| Kent did a wonderful job - tour was well conducted with lots of information. Our favourite tastings were the Hot Dog and Chocolate Milk. We have told many people about the tour. | ||||||

| A very good way to be introduced to this part of Chicago. History, architecture, food : a very pleasant mixture with a very nice guide. Gastronomy in Chicago? Oh, yes. | ||||||

| It was a great day, a great tour, and a really great tour guide - Jessie. This activity gives a nice snapshot of some Chicago neighborhoods and the selection of shops that many people would never have discovered, if not for this tour. Our group had a wonderful time. I have already recommended this to other friends and plan on doing your other tour soon! the ONLY recommendation - to pass out bags with your logo and info on the outside - to hold all the goodies and information! Your tour participants would then be walking advertisements of your tour. | ||||||

| I have spent a lot of time in Chicago but I have never really explored the local neighborhoods--this tour combined wonderful tastings with lots of local information. We had a super guide (Nicky) who was enthusiastic about her job and made the tour even more fun. I plan to take another group of friends on this tour next year and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to do something a little out of the ordinary in downtown Chicago. My one suggestion to the tour planners would be to delete the final pizza place and pick a few more establishments closer to the other ones we visited. I think we walked almost half an hour from the next-to-the-last shop to the pizza place and without that final stop, we could have visited even more shops. Overall, I really enjoyed the tour and totally recommend it to others! | ||||||

| Thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Our tour guide, Jen was exceptional. Pluses - Olive oil/vinegar store, jewish deli, tea store and pizza were interesting and delicious. Walking through and learning the history of the neighborhoods was great. Negatives - stop at caterer should be dropped. cheese was ok, but they had fabulous daily dishes on display that could have been added. Understand the time constraints, but wish there was a way to allow some purchases during the tour. Expectation to reverse trail and stop back by the business (especially for out of town guests) is unrealistic. | ||||||

| You will want to make sure you have your walking shoes on. This tour was slightly over three hours, and pace, while not hurried, was brisk in moving from location to location. The walk is a little over a mile, and you will be on your feet for most of the three hours. We are from a town just 80 miles away from Chicago and go a few times a year for shows, dining and sights. We never took a walking tour before, and selected this one based on description and reviews. We wandered from the Gold Coast, through Old Town to Lincoln Park. Our guide, Jen, was knowledgeable, personable, and made sure she gave personal attention everyone in our thirteen person group. The focus of the tour is to visit locally owned and run specialty shops that all have a common denominator in food. You will sample local deli fare, visit a spice shop, taste some of the most amazing olive oils and balsamic vinegars, savor some local chocolate, keep hydrated with iced specialty teas, taste your way through the cheese shop, and then sit down for a marvelous slice of Chicago stuffed pizza. While you don't eat or drink a ton the samples are generous, are are designed to give you a real taste, while leaving you plenty of room for the next stop. Along the route, you will see and learn about the neighborhoods and their distinctive character and history along with their architectural diversity. I think I would call this more a neighborhood tour than a food tour. The focus is food overall, but you end up with a very good sample of those things that really make a neighborhood distinctive, the food, the history and the architecture. You feel like you have been given a good enough look to know your way around and will want to come back another time and spend another day exploring on your own. | ||||||

| The food tour was a wonderful way to experience some of the culture, history, and treats of Chicago. Our guide, Nicky, was informative and entertaining and the stops we made along the tour provided a unique tasting experience. Make sure to wear comfortable walking shoes. | ||||||

Five-star Chicago attraction!

| We have done both Chicago Food Planet Tours and Bucktown/Wicker Park Tour takes a slight edge with bigger and better tastings. We were so full after hot dogs, iced hot chocolate (YUM!) deli salad, pizza and ice cream that we didn't need to eat dinner. We went back to Hot Chocolate two nights later for dessert. Both tours are fabulous, fun and informative and the time flies. Our guide was fun and because the group size is relatively small, its easy to visit with other tour participants. This is a five-star Chicago attraction! | ||||||

| We had a great guide, Caroline who was enthusiastic about her job. She not only guided us through the food tour, but had much knowledge about the areas we walked through. She was able to answer all questions and she made it fun for everyone. Would highly recommend this activity to others, in fact, already doing so. My group just expected to be walking, going from place to place without much narrating in between, but it was much more than that. And we were pleasently surprised to the involvement of the shops on the tour. We enjoyed almost every stop, however, we all felt that the Catering Chocolate could be pulled from the tour. It did not have much to offer and the people there were not as friendly as the other places, in fact, they never said a word to our group. Thanks for a great time. | ||||||

Fun way to tour Chicago

| This was a fun way to see Chicago and learn about some of the city's history. The food tasting was fun although I would have liked to have seen more Chicago specific foods (hotdogs, barbeque, etc).. Loved the oil and spice shops though. Lots of walking and if you want to purchase something you'll have to walk back to the store after the tour.. We did this only because we were leaving the next day and wanted to buy a few things but it was really a lot of walking for one day. Would like to have a little extra time to buy products while we were in the stores. | ||||||

| Thoroughly enjoyed the tour, great food, very interesting facts about the neighborhood and people. We did this as a getaway with our 18 yr old daughter before she leaves for college and we had a wonderful time. Nice way to learn more about Chicago other than the Magnificent Mile. | ||||||
