Chicago Food Planet Food Tours

Jessica provided lots of local insight into trendy places to eat, great cultural interest and kept the pace going so all were interested. Food was great...even the hot dog! We came back that night to a speak easy she recommended only shown by a light over the door..we would never had found it otherwise. Great fun for a couple or a group in town.

We had a fantastic time. The weather could not have been better and Heather our tour guide was friendly and informative. I highly recommend this tour. The food was sooo good and the neighborhood is beautiful. I also recommend you walking over to Lincoln park after the tour to continue walking off your food and to take in the beautiful sights. The Lincoln park zoo is free. Enjoy!

My husband, myself and my 16 year old son really enjoyed this tour. It offered a great variety in the different stops (tastings) we made and we found it enjoyable and interesting as well. It was a beautiful day so walking around Chicago was also a pleasure. We loved seeing the different neighborhoods of Chicago. It was very nice that we got to sit down at Bacino's Pizza to enjoy the pizza and rest a bit! Our tour guide (Emily) was very sweet and informative. The only negative comment I have is the last stop - Ethel's Chocolate Shop - I thought they could have offered a bit more than two tiny pieces of chocolate - perhaps a small cup of hot chocolate as well would have been nicer. Other than that, nothing negative to say at all! Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting Chicago!

We were a bit worried that we wouldn't like the "olive oil" tastings and the spice shop. Those two ended up being our favorites of the day. All three of my children were fascinated!

Great food on tour and good information given by guide about area. Very much enjoyed!

This tour was the perfect combination of food and stories. I would go back to each and every restaurant!

This was one of the best activities I have done in Chicago! We enjoyed Kent's tour and all the delicious food! We can't wait to go back and try all these restaurants again. The neighborhood information was fun and interesting and it was great to meet people from all over North America.

We so enjoyed doing the walking tour because it gave us a taste of different neighborhoods and lots of history of each area. Our guide was most excellent. She had great personality, and was such a gem. In fact, we told her she reminded us of "Rachel Ray", I believe her name was Rebecca. I would recommend this tour to anyone who could walk and stand for approximately 3 hours of the 3-1/2 hour tour. My only complaint would be that we weren't able to purchase items at the time of the tour, but other than that, we were so glad we made the decision to participate in this tour.

We had a wonderful time during our walk through some very beautiful parts of Chicago. We have been to Chicago many times in the past and never saw or experienced it this way. Fantastic time and Jess was great. Very knowledgeable and very cheerful. If you can request your guide, ask for Jess. The stops we made and the food tasting was just perfect. Well planned out. Tons of Walking but we love that. Even our 15 year son really enjoyed it. Highly recommend this tour well worth every penny. Susan from Toronto Canada

TERRIFIC......KENT, Our 'guide,' was great...the food, variety of food, 'cultural' experience---all was great....I am NOT going to use the words 'amazing' 'awesome' 'insane' or 'oh my god.'

We are a group of women that travel together once a year. We love chocolate. Both the food and distance were traveled were perfect. We got to see a part of Chicago we probably would of never seen. We could not of asked for a better tour guide. She made everyone feel very comfortable. And she was full of information. Some of the women really don't walk to much and for them it was just perfect. Plus we learned alot about spices and oil and tea. I am the one that booked it and they gave me a gold star for the day. Sometimes it's hard to find things for us today that everybody can enjoy. I would highly recomend this tour. Sue Niebur Minnesota Traveler

My husband and I consider food a wonderful part of life...we love to try new things. This tour allowed us to do just that and get a bit of education, history, background on the foods, the shops, and the neighborhoods. Our guide was very energetic and helpful with lots of information and advice. We will use much of what we learned from her to make our next trip to Chicago even better - shows to see, restaurants to try, and shops to purchase specialty items not available in our region of the country. We highly recommend this food tasting tour! Bon apetit!!

We enjoyed the cultural aspects of the tour and the food was great! I'll bring my husband on one of the tours next time!

This is the second time that we have done this tour. The food was a little different and the route was a little different than two years ago but just as much fun. A great way to show off the city to friends that are visiting and they get great food without you having to cook or cleanup! Our tour guide Chris was very informative and kept the information light and interesting. Thanks!

A glimpse of China is provided in this slightly over 3 hour tour. Culture is intertwined with the food samplings from the various regions of China. Go early or stay later and explore the shops that you pass by along the way to the food stops. The food was great especially if you like Chinese food and if you're not too sure just keep an open mind and dive in! Hillary was an excellent guide and pointed out a lot about the history and architecture of the area. Our group had a great time!
