| We really enjoyed Kent. It was clear he knew his neighborhood and his food. The tour came highly recommended by a friend who did it last month, and it was a hit with us. It got us to a part of town we would not otherwise have seen. | ||||||

A Rich Experience on the Gold Coast

| A wonderful experience exploring the Gold Coast, Old Town and Lincoln Park. Our guide, Nikki, was informed, friendly and knowledgable about the area. We enjoyed the various tastes and flavours from the rueben sandwich at the deli in the Gold Coast to the Spices, Olive Oils and Chocolates of Old Town to the Stuffed Pizza in Lincoln Park. All of which were delicious. We learned much about the history and architecture of the area. We had an interactive and friendly group which made the difference. After the tour, we went back to the back to a couple of the food places on our tour a return visit. The tour was a fun and interesting way to learn more about Chicago and highly recommend it. | ||||||

| Our enthusiastic tour guide was interesting and informative...she worked very hard to engage everyone in our diverse group...the food science and architectural info added a welcome dimension to the tour...Suggestion: the Jewish deli would have been better if we had sampled items such as knishes, blintzes, etc. rather than the Reuben sandwich (which wasn't anything special). | ||||||

An absolutely fantastic experience

| I have raved nonstop about this tour since we took it. Jessie, our guide, was knowledgeable and personable. She did an excellent job. Obviously the food was a highlight, but we also enjoyed learning more about Chicago's history and architecture. We particularly appreciated the opportunity to meander through some of the neighborhoods and get a more intimate experience of the city. I found myself taking pictures like crazy and making plans to retrace my steps to grab some shots I missed. The merchants at the various stops were extremely helpful and patient. Nearly everyone in our group thought the oil shop was a favorite, and the staff gave us great suggestions for oil/vinegar combinations to try. I also appreciated learning about the teas and spices. And who didn’t love the huge slabs of chocolate-covered toffee? Because of scheduling issues, we had to leave as soon as the tour was done. This was a big disappointment because we wanted to purchase items from the stores and restaurants we visited. Fortunately, we are planning another trip to Chicago next month, and we will make a beeline for these merchants. Family and friends will be thrilled to find unique and tasty gifts from us this holiday season. We are from Michigan and we went on this tour with friends from Nebraska. We plan on making a trip to meet in Chicago an annual tradition, and a Chicago Food Planet tour will definitely be on our itinerary. | ||||||

| the food tour was a nice combination of walking, food tasting and interesting facts about the local architecture. i wouldn't say any of the food was authentic "chicago" food, but i learned something about the food at each stop. all in all it was a very pleasant way to spend a beautiful fall afternoon. | ||||||

Caroline was great

| My husband and I and another couple friend participated in the Near North Food and Cultural Tour on November 7 (to celebrate my birthday). We had a great time, and our docent, Caroline was awesome. She clearly loves doing this and for only living in Chicago a short time, she is very knowledgeable on Chicago history and architecture. My only complaint is that in the advertisement for the tour it mentions bringing along extra money to buy items from the various stops (for example, the Spice House, Old Towne Oil). At the beginning of the tour, Caroline requested that we didn't do any shopping since our group was too large and if everyone shopped then the tour wouldn't stay on schedule. My friend and I did end up buying a few things at The Spice House and Old Town Oil because we don't live in the Chicago area and we were not going to have time to go back to those locations when the tour ended. My recommendation is to limit the number of participants so that people can shop. I know there were several in our group who wanted to shop and didn't b/c of Carolines, request. We shopped quickly, but would have liked more time. | ||||||

| This is the 2nd time I've been on this tour this year. My out-of-town sister was visiting and wanted to go on this tour as she has been on the north side tour twice, but not this one. We took along our 84 year mother. We all loved it! The beautiful fall day made for perfect walking weather, and it wasn't too much for our mother either. The food was GREAT! | ||||||

Best way to see Chicago

| Our guide, Ariela, was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Knew so much about her great city - more than just a job. This is a must do in Chicago, not just for the food but the information about the neighborhoods, architecture and what to do while you're there. Do this early on in your trip so you can go back and visit the neighborhoods and restaurants! | ||||||

An Exciting New Look at a Familiar Neighborhood

| Wed, Oct 28 11:30 AM | ehaydock | Female | 50-59 | Local | Group of Friends | |
| I've been going to Bucktown/Wicker Park for shopping, art festivals, dining, etc. for years - but mostly to the same tried and true places. The tour took me to places I might not have tried - and which I fell in love with (and dragged my husband back to the following day!). Not only did I 'discover' some new restaurants and some great new flavors (along with some stellar architecture and history!), but I also 'discovered' some new shops. I ended up staying 3 hours after the tour was over and did my part to stimulate the economy! I HIGHLY recommend this tour to anyone who likes to eat and who lives in a building! (Seriously, I had high expectations based on an article I'd read in Chicago magazine, but the tour surpassed those expectations by a long shot! I LOVED it!) | ||||||
