Great way to spend an afternoon Bucktown/Wicker Park Food Tasting & Cultural Tour
Wed, Oct 7 11:30 AM	blackmons	Female	50-59	Local	Family Without Children
I can't say enough about this wonderful tour. Delicious and abundant food, fun and knowledgeable tour guide, beautiful architecture, extremely well-organized. I would love to see more quality tours such as this one in other Chicago neighborhoods. Whatever you do, don't eat before the tour! Water and bathroom breaks were available at stops along the way, and although there was a lot of walking, there were many opportunities to sit also. We were three generations on this tour and all of us loved it.

My mother, age 78, and I went just for something different. Not too difficult for her and yet not boring or limiting. It was so great! The tour guide, Kent, was very nice, the food was a great assortment and the cultural/historical information was fascinating. We loved it and look forward to doing it with our spouses or friends and taking the near north tour.

Our guide was excellent and helpful with suggestions. Anyone who enjoys food and tourism should spend part of their day. I enjoyed seeing another area of Chicago. I learned alot. I am highly recommending my daughter and I go to the food tour in Washington.

What a great way to see Chicago! Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour

I am a tour operator and just took a small group on this tour. Everyone was extremely happy with what we did. First of all, our leader/guide was fantastic. She was very enthusiastic about Chicago and the neighborhoods we saw. She was very knowledgeable about the architecture. The stops at the venues we had were so much fun. They were not your usual "chain" shops. We all went back the next day to make purchases! I would recommend this trip to everyone. We had some ladies that were over 80 years old and they did opt to take a taxi to our last stop, but that worked out fine. Great day!
Excellent way to start a Chicago vacation Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour

My Mom and I had never been to Chicago and read about this tour so decided it would be a nice way to learn about Chicago and start our trip. The tour was fantastic! We learned a lot, had an excellent tour guide, a great group of fellow tourists and the food/beverages were excellent (I'll be ordering several things from the places we visited - not enough room in my luggage to get them at the time). If we had known how much fun this was going to be we would have booked both tours for the same vacation, but we plan to return to Chicago on a future vacation because we loved the city so much. We both highly recommend this tour and agree with others about doing it at the beginning of a trip to learn more about Chicago (advice we got from others who had provided feedback when we were looking for things to do in Chicago).
great afternoon of food and local history Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour

This was a wonderful way to get to know more about three Chicago neighborhoods. Each stop on the tour was a local food merchant with great product and food. Our guide was fun, knowledgeable about both food and neighborhood lore. It rained be we still had a great time!
Enjoyable, informative, multi-faceted experience Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour

My friend and I spent an enjoyable afternoon with a group of others who were similarly interested in food, culture and architecture off the beaten path. We stopped into 7 very different and unique stores along an interesting walking tour. Our guide, Shane, skillfully & humorously guided the group and informed us about the merchandise, history and architecture we encountered along the way. We received free samples (yum!) and coupons at each store. We enjoyed each others' company as we stepped away from the usual tourist bustle and venues. I wish I lived closer so I could enjoy the other tour offerings of Chicago Food Planet in the near future. This tour is a must-do event next time you visit the "windy" city that got a "do-over" on its urban planning.
Fantastic Tour Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour

This was a great experience. Our guide, Jessie, was personable, knowledgeable, and efficient. The choice of destinations was excellent, and we plan to purchase from them via mail order in the future. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
Great tour with interesting information & stops Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour
Sat, Oct 3 11:30 AM	debbiemarks	Male	50-59	Combination	Other
This tour was excellent. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and the stops were both fun and interesting. We went back to 2 of the stops because we wanted to actually buy some spices and oils but would also return to a few more. I have lived in and around Chicago my whole life and still found out some new things. When in one of the stops with a large group you do feel like a tourist but it passes quickly. You need to check the weather on the day you go. Fortunately the weather was only cloudy with a few spinkles towards the end. It would have been a more difficult day if it would have rained but you need to dress for the weather. We still would have had fun. Great exercise too especially if you walk back to the start.

What a great, informative, delicious afternoon. Our guide was well versed in the historical, architectural and culinary aspects of downtown Chicago. The food facts were very interesting and samples --delicious. I will do this tour over again and recommend it to anyone.
Great food & very informative Bucktown/Wicker Park Food Tasting & Cultural Tour
Fri, Oct 2 11:30 AM	robertabagot	Female	50-59	Local	Group of Friends
I'm always looking for something fun to do that's off the beaten track, and this tour was perfect. Even though I live in Chicagoland, I have not been to Bucktown or Wicker Park much. I was surprised at all the neat little restaurants and the variety of food that was offered on this tour. I actually had to "take-away" the falafel - I just couldn't eat anymore! I also love architecture, and really enjoyed having the details of some special homes pointed out during our walk around Wicker Park. The history about the area was also very interesting. Kent was our tour guide - I thought he was fantastic. I highly recommend this tour. I have also been on the Near North Food Tour. I enjoyed that one as well - it is completely different and goes through more neighborhoods (but is a longer walk).
great time, great food Bucktown/Wicker Park Food Tasting & Cultural Tour

EXCELLENT!! Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour
Thu, Oct 1 11:00 AM	marsh1010	Female	50-59	Local	Couple on a Date
I believe our tour leader was Nicki, she was awesome! Friendly, informative and very relaxing to be with. We learned a lot about the area, tasted some amazing food and yet felt not-rushed and very "vacationly". No pressure, just a very relaxing few hours. I would recommend this to everyone and can't wait to visit Chicago again and take another tour. Thanks.
Would not recommend this tour Bucktown/Wicker Park Food Tasting & Cultural Tour
Wed, Sep 30 12:00 PM	MaureenMaffe	Female	50-59	Unspecified	Group of Friends
A group of my friends attended the Old Town, Lincoln Park tour last year and absolutely loved it! We are still ordering from the tea store (sorry but I can't spell their official name), the Spice House and Old Town Oil. In fact, after the Wicker Park/Bucktown tour last week, we headed back to the above establishments. We knew this tour would be different than last years seeing that it was restaurants but there was not one restaurant that I would rush back to. There has to be better areas and better restaurants in the city of Chicago to do a similar tour. As a side note--the ice cream shop served ice cream with nuts--with all the people that are allergic to nuts (including me), I think they could have picked a better sample. They did make me a special ice cream but it was after everyone else was done and I felt uncomfortable.
