| Loved it!! Would definetely recommend it for all ages. Our tour guide was excellent. Very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I think her name was Jenn. The pace was great...had plenty of time to sample and didn't have to wait for people to shop. So much fun!! We had a pretty diverse group and a fine time was had by all. The shops were very diverse and the food was very tasty.... | ||||||

| Kate, our guide was fantastic. We tasted our way through a jewish deli, tea shop, spice store, oil and vinegar specialty vendor, fudge maker, heart healthy chicago style pizza and ended at a chocolate lounge. Along the way Kate entertained us with stories about the local architecture and parks. This was an easy walk on a gorgeous day. I would love to see more of these types of tours that might include only local foods like the chicago style hot dog, chicago style pizza and other foods somewhat unique to Chicago. I wouldn't mind going on a tour of the ethnic neighborhoods as well. This was a terrific intro to the variety of foods available in a lovely area of 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. | ||||||

| Well worth every cent. There wasn't a single part we didn't enjoy. And it was a great balance between learning about the city, enjoying some interesting tastings and eating great food. | ||||||

| The tour was the highlight of our trip. It was blistering hot that day but you can't control the weather ! I would ( and have ) recommended it to all of our friends. I teach a cooking class and will also recommend it to my classes too. Richard Voigt | ||||||

| Loved the walking food tour that I was on. I got to see parts of Chicago I otherwise wouldn't have and sample some of the most delicious foods that Chicago brags about. Our tour guide was enthusiastic, informative, very helpful and friendly. A great experience that I would highly recommend when in Chicago. | ||||||

| The walk was wonderful, filled with interesting sights and information but not much food. Our guide was great with a warm personality giving each of us attention and answered our questions even when they were silly. Food however, was sparse getting only one small bit as a sample of the whole establishment except for the pizza. | ||||||

| My friends and I met in Chicago for a weekend and we went on the food tour. Our guide Kate was great. Very informative, spoke to everyone in the group, and fun! The places we stopped were great. I learned about tea. Loved the oil shop and spice shop. We actually went back after the tour and purchased several items. It is really 2 tours in one. Learned about the architecture and the foods of the city. We would recommend it highly. Be prepared to walk. Finished up the tour with chocolate. YUMM!!!! | ||||||

| My wife and I truly enjoyed our food tour experience. We were not totally thrilled about the Jewish Deli foods, but found it very informational. At all of the stops we were greated by very friendly representatives of that particular establishment. Our tour guide was Nicki, she was a DELIGHT, she also gave us some very informative historical information along the walk as we approached each establishment. I highly recommend this tour to anyone and would go on it again whenever we visit Chicago again. Sincerely, Rick Ruppel. Webster City,Iowa | ||||||

| We have lived in the NW suburbs for 18 yrs. and really didnt know where Bucktown or Wicker Park were. We have heard of them but never went. My friend was visiting from MI and my son who goes to Inst. of Art International Culinary school went with me on this tour. I was nervous about taking the Metra and getting off at Clybourn. It was a piece of cake ! Walk down Cortland and you run right into the 1st stop. We loved all the tastings, but we all agreed the Hotdog killed our appitite. We were all hungry not eating breakfast,and we ate the whole hotdog. Everyone really knows what a hotdog tastes like, so I would either put it at the end or find something a little different. That was the only thing that we didnt like and others on the tour felt the same. Our guide was very fun and interesting (Kent) I would return to Bucktown and Wicker Park, Dont miss this tour, it is really fun and filling! | ||||||

| Kate was a delightful and knowledgeable guide. The tour captured the attention of at least one patron of the sites we visited who was fascinated by the discussion and history and asked for more information on the tour. The food started with a delicious pastrami reuben, continued with tea, spices, oil and vinegar, chocolate, pizza, and lots of background and architecture on the way. You won't be disappointed. | ||||||

| We came to Chicago for my husband to run the marathon and a family vacation. Based on prior reviews I saw it was recommended to take the tour when you first arrive and I'm so glad we did. We did the North tour and Jen was our guide, phenomenal! Our kids, 10 and 17 enjoyed the tour as much as we did, even in the chilly rainy weather. Jen's vast knowledge of the area, history and architecture was such a nice addition, she truly kept us interested the entire 3 hour trip! We are total foodies and loved the selection of places on the tour. We went back and purchased many items from the tea, oil, spice and fudge shops. Jen also helped us with other dining recommendations as we didn't want to eat at chain restaurants and prefer to eat with the locals. We had dinner at Adoba the night before the marathon (normally eat pasta before but decided to change it up a bit and go Mexican), excellent table side guacamole, food and margaritas! Also, after every race my husband craves a good burger, so she told us about Hamburger Mary's, honestly the best burger I've ever eaten! IF, we had not done the food tour, we would have been stuck on touristy Michigan Ave for 5 days, and wouldn't have known what lie just outside the loop and shopping areas. We figured out the El and busses rather quickly and off we went. Even having 5 days we ran out of time for all the things we wanted to do, we definitely would have done the Wicker Park/Bucktown food tour and we didn't see The Bean! We did have rain 3 days of our 5 day vacation, but we made the most of it, we all had our own umbrellas and rain ponchos! All in all, Chicago is the bomb and we all agreed we would love to go back around Christmas time to see everything decorated and to shop! We will definitely do the other food tour! We shout out a big thanks to Jen! | ||||||

| This was a great tour. The falaful was not liked by any one in our group of four and I saw alot of people throwing them away. Maybe a different type would be more acceptable. Overall A+ Tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Everytime we visit a larger city we look for a food tour. We think they are the greatest. | ||||||
