A Must-Do tour! Best part of my trip to Chicago!!
Fri, Jul 31, 09   11:00 AM bradoister Male 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
My 3 friends from Philadelphia and I did the tour and this is hands-down one of the best tours of any kind that I've ever been on . The tour was informative, interesting, detailed, imaginative, full of great food and lots of fun! Not only do you learn about the wonderful food that they serve on the tour but you get the detailed story behind the establishment that makes it. On top of everything else, you also learn about the neighborhoods and some of the houses and their unique architecture. It is a great way to introduce you to the real Chicago outside of the typical tourist spots. You get a coupon book on the tour with offers for the places where we stopped as well as many of the local businesses in the neighborhood. Our tour guide (Jennifer) really made the tour special. She was enthusiastic, friendly, knowledgeable and very generous with the samples on the tour (which was very much appreciated). She was very interested in the tour participants as well and was quick to get to know everyone and make them feel like fast friends. I was quite sad when the tour was over but walked away having a fantastic experience all around. I can't say enough great things about this tour. I would recommend it to everyone! 10 out of 10!!!!!!

Entertainment, education, good food, and fun

My friends and I had a wonderful time with our charming and well-informed guide. We chewed and sniffed and tasted and munched and swallowed--through the best Reuben I've ever had, followed by a most welcome glass of special iced tea, then chocolate, then a lesson on different kinds of cinnamon (you didn't know there were any, did you?) in the most fragrant of settings, followed by tastings of balsamic vinegar and flavored olive oils that were good enough to chug, a bit of WI cheese and fresh hummus--and ending with Chicago-style stuffed pizza. Wow. In between we learned about clever and outrageous real-estate deals, historical architecture, and area history. Try it--you'll like it!

We Loved It!

Arianna (sp?) was our enthusiastic, articulate, informative, and darling guide. We have done many tours in many cities; this tour exceeded our expectations and was a delight for all of our senses. The merchants were attentive; the food was varied and excellent. We plan to shop at these stores next time we visit Chicago (November). Thank you. We happily recommend this excursion.

A great way to get out and see Chicago neighborhoods. Plenty of fabulous food and interesting architecture. A tour guide who was eager to please and full of information. I can truly say this was worth the money. Thank you for showing us another view of Chicago. We would never have seen many of these places on our own.

I absolutely loved the Bucktown/Wicker Park tour!
Thu, Jul 30, 09   11:30 AM cprovencio Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Jess, our tour guide was wonderful. She made the tour fun, and was extremely informative. The food was delicious and plentiful. I was expecting small sample sizes, but was surprised at the amount of food we were given. I could hardly finish eating towards the end of the tour. I especially enjoyed learning the history of the two communities, Bucktown and Wicker Park. The architecture was amazing, and Jess was incredibly informative. The only change I would recommend is allowing more time - maybe four hours vs. three. Otherwise, I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Chicago area. I know I would take it again!

With 6 members of family from Florida, Maine and Ohio, we really enjoyed the tour. Pacing was good, and selection of establishments was superb. Locals remarked how unique these were! Tea, spice and oil were tops!

A great activity that gives the perfect introduction to Chicago. Works on many different levels. Knowledgeable and friendly guide, fabulously varied tastings, and some hidden gems. Would recommend it to anyone.

Wonderful way to spend three hours in Chicago!!
Wed, Jul 29, 09   12:00 PM TrishKrause Female 40-49 Unspecified Family With Children
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone going to Chicago for a few days. Our tour guide was very knowledgable and we had a lot of fun. The food was all good and we would have never tried these places had we not known about them. We went back and visited three of them later in our stay and were very pleased with the food again. The three hours went by very quickly! You will NOT need to eat anything before hand.

Bucktown and Wicker Park
Wed, Jul 29, 09   11:30 AM lynnadams Female 60-69 International Tourist(s) Individual
Very enjoyable. Great food tastings (almost too much food in the short space of time!). Leader Kent was very knowledgeable about the area. It was a good opportunity to see a part of Chicago I would otherwise have not explored in the short time I was there.

Recently did the Bucktown food tour with a group of three women. Each one of us enjoyed it throughly. I thought the food portions were very plentiful, interesting and varied. The historical part of the tour was interesting and timed perfectly. I'd highly recommend the tour.

The food was excellent and varied. The Tour guide was knowledgable and personable. I felt there was too much description of restaurants that we did not eat at. This time should have been used for more decription and history of the area. I would attend another tour by this group.

We Had A Great Time

Kent was an excellent tour guide. Unfortunately, we had to bug out early, as we needed to pick up my daughter earlier than expected. I'm sure we will be back again next year and hope to take this tour again. Thanks for the great time.
