| A friend and I spent a week end in Chicago recently and went on the tour. It was the highlight of our week end. Caroline (our guide) did a wonderful job. She was very enthusiastic, polite, well informed and had a great loud voice. The weather was perfect for our activity. The tour was wonderful. Learned a lot about the area, culture, architecture, food and the other folks on the tour. The merchants we visited were very hospitable, helpful and humerous. The walk was not strenuous at all. The amount of food consumed was just right. We received many coupons and special bargains that surpassed the cost of our tickets. I would do this again the next time I'm in Chicago or any other city that has this type of tour. A+++ | ||||||

| The Bucktown/Wicker Park Food Tasting tour was fabulous. Kent, our guide, was very, very knowledgable about the area and also was very entertaining with thoughts and suggestions in what to see and do in the area. My family loved the entire tour and it was among the best things that we did in Chicago. The food tasting was delicious. I would highly recommend it to all my friends and would like to take the other food tasting tour when I come back to the city. Darlene | ||||||

| The food from all the restaurants was great; our tour guide (Kent) was knowledgeable and personable; the area was beautiful and interesting - in short, it was all good. We've been to Chicago several times but would never have explored this area of town if it hadn't been for this tour. We liked it so much we went back on our own a few days later and purchased more food to take home with us. Four of the six businesses on the tour were owned and operated by women and I liked being able to support young entrepreneurs, while enjoying great food too. The walking even helped offset the calories consumed! Great experience, I highly recommend it! | ||||||

| Our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Enjoyed seeing the neighborhoods and getting beyond the main streets. The residential architecture is very interesting. The restaurants we visited were very good and the samples were large. We appreciated learning about other restaurants in the area and we, in fact, went back and had a delicious dinner at Le Buchon. I would recommend this to any Chicago visitor. Come with a big appetite. | ||||||

| This was an incredible tour! The guide, Nikki, was so informative! I was introduced to new foods and learned a great deal along the way. It was interesting exploring three very distinctive Chicago neighborhoods--something I would not have likely experienced on my own. I would suggest, though, that there's too long a gap between the last stop and second-to-last-stop. Overall, this was a great experience! I can't wait to come back to the city and take the other tour offered! | ||||||

| We went on the North Food tasting and tour. Group size was good - not too many. There wasn't a bad stop in the tour. We had plenty to eat . Got a good history of Old Town and what drove migration from the south side of Chicago to the north side. Because we were out of town, we loved the fact that several of the shops we visited had catalogs and web presence so we could order items over the internet. Would highly recommend this tour to those living in Chicago who could visit /use these establishments on a regular basis such as the Jewish deli and caterer. Great tour! | ||||||

| The guide on this tour was knowledgeable, friendly and obviously enjoys her work. This experience gave me the chance to find out a little more about Chicago that I would never have found out for myself. I went along on my own for this tour and felt comfortable as everyone in the group was friendly. I thought it would have been tiring walking for 3 hours but the time flew in and there were lots of stops and delicious treats along the way. One of the highlights of my trip. | ||||||

Great way to see out of the way Chicago

| This tour is a fascinating way to see a few neighbourhoods that you would not normally get to visit as a tourist. It is a combination of food tasting and guided walking tour in an interesting neibourhood. Our guide was dynamic and knowledgeable, both about the food and the area we visited. The stores we visited were mostly interesting, in particular the tea store and the oil store. There was also an intriguing spice store. We were 10 or 12 which was a good size with a good mix of engaging people. It is a long walk, especially if you walk back to revisit some of the stores to make a few purchases, so you need to be in reasonable shape and wear comfortable shoes. | ||||||

| Our tour with Jessie was great! She was a wealth of loacal knowledge, and spoke clearly, and loud enough for all to hear her. The stops along the way were a complete delight, and were visited by my wife prior to leaving town! We showed the list of your recommended stops, to a Chicago local, and they said you had hit a home run with them. So congrat's on a job well done! We'll be back! Sincerely, Dennis Perkins | ||||||

| 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 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. | ||||||

Excellent way to see and taste a new city

| 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. | ||||||

| Thoroughly enjoyed this tour visiting many vendors that I normally would never see, i.e. spice shop. I really like the beet sauce and Reuben Sandwich at Askenaz deli and the spinach and mozarella cheese stuffed pizza. Jen was absolutely terrific with her knowledge of the area and history of Chicago. She puts so much enthusiasm and style to her tours. I will gladly return to Chicago and retake this tour as well as the Bucktown/Wicker Park tour again. thanks for the experience.
