| We had a great time! Weather was beautiful and 16 of us walked through the Bucktown and Wicker Park neighborhoods stopping at six places for wonderful foods. I've lived in the Chicago area for all my life and never knew there was a foodie walking tour. Went to a similar tour in NYC (Greenwich Village/Soho) and experienced a wonderful time. Thing is, we only went to one establishment where we actually sat and ate the food...most of the time, we ate our small offerings outside and listened to our tourguide. However, in Chicago, we actually sat in a pre-determined area at every restaurant which I thought was much nicer, eating a typical Chicago style hotdog; had iced "hot chocolate" drink with a homemade marshmellow at Hot Chocolate; a slice of pizza with a small tasting portion of beer (also good); a fantastic falafel with the best hummus I've ever tasted; a small pasta cup from Goddess Grocer (was okay, but loved to have a deli like this closer to the NW suburbs!) and finally, my absolute favorite: iCream where we all had a small cup of icecream whipped up from nitrogen! All in all, we had a fantastic time and our tour guide, Jess(?) was fantastic! By the way, we were stuffed! Had to bag the last sandwich (falafel) for a late supper...couldn't eat anymore despite walking for nearly 3 hours. Will do it again! | ||||||

| We got lost on our way to venue. The CTA was rerouting and we were a mile south in a scary neighborhood! That scared us but when we got to the place, we sure were relieved.. Anyway, the trip was freakin fabulous, delicious, and fun fun fun!! Our tour guide Jess (i think, i kinda forgot her name) was very very very good with everything!!! She is like a walking tripadvisor.com or something. The places we went to was like taking a 5 course meal: appetizer( georges hotdog), drinks(hot chocolate), salad (goddess), main course (filafel), and dessert (iCream). The hotdog was delicious! You have to try a chicago style hotdog sold on the streets before you try georges hotdog in order to appreciate it though so you can taste the difference and the texture. The hot chocolate with home made marshmallow was yum yum yummmm!!! Too bad i wasnt able to go back to get another round. On the Goddess, we sampled a antipasti but it was the chocolate covered bacon that got me interested. The filafel? It sure is in my list of favorite food from now on!! For the finale, iCream certainly was the best. Ice cream theatrics, ice cream made with liquid nitrogen! How cool is that?! Oh yeah, we also had a little architectural/cultural tour around the neighborhood and it was a nice surprise. Very informative and makes you appreciate the home values in the area. I love the whole trip very much!!! I going back someday and perhaps try the other trip, the one in the north side i think.. Thank you for the fabulous trip!!!! | ||||||

Entertaining tour and good food tastings

| Nine women took the tour. We are native Chicagoans and learned a lot of new things about our City. Our guide was very interesting and friendly. We toured seven very different shops throughout three or four different neighborhoods. We all enjoyed the tour so much that we told the doorman at our hotel to recommend it to tourists. Because we are from Chicago we are planning to revisit several shops. We would give the tour six stars if we could! Definitely recommend it for tourists and native Chicagoans alike. | ||||||

| This tour was fun, educational and just an overall great way to spend the day. Our tour guide was very well informed and delightful. Also, this is a fantastic way to learn more about Chicago and visit establishments you may not necessarily visit on your own! Sign up for this tour you will not regret it!!! | ||||||

| Great tour guide (Nikki) and delightful stops along the tour. The FudgePot was the weak link with no owner interaction (almost felt like we were in the way). We will highly recommend this to any friends that will be visiting the windy city! | ||||||

| Having visited downtown Chicago before, we wanted to try to explore other neighborhoods, so this tour was the perfect outing. Ben, our tour guide, was very enthusiastic and friendly with the group, giving us great tidbits and comments on the history of the neighborhood and architecture. Definitely a must...and ask for BEN! | ||||||

| Our guide, Caroline (I think that was her name--sorry!), was very friendly and enthusiastic. I have a few dietary restrictions and she discreetly catered to them when possible. I thought that all of the stops were very informative--especially the tea and spice stops. One suggestion would be to stop somewhere else besides Catering and Chocolate. No one from the shop spoke to us about the shop or business and while everything there looked nice, it didn't really add anything to the tour because there wasn't any personal connection like in all of the other shops. Perhaps stop at the bakery going in next door instead? Also, as a native, I Iearned a thing or two about some Chicago history (like, I finally know where the Playboy mansion was, the origin of the Second City moniker). I would recommend this tour to locals and tourists alike. | ||||||

| We were a part of the Sept. 19 11:30a.m. tour with Jessie as our guide. We could not have asked for a nicer, more informed, personable guide. Very articulate and knowledgeable and enthusiastic about her subject. All four in our group are lifelong Chicago-area residents and we learned a lot! A couple of suggestions. There should be more food offered on the tour. While eating a substantial amount at every stop wouldn't be feasible or recommended, perhaps one of the stops in the middle of the tour could offer a bit more. Also, I think the group would have enjoyed receiving a "Food Planet" chocolate bar at the Fudge Pot stop. Our group was under the impression that that was why our guide made a point of showing us the Food Planet mold. One last thing, any chance a taste of liquor could be included? I don't think a taste of beer or wine would do any harm. Finally, please choose a different pizza as an example of Chicago pizza! We were very disappointed with Bacino's. I'd hate to think that visitors to Chicago would go away thinking Bacino's was representative of good Chicago pizza. Overall, we had a great time. I would definitely recommend this activity to others. Thank you. | ||||||

| Our tour was excellent and our tour guide was exceptional. Our group would absolutely do this type of event again either in Chicago or another city. We had 7 stops/tastings along the way. The last stop for Chicago pizza seemed like it was a long way to walk. Our group felt that it would have been better to be located closer to the other stopping points. It would be very beneficial to both the attendees and the shop owners to be able to purchase items at the time that we are in their shop. There were several things that we as a group would have liked to have purchased but didn't have the time to go back after our tour was completed. I would rather add another 45 minutes to the tour to allow for purchases to be made. Over all - 10 out of 10. | ||||||

| We have taken the other food tour twice and loved it. The food on this tour was fantastic! It seemed as though our guide spoke from memory and felt canned. On previous tours the guides felt less canned and more off the cuff. | ||||||

| For someone who just moved to chicago, our guide was enthusiastic and displayed his love for food and Chicago. Though we had already been to Hot chocolate previously, the other food places were great to learn about and dine in. Definitely would recommend this tour and will sign up for the other one as well | ||||||
