Take this food tour!

My husband and I both agree that the North Chicago food tour was the highlight of our trip to Chicago! Our only regret is that we didn't have time to take the other food tour.

A great way to taste your way through Chicago!

My husband and I took the Near North tour Sept. 6 as part of an anniversary trip to Chicago. We both loved every stop -- there's definitely something for everyone. In addition to the great food, we walked through three Chicago neighborhoods we wouldn't have otherwise experienced. Our guide Jen was great to tell us not only about the restaurants and shops we visited, but about the sights we passed and the history of Chicago. Great tour, and great food!

unique feel for Chicago food and neighborhoods

Loved our guide, Jennifer, who was both informative and entertaining. I had always heard about what a great food town that Chicago was, but would not have really known if we had not taken this tour! The variety of shops and restaurants was excellent and the tour of local neighborhoods on foot gave us a unique perspective. Looking forward to our next visit and another area.

Overall, I thought this was a great tour
Sun, Sep 6  11:00 AM Mamabear Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
We went on a Sunday, which turned out to be a great time because there wasn't a lot of traffic or other shoppers in the places we were visiting. Jennifer was our tour guide and she was AWESOME!! I highly recommend her. Very upbeat, positive, and genuinely enjoyed her job, which is refreshing. I liked all the places we visited. The deli sandwich was delicious, the tea was good and I enjoyed learning about all of the spices and oils. The toffee we had at the Fudge Pot was a definite highlight. We also enjoyed the pizza at the end. Our walks through the different neighborhoods was very interesting because we probably wouldn't have known about those neighborhoods had we not gone on the tour. My only recommendation would be to take out the catering-chocolate part of the tour. It was extremely crowded in there and the person working behind the counter was not friendly (actually had a scowl on his face). It would be nice if some of these places had a set up where we could "sit and eat" like at the pizza place at the end. All in all, very fun and informative. Jennifer was a great tour guide and we learned a lot!!

Great tour guide on Sat 09/5/2009
Sat, Sep 5  1:00 PM tharmon9 Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
This was recommended by trip advisor and as always was a home run. The tour guide was very informative and engaging. You won't gain weight on this tour because there is a lot of walking. You will not get full on the tour, the food is more like tastings. And a lot of the tour was to a spice shop and an oil shop with no food at all. But there were great products and very unique items I had never seen before. So there are plenty of shopping opportunities. The tour is a great way to visit a side of Chicago many visitors rarely get to see(Gold Coast). I highly recommend it for visitors and locals alike. Also, the folks on the tour were great. We had some funny folks that kept me laughing. Don't miss on seeing the 25 million dollar house near Oz park. The house is so big it looks like a school. By the way there is a Mexican restaurant that is not a part of the tour, but the food looks great, they make the guacamole' fresh at your table. Plan on eating there!

Makes you want to move to Chicago!!!

First, we couldn't have gotten a better guide, Shane. He was very informative and had the right sense for humor. He is a keeper. Second, the tour was fantastic. My wife and I learned thing about tea, spices and oils that we never knew. My wife was thrilled with the garlic olive oil, will be ordering via the web. The other aspect of the tour was totally unexpected. The neighorhoods we walked through were absolutely wonderful. The architecture was interesting and the neighorhoods looked like the kind of place that we would like to live in. Between the food and homes you get to see a side of Chicago that is impossible to experience by any other means.

Tasty Tour!

Eat, learn and walk off the calories--all at the same time! We loved the combination of history, architecture and great foods to eat. A "must do" for locals and visitors alike.

A very enjoyable experience

As busy professionals, my fiance' and I often don't get out that much to enjoy the rich diversity of Chicago. This food tour, suggested and booked by friends visiting from outside Chicago, was really a wonderful opportunity to learn about one such diverse neighborhood. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, seemed quite concerned and interested in those whom he was guiding, and provided a nice pace for the day. All the featured restaurants were eye-opening, unique, and quite memorable; I would certainly revisit them all. I especially liked the attached list of "highlighted restaurants," not covered by the actual tour, but recommended in the future. This historical sites were all very interesting. All in all, a great experience that I would recommend to any of my friends and family.

Best experience --- Ever!
Sat, Sep 5  12:30 PM mfrazier Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
Ok, so Kent was our tour guide and he was just awesome. Very enthusiastic and fun. The food... well, it was incredible. I'm not talking about little samples that at the end of the tour you have to go out and find something to satisfy your still lingering hunger but considerable portions - sometimes even FULL portions. No joke. I loved it. About midway we just kind of toured the neighborhood. The information on the area was appreciated. I actually liked this area better than downtown Chicago. Food recommendations for nearby establishments was a plus and coupons for the shops that we were visiting on the tour really beckoned for us to come back later in our trip... and we did. I had to pack one of the tastings to go because I was so full. The food is SO good and some of it was very unique. Don't hesitate to take this tour. I'm already planning on taking the North tour. Book early -- fills up fast!

Our Chicago Near North End tour was one of the highlights of our 2009 Labor Day weekend to Chicago. Nicki, our guide, was informative and pleasant; she knew the area and paced the walking tour, which was made up of people from ages 15-77, for everyone involved. Each stop was better than the last and each tasting was marvelous. Obviously, the shopkeepers and the tour company have built solid relationships because the businesses on the tour take time for their guests and freely answer questions and share their experiences. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who enjoys walking, informative, out-of-the-way locales and tasty food choices.

Our tour leader was Jess. She was very knowledgable and friendly. Had plenty of enthusiasm and was able to remember most of the people in the group. Had lots of food and learned about the Bucktown/Wicker Park area. Planning to return there this weekend for the art festival. Hopefully will be able to go on the North food tour this Sunday. Beautiful weather, fun group, good food - I would recommend this tour to anyone!! Loved it.
