Our tour guide was amazing! We learned so much more than just information about great food in Chicago. We also learned some awesome historical facts and about some interesting architecture tidbits. The food tasting was also fantastic. My favorite was The Fudge Pot. Amazing!

Awesome tour of the north neighborhoods!
Mon, Jun 23, 08   11:30 AM queenieb21 Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
I really enjoyed this tour. I visited Chicago once before, but my husband and I had explored the areas of the Loop and the museum districts on our own. I was on my own in Chicago this time and decided to take this tour up in the Northern Neighborhoods of the Gold Coast, Old Town, and Lincoln Park. It was amazing! I went back to half of the stops and bought merchandise because the shops were so cool! I will take my husband on this tour the next time we are in Chi-town.

Most Enjoyable!!!

2 of us were tourists visiting family, and 2 of us were locals that had never done this tour. We all enjoyed it! Our tour leader was fun and knowledgable about the food AND the area. We backtraded and revisited several of the stores to make purchases and the 2 locals are planning on going back in the future. Thanks for supplying, brochures and magazines with websites furnished so that I can purchase from North Carolina! Looking forward to my trip next year and going on the new tour you're planning.

Good, but more "food" would be better

The architectural/historical part of the tour was very good. However, about 1/2 of the tastings were tastes of iced tea, spices/oils. Hence, "food" tasting is a bit misleading, but overall would still recommend.

Highly recommended

I was really looking forward to this kind of tour that I set up for myself. I was even more impressed and it exceeded my expectations. The food participants were wonderful and unusual enough to make it interesting. The architectural tour was very interesting and we had a very informative guide. I feel like we were received very well in each of our tastings and the tour moved along at a really good pace. I would recommend that the bathroom at the hot dog site be cleaner than when I experienced it. A lot of people use it at the start of the tour and it is a unisex bathroom which left something to be desired.

Best experience of our whole trip.

We came to Chicago to visit specific destinations and stumbled across this tour and thought it would be a nice way to fill in a time slot. We found this to be the best experience of our whole trip! Our guide was GREAT! He gave us interesting information on Chicago and the neighborhoods as we walked through them. The weather was perfect and we were definitely not hungry when we finished the tour. We would highly recommend this tour.

"Food Tasting" Tour Does Not Live Up to Name
Sat, May 9  12:30 PM Putt4dough Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family With Children
We were expecting a tasting tour and were very disappointed. Started off with 1/2 a potato pancake at noon and didn't taste anything of consequence until a piece of pizza at 3:30 PM. In the interim "tasted" oils and balsamic vinegar, spices, tea, a cube of cheese and hummus on one cracker and a bite of chocolate. Tour guests joked among themselves as to the frugal nature of the tastings. Very poor value for $40 per person. Guides were excellent. Very lively and knowledgeable of the walking areas. Too bad that they were burdened by the poorly conceived "tastings". This tour could be something great if someone would put some effort into the food content. I do not recommend this tour.

I really enjoyed the tour even though we were stuck with a rainy day. Our tour guide kept the mood light and upbeat despite the dismal weather. I have to caution individuals thinking about taking the tour solo. At times I felt as though I was just tagging along because everyone else was participating with friends and family. My attempts to stay engaged and interact with the guide were limited by a couple that monopolized much of our tour guides time while walking. All in all a nice experience with lots to learn and experience.

Such fun! And plenty of food!
Fri, Jun 5  11:30 AM punkysmama Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
I've been on both of the Chicago Food Tours now and I loved them both! I'd say that we definitely got more "food food" on the Bucktown/Wicker Park tour, but both were fabulous! The guides are great and very knowledgeable. Besides the great food, the history you hear about and the architecture you get to see on the tours just adds to the experience. I took a local with me and she vowed to take her husband on it, she loved it so much! Two thumbs up! :)

Awesome!

We've been to Chicago many times but for the most part stayed in the downtown/Lincoln Park area. If you want to venture out and see a different part of Chicago, this tour is for you. Our guide was extremely knowledgable and well spoken. I can not think of one thing that I did not like. Next time we're in Chicago, we're going to do the other tour. My only advise is to come hungery! We ate an entire Chicago style hotdog, a huge slice of pizza, a cup of very strong hot chocolate, homemade Granola, pickled beets, 2 chocolate truffles, and ice cream.

Best way to see Chicago
Sat, Oct 31  11:30 AM pthomas Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
Our guide, Ariela, was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Knew so much about her great city - more than just a job. This is a must do in Chicago, not just for the food but the information about the neighborhoods, architecture and what to do while you're there. Do this early on in your trip so you can go back and visit the neighborhoods and restaurants!

Fantastic

The whole activity was done wonderfully. The food stops were very interesting and varied. The walk was the right length. The tour guide was nice, informative and fun. The price was reasonable. I have been recommending it to people right and left since I went. I am very interested in trying some of your other tours based on this one.
