Chicago Food Planet Food Tours

Not only did we taste a fun variety of foods and beverages, we learned lots of great details about the Chicago neighborhoods we toured and Chicago in general. Food, history, culture all received excellent attention. Our guide, Jennifer, was very skilled and forthcoming with any info we asked of her. This tour was one of our first choices when we were planning our Chicago vacation, and it definitely was worthy of being on our itinerary. Foodies and culinary types will love this tour too.

I enjoyed my Near North food tour so much! Our tour guide was so friendly and knowledgable on all things related to the food we tasted and the neighborhoods we walked through. It gave me a chance to not only try different foods but to see different parts of Chicago I may not have had a chance to experience. I had a wonderful time and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Chicago!

Our tour person Jes , was enthusiastic ,informative about the areas, and fun

I thought this was a great activity. I don't live too far from Chicago and the restaurants change so often, this was a great way to explore them while also learning more about the history of the Chicago villages.

My family and I had a great time, 3 of us were born and raised in chicago but during that time you would not go into the wicker part area Seeing all of the changes and having a tour was a lot of fun Kent is a great tour guide who knows how to make everyone feel welcome and is very knowledgeable of the area. The food was also enjyoable and we all left very full.

Our group was diverse in cultures, ages, and fitness levels, but everyone kept up and had a great time. Caroline was great. Spunky and interesting. The food amazing. I'd love some right now.

The tour was great, it is highly recommended. Nikki (Tour Guide) was very informative regarding Chicago and the neighborhoods. We would definitely do it again on our next visit to this great city. Mr/Mrs. Wm Heffernan Clinton, NJ

I was impressed with the guide, I really liked her. She was very informative and showed that she really loved to show people her city. I have been on several foodie tours in other cities (Boston, Ann Arbor, etc) and thought this one was excellent.

Good food, great tour. We learned about the Chicago neighborhoods, buildings, and of course, great places to eat. I impressed my Chicago friends (I am from San Francisco) with my knowledge of local eateries that they did not know about. This tour is worth every penny.

This was a great activity that I would recommend for anyone! We live in Chicago and had family in from out of town. This was the perfect way to experience some unique Chicago food, as well as a beautiful walk through the city. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable on both the food, architecture, and history of the city. We will definitely be back!

I've lived in the Chicago northwest suburbs for eleven years. I've brought tourists to the city at least twice a year but have never gone on this unique tour until last September. Had it not been for my sleepless nights with my newborn baby, I wouldn't have found it featured on the late night show "190 North". I couldn't have picked a better tour for my foodie mother who came all the way from Asia. It was a food tour, architectural tour, and a neighborhood tour all rolled into one. We particularly enjoyed the spice & herb specialty shop and the oil and vinegar store. I only wish they had allowed the group to shop for at least five minutes on each stop. It was really inconvenient to go back, plus we were a bit poofed after walking for three hours. I'm already planning to go to the Bucktown tour with my husband next year.

My husband and I were only in Chicago over the weekend and were looking for unique ways to experience the neighborhoods. We LOVED the food tour!! Jesse our guide was a pleasure. She was entertaining, enthusiastic and informative. We enjoyed the tastings espeacially Old Town Oils. If you enjoy food, and like to experience cities and not just visit them, definately take the Food Planet Walking Tour!!

My daughter and I had a wonderful time. All the stops were great and so entertaining. We learned a lot about the city as well as the food, were introduced to new experiences like tea, and spices. Our guide was very nice and upbeat, she made the day lots of fun.

Everything was great. I would have paid a bit more, given the lunch places were better, and with better food. Also I would wish tour was not as lengthy. half hour less would be great.

I liked how the tour took us to places that didn't sound all that appetizing for me as a non-foodie (e.g., oil & vinegar place), but it turned out to be fabulous! I would recommend scheduling time after the tour to walk back along the route so you can buy all the yummy things you tasted. Only so-so tasting was the catering-chocolate shop. Rest were pretty great :)
