Fantastic Tour that I would Recommend
Tue, Jul 22, 08   11:00 AM rghigg Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
As a group of 5 friends from different parts of the country, we decided to take this food tour to see the real cultural part of Chicago. The tastings were wonderful on all aspects from the Chicago stuffed pizza to the tasting of the oils and spices. Of course, the chocolate tasting was a great ending to the tour. You could tell that each store owner was very knowledgeable of their craft. Our guide was very informative and just a fun person to lead the group. The set-up of the tour was just at the right pace; when to let us rest, when to give us food & drink, and when to take the restroom break. Greatly recommend this tour. Also recommend to take the tour at the beginning of your stay in Chicago - that way you can visit the individual places later in your stay!

Worth more than we paid.

We had a great tour leader who was full of energy and knowledge. Our group was a bunch of fun and we all enjoyed each other. Food tasting was wonderful, city knowledge that the guide added was special. Exercise was appreciated to help wear off the calories from the great tastings. We loved it. Our guide was a photographer and she was really special. She was considerate and full of tidbits and fun. We'd do it again.

My husband and I really enjoyed this tour. We are both unfamiliar with Chicago but felt that this tour helped us get our bearings. We also figured out where to get a great meal and where the good shopping is. This tour introduced us to neighborhoods we otherwise wouldn't have seen. Our tour guides (one was in training) were great! They were willing and able to answer just about every question we asked them. For what we got, this tour was an absolute bargain.

Fun and filling

Guide was smart and friendly. Group was large at 14 but things went smoothly. Food offerings were varied and ranged from great to good; would certainly want to visit several of the cafes again. Guide provided interesting information on the homes and about the places where we were given samples. A LOT OF FOOD. We took some home for later. Bucktown did not have much for shops; Wicker had a lot of varied if expensive stores. A very enjoyable three hours. Will recommend to friends/family.

Great Experience

We just went on the Bucktown/Wicker Park tour and it was fabulous. Despite the rain, we had a wonderful time trying new food and learning about the history and architecture of the area. Ben was our tour guide and was very knowledgeable about the area he did an excellent job. I would recommend this to anyone whether you live in the city, suburbs, or are on vacation, it is a lot of fun.

very enjoyable and informative walking food tour

Excellent walking tour,with nice neighborhood info from our guide, Nikki. She was very personable, fun, energetic, you could tell she enjoys her job. The places we went were interesting and eclectic. My husband and I visit Chicago all the time but did not know of these places and it was nice to have our eyes opened to new parts of the city and the stores and restaraunts. Highly recommend and would do it again.

This was the highlight of our Chicago trip!
Thu, Jul 31, 08   11:00 AM Reneegaffke Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
We did the 11:00 tour on Thurs. 7/31 with Emily as our guide. WOW-does she know her stuff and what an interesting, fun, vivacious person she is! We loved every stop. I was so impressed with the workers/owners of each place...to take the time to tell us what makes their place or product special. We learned so many interesting facts that we are still talking about and the products we went back to purchase are being totally enjoyed, esp. the tea and vinegar & oil. We loved hearing Emily talk about the history of Chicago and the 3 neighborhoods we visited and all the beautiful homes and parks! I highly recommend this walking tour for anyone who loves things off the beaten path and something that is very different than the normal touristy thing!

Fun, taste treats, informative, and good exercise
Sun, Oct 21, 07   2:00 PM RENEECAPRILE Female 60-69 Local Group of Friends
It was a great way to spend a beautiful fall day in Chicago. The guide was great - personable, knowledgeable, focused on us having a good time. Enjoyed all the stops and the food. Loved walking through such neat areas of the city. My only suggestion would be to have less chocolate related places and substitute with something else. I would definitely take another tour with your company and hope that you will keep me informed of up and coming events.

Great but more time needed!
Tue, Aug 26, 08   11:00 AM reese5513 Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
The tour was great. There was a really fun combination of tasting stops and unique places. I wish, however, that the tour permitted more time at each stop to shop and buy souvenirs and treats. It felt a little rushed, and I was disappointed that I couldn’t take more advantage of the stops and buy stuff. Overall it was a fabulous experience. Our tour guide was great. Nicki was fun, nice and knowledgeable.

Worthwhile tour
Fri, Aug 22, 08   11:30 AM Reedmalone Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
I enjoyed this tour. I saw parts of the city that I probably would not have otherwise gotten to, and I don't think I would have stopped in some of the places on my own. It moves at a comfortable pace. The guide was flexible, friendly and knowledgable. The highlight of the tour was Bacino's. I asked many people the best places for deep dish/stuffed pizza, and no one said "Bacino's" -- what an oversight! The stuffed pizza at Bacino's was worth the whole tour. I had it again the next day.

Fun Way to Experience Chicago Food & Neighborhoods
Fri, Sep 18  11:00 AM reedlib Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
My husband & I really enjoyed this tour. Our guide, Jen, was just wonderful! She gave us a lovely tour of three local neighborhoods, giving us bits of information on the history, architecture and local events in each. She was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic---you could tell she enjoys what she's doing and is a real "people person". The food was varied, interesting and enjoyable. We didn't get to go into the deli that day, as it was just before a holiday and they were exceptionally busy, but we got to sit on their patio and experience our first tasting---so good! I was a bit curious about the tea and oil shops, but those turned out to be two of our favorites! My husband is now drinking tea, thanks to what he learned and experienced that day (thanks, Abigail!). I learned so much in the oil shop about what is good, what I like---I would never have expected to learn so much there, or enjoy it so much! I was really impressed. The spice shop was quite interesting, even though I am not the cook in the family. The chocolate shop was every bit as wonderful as you would imagine, and Dave (I believe that's correct--the owner) was gracious and answered all questions patiently. It's nice to see family owned businesses. I enjoyed the pizza at the end, as well! Wear comfortable walking shoes, take your camera and enjoy! All in all, I would recommend this tour very highly!

The tour was fun. It was a wonderful way of seeing Bucktown and Wicker Park. Our tour guide Kent was outstanding. The food choices were fantastic. I plan on recommending this tour to all of my friends that visit Chicago.
