The highlight of my trip
Fri, Oct 23  11:00 AM pameasterday Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
Jen was our cheerful tour guide who enthusiastically steered us through our Near North Side culinary journey. Sample sizes were ample and diverse, aisle shopping was fun, scenery was pleasant, and vegetarians eagerly accommodated. I don't get the criticism from a handful who complain that they didn't get to eat $42 worth of food. The point is to sample various cuisines and be guided around by a local while enjoying the walk, learning about history and architecture. I was plenty full by the time I finished the tour (some of the samples given include a Reuben sandwich (or potato pancake for the non-meat eater), slize of cheese stuffed pizza, cheese and hummus/crackers, and plenty of toffee brittle. YUM!

Wow, what a fantastic tour! One of the best ever!

What a terrific time we had on this tour. Not only was the food incredible, the tour guide was energetic, fun and extremely knowledgable on the architecture, folklore, and history of the area. Not only did we have a great time on the tour, I will be taking my family back down to enjoy a number of the stops along the way. This is a fantastic tour I would rank as one of the best in the entire city!

awesome- even in the rain!
Thu, Oct 22  11:00 AM nicolajb Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
I had some reservations about going on this tour in the wind and light rain, but I need not have been worried. The tour was awesome. It was a fantastic way to see Chicago, learn about some history and architecture, and visit some wonderful local shops. The food was excellent and I retraced my steps to purchase items at the conclusion of the tour. It made me want to go and cook! Our tour guide was fantastic- a fountain of knowledge and just very welcoming. She went the additional mile to make sure everyone was happy- even taking me aside and showing me a map of the town so that this confused kiwi from San Diego could understand the layout of Chicago. Fantastic!

Fantastic

I live in the suburbs of Chicago and when my brother came to visit from California, I looked for activities that I thought he and I would like. We were extremely pleased with the tour. Our favorite stops were the oil and vinegar shop and the tea shop, mainly because we learned something at both shops. I will revisit these stores. We also enjoyed walking in the three different neighborhoods. But mostly the tour ended up being so enjoyable because of our tour guide. She was very friendly and made everyone feel at ease.

This was fun, informative, "off the beaten path"
Tue, Oct 20  11:00 AM npilotte Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Unspecified
The guide (Nicky) was enthusiastic and very well informed, kept things moving, and introduced us to real gems of shops. The only downside was that there was no time to make purchases at each shop, and the coupons provided did not include online sales. However, if I am in Chicago again with free time available, I would not hesitate to take another tour from Chicago Food Planet.

An enjoyable and educational experience
Mon, Oct 19  11:00 AM NBMARSHALL Male 70+ Local Couple on a Date
One of the most interesting and fascinating experiences. Our guide, Nicky, made us feel as if we were on a private tour with her. Her comments about the history of the neighborhoods we visited were informative and enjoyable. We've lived in the Greater Chicago area (Vernon Hills) for 11 years but were unaware of the sites we visited. We plan to recommend the tour to allof our out-of-town visitors. We have already recommended it to our neighbors and local friends.

Eat some great food and see the city!
Mon, Oct 19  11:00 AM kesdeo Unspecified 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Unspecified
We thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Our guide was great - very friendly and upbeat. It was a great way to see the city in a non-touristy kind of way. We love to learn about history of cities and did learn a few new things on this tour. The food tasting was fantastic - from the Pastrami sandwich to the oils and balsamic vinegar to the delicious chocolate treat. Definitely a great way to bring exposure to the gems you may never have found out about on your own. I highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed. Great date idea for couples!

Lots of good food. We went to places we wouldn't have ventured without someone in the "know". What a great way to experience Chicago.

I work in a culinary school and loved every minute of this tour - especially the Spice shop. I would recommend this tour to for new foodies to experts.

Informative! Diverse! and Cultural!
Sun, Oct 18  11:30 AM wsossola Female 40-49 Local Group of Friends
I highly reccommend this tour for anyone interested in Chi town neighborhoods! I booked this tour for my friend's bhirthday. We have been to Chi town numerously and always wanted to wander and browse other neighborhoods but never knew where to begin. This tour was a great tutorial. Our guide, Jennifer was terrific! Knowledgeable, courteous, engaging, and informative. We can hardly wait until next spring so that we can book the Bucktown and Wicker park tour. Everyone always thinks Chicago is just State street and Michigan Avenue. There is so much more to this diverse city. Thanks again and see you in this spring! Wendy Ossola

The Near North tour was fun, informational, and quite tasty. We enjoyed our tour guide and the pick of locations was a good mix. Many of us re-traced our steps to go back and buy the products that we sampled.

Better than expected, more walking than expected.
Sun, Oct 18  11:30 AM bholz123 Male 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
GREAT TIME! Exceeded my expectations. Didn't know how tea and spices could be so interesting, but they were! Special kudos to the tour guide, who provided a great deal of the information, even in the restaurants and shops! The only problem, a little more walking than suggested by the on-line information. My sister had a hard time keeping up, but she wasn't in perfect health. Other than that, a WONDERFUL way to see some of the neighborhoods of Chicago, whether for the first or the hundreth time!

A wonderful afternoon!
Sun, Oct 18  11:00 AM SSJLambert Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
We are a group of four women who have met in Chicago the past two years to shop, relax and eat. We were referred to this tour and decided to include it in our plans for Sunday before we flew home. It was very enjoyable. Our guide, Ariana, was charming and had so much information. We all thoroughly enjoyed the choices of places to stop and sample. It was suprising how much we learned! In fact, for our trip next year we plan to come back to the shops we visited so we can spend more time. Thanks!
