Bucktown/Wicker Park Food Tour Review
Tue, Aug 25  12:00 PM wongkat Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
This was a great tour. I rarely do tours as I normally would research places I visit and explore on my own. With this tour, even though the places visited were listed and I could have easily visited on my own, I really enjoyed the non-food parts of exploring the neighborhood and learning the history of some of the homes and buildings on the route. I would not have gotten so much out of this neighborhood if I had not taken this tour. Equally helpful was the listing of recommended restaurants that was given out with the tour. The only stop that I would recommend the tour replace is the visit and tasting at Piece Pizza. Pizza was not that good.

Great way to learn about a neighborhood or part of Chicago that you might not see otherwise! Very diverse restaurants / food stops on the tour that were quite yummy and quite filling! Only suggestion would be to bring your own water bottle!

My wife and I were spending a week in Lake Geneva, and had planned for a day in Chicago which included this tour. We'd rank ourselves as pretty big foodies, and were very intrigued by the description and reviews of this tour. Our tour guide, Arianna, was wonderful - very well-informed, enthusiastic, and full of fun and relevant trivia to fill the walks between stores. The stores were very well chosen, and tastings well-planned and spaced out. Also, the weather was beautiful - so thank you for working that out, too! After the tour, we returned to four of the seven stops to make purchases, taking advantages of the coupons given to us during the tour. We'd recommend this tour to all of our friends, without hesitation, and will definitely check out their other one if we're back in town. Thanks again to Arianna and the rest of Chicago Food Planet for an wonderful experience!

I really liked the tour, very informative. The tour guide Adriana (sp) was fantastic!! We did stop at this chocolate and catering ..Jay was the owner..he seemed to be annoyed that we were there. I know that he is busy but just to say Hi was too much for him. If he does not want people there then take him off the tour. The pizza place was kind of far off the path but excellent pizza. I would tell anyone to go on this tour, in fact we would come down again and try the other tour available.

It was my second time on the walking tour, and I would go a third! I like the neighborhoods, the food, the parks, the history and information. Jenn was a great tour guide. It is a nice way to do something different in the city. You get the whole tourist experience and some great food! I liked the pizza place better,(the the previous) and the olive oil shop was really neat. There was only one problem, when we got finished (Sunday) and walked back down, the shops were closed, so we didn't get to do any shopping. Maybe think about making the children be at least 8-10 years old.

The food tour was very informative and enjoyable. The selection of stops was great, and so was the food sampled at each stop. Large and delicious samples. Would highly recommend.

We were told about the Near North Food Walking tour by a friend who did it last summer. Our group consisted of my husband and myself and our two children (age 17 & 19).It met our expectations and more. It kept all of our interests all the way through (even our teenagers). The tour guide was very knowledgable, pleasant, friendly, warm. The guide was very informative about the food establishments but she also had a great knowledge of the city along the way. We were greeted at each establishment with warmth from the store employees and were given interesting information from them as well as our guide about each individual speciality. Three hours were a concern at first but we immediately forgot about the time and when the tour was finished we actually felt like we could go on. We back tracked to a few stores to make purchases when we were done the tour. All in all an excellent way to see Chicago from an insiders point of view. Not touristy at all even though we were on a tour!!

Very good

The restaurants we visited were interesting and so was the info on the neighborhoods. Our tour guide (a young man) was fun and knowledgeable. My wife uses a wheelchair and could not get into two of the seven places we went to. A little disappointing but the tour guide brought out samples for us to try. Very nice of him. We would recommend the tour.

Our tour guide was extremely well informed at all the food stops as well as pointing out the history and architectural features of the areas we walked through. The food we tasted was ample and very good and the restaurant and shop employees were helpful and informative too. We were surprised to be the only ones in our group from Illinois, we highly recommend this tour to locals, it's a relaxing Metra ride downtown and an easy cab ride to the tour meeting site. We plan to take the Wicker Park tour in the spring! Go! Enjoy!

I was with someone who had lived in Wicker Park for a number of years, and she found out about places and history she had never known before. Tip: have a LIGHT breakfast and go on the tour a little hungry. The food is just the right amount to make you full, but not stuffed to the gills. Nice mix of stops, changing up tastes from hot dogs to sweets, to savory. We went back later to one of the stops to pick up dinner for that night. Highly recommended. Try to get Jess as your guide.

Wonderful and interesting!

This is a fabulous way to see parts of Chicago that you would never otherwise probably get to see. The tour takes you into the neighborhoods and gives you such a rich history and up close and personal look into the heart of the city. Our guide, Nikki, was so personable and knowledgeable! She definitely made the 3-hour tour seem much shorter. I was ready to keep going! There was a good variety of food. .. reubens, speciality teas, EVOOs, spices, CHOCOLATE and, of course, Chicago-style pizza at its best. I highly recommend this--whether you are a Chicago or Illinois native or a visitor. I would suggest that if you haven't eaten much since breakfast, that you eat a light snack if you take a later tour (past noon). Well worth the money!

Both my husband and I can recommend this tour to anyone who likes food! The tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic about the places we visited. The food we sampled was wonderful, and introduced us to some restaurants we would not have tried otherwise. We are looking forward to our next visit to Chicago so that we can take another tour!
