area, you knew you were getting some first hand knowledge from a local and not some tourguide that picked up his information from a company handbook. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to fill up a day with a fun activity. | ||||||

Good concept but could be better

| The idea of mixing classical tourist tour with food tasting is a good idea. But the historic/architecture explanations were quite poor, and the tasting (in particular the pizza at the end) not really fantastic. | ||||||

| I had been to Chicago many times over the years for business and really didn't like the town, becuase I went to typical business/trade show activities/locations. This really helped me see the side of Chicago everyone loves. The larger food portions were at the end of the tour, and I think it would have been better at the start. | ||||||

Spectacular Tour

| This tour is great for a foodie or anyone who wants to learn more about the neighborhoods of Chicago. This tour walked through the Gold Coast, Old Town (home of Second City), and Lincoln Park. Not only did we get to enjoy the local flavor, but we also got to learn about the neighborhoods, the history, and the architecture. | ||||||

A fun and educational tour

| 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! | ||||||

"Food Tasting" Tour Does Not Live Up to Name
|
|||||
| Sat, May 9 12:30 PM | Putt4dough | Male | 50-59 | Domestic Tourist(s) | Family With Children | |
| We were expecting a tasting tour and were very disappointed. Started off with 1/2 a potato pancake at noon and didn't taste anything of consequence until a piece of pizza at 3:30 PM. In the interim "tasted" oils and balsamic vinegar, spices, tea, a cube of cheese and hummus on one cracker and a bite of chocolate. Tour guests joked among themselves as to the frugal nature of the tastings. Very poor value for $40 per person. Guides were excellent. Very lively and knowledgeable of the walking areas. Too bad that they were burdened by the poorly conceived "tastings". This tour could be something great if someone would put some effort into the food content. I do not recommend this tour. | ||||||

| We've been to Chicago many times but for the most part stayed in the downtown/Lincoln Park area. If you want to venture out and see a different part of Chicago, this tour is for you. Our guide was extremely knowledgable and well spoken. I can not think of one thing that I did not like. Next time we're in Chicago, we're going to do the other tour. My only advise is to come hungery! We ate an entire Chicago style hotdog, a huge slice of pizza, a cup of very strong hot chocolate, homemade Granola, pickled beets, 2 chocolate truffles, and ice cream. | ||||||

| Our tour guide was amazing! We learned so much more than just information about great food in Chicago. We also learned some awesome historical facts and about some interesting architecture tidbits. The food tasting was also fantastic. My favorite was The Fudge Pot. Amazing! | ||||||

| I've been to Chicago and as a tourist gravitate to the typical tourist spots. As someone who loves to eat, this was a good mix of the two. Great pace and tourguide was very very helpful, accomodating, and full of life. | ||||||

A VERY Pleasant Surprise !!!

| All and all I have to recommend this tour to anyone of any age who wants to truly experience the local Chicago culture that you are usually not aware exists when taking in the sites of the city. It gives you a peek and a taste of what makes Chicago the melting pot that it is. At the end of the tour some three hours and three miles in length you will wonder where the time and distance have gone, and wish that it were in fact much longer. Our guide Jenniffer was personable, knowledgeable of local lore, passionate, funny, and had a distiguishable laugh that sounded like only one person I had ever met. She was not only a guide, but at times also felt like a friend !!! Jenniffer definitely helped to make the tour the VERY pleasant surprise that it was. She is a true professional !!! Now to the food, I wouldn't say you're stuffed by the end, but you're not hungry either, It's a happy medium. We made seven stops to local establishments/eateries, three were excellent (Tea Gschwendner, Old Town Oil, The Fudge Pot), one was good (Bacino's Pizza), two were mediocre (The Spice House, Catering Chocolate) and one was lame(Ashkenaz Deli). The difference between them being what was offered to taste/experience and how it was presented. A few tweaks are in order by the powers that be !!! It seemed as if the food was geared torward an individual who was a vegetarian, meaning no meat products were offered for tasting. I feel this decision should be reviewed as it is sacrilegious to visit a Jewish deli and not savor some pastrami/corn beef !!! At the very least make it an option. :o) To sum it up I'd say this is a "must to do" when visiting the Windy City. The $42.00 price is fair, you get your money's worth no doubt !!! I highly recommend it to any person who enjoy's learning and noshing at the same time. My rating = * * * * * Enjoy !!! Russ T. , Smithtown, New York | ||||||

| 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! | ||||||
