The food tour through Bucktown/Wicker Park was absolutely fantastic! The different foods & drinks that we sampled were great! Kent, our tour guide, had a great personality and was very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this tour to others!

We really enjoyed this tour - learned a lot, had some great food, and our guide, Jenn, was super about answering all our questions & making suggestions about what to do & see in Chicago. We will do another tour when we come back to Chicago, and recommend it to our friends!

Informative and interesting tour
Sat, Jul 11  11:00 AM mibarra Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Individual
The tour was very interesting and the attention to architecture and the stories behind it was entertaining and informative. The shops we visited were places that might be called unusual for most tourists, but definitely worth seeing. There was less food than implied by the advertising, but certainly enough that you wont go hungry. It was very tempting to shop during the tour and unfortunately when it was over most of the places I wanted to go back to were already closed, but besides that the tour guide and store employees were very knowledgeable, receptive to questions, and quite personable. I would recommend this tour as a way of getting to know a few of the different neighborhoods, especially if you're from out of town.

Enjoyable
Fri, Jul 10  12:30 PM JsReyes06 Female 20-29 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
The tour was enjoyable. Despite the unpredictable weather conditions, I enjoyed walking the streets of Chicago. All of the places we visited were tasty. However, the places where we were able to receive a quick history or trivia were more interesting than others where we were only there to grab a taste and leave. As a tourist who is interested in learning the city, I would prefer some interaction with the owners of the restaurant or at least someone from the restaurant who was knowledgeable of its unique history. Other than that, I enjoyed the tour immensely.

The tour leader was very knowledgeable about the entire tour and was able to answer all questions. The food samples, while small in proportion, were enough to fill me up for lunch. Great tour of the city.

My wife and I had a great time on the food tour, Carolyn was a great tour guide. We enjoyed all the places we visited and went back to purchase items from four of the places on the tour. We can not wait to tell our friends about the tour.

Well worth the time and money
Fri, Jul 10  12:30 PM LizRoth Female 50-59 International Tourist(s) Couple on a Date
My boyfriend and I absolutely loved this tour. We met some wonderful people and our tour guide Caroline was very informative, enthusiastic and fun. We learned some interesting things about oil and tea, tasted some great food (especially the pizza at the end) and really enjoyed the walk through the Gold Coast and Old Town. If it wasn't for this tour we probably would not have seen this part of town. The architecture is fascinating and we saw some beautiful homes (so it wasn't just about food.) The best part was at the end when you got to have a beer tasting after the pizza for only $3.00 for people on the tour only. Thanks again we loved it and are definitely going to hang out in this part of the town the next time we visit.

Nice walking tour w/tasty food
Fri, Jul 10  12:30 PM gp0121 Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
This is a good way to see some Chicago neighborhoods. Particularly enjoyed stops at The Spice House, Old Town Oil and the pizza parlor. The biggest drawback is that there isn't any time allowed to shop! I'd consider eliminating the chocolate/fudge store (which is yummy but not as informative) and the catering place (again, yummy but not informative), and giving people a few minutes to buy products at the other venues. Overall, I definitely recommend. Our tourguide (Caroline) had lots of energy and a clear grasp of the subject matter.

Don't Miss This Tour!

Shane and company have planned a very fun tour that will delight all enthusiasts of food, architecture and walking. Jessie was a knowledgeable and cheery tour guide who taught us the insider's insights to the Chicago neighborhoods through which she led us. I, for one, came away with increased knowledge about parts of this great city, added appreciation for Chicago's culinary traditions, and some excellent souvenirs from Tea Geschwendner and Old Town Oil. I certainly plan to patronize the other businesses online, too! And during a future visit to Chicago, I'll be sure to take the other Chicago Food Planet tour. Thank you, Shane, Jessie, and all the merchants who made me such a happy tour participant!

Best tour of Chicago we've taken!
Fri, Jul 10  12:00 PM madsmorrill Female 30-39 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
The tour was a well-balanced mix of food and history with a knowledgeable guide. We enjoyed all of the destinations, and returned to many locations the day after to do some shopping. It was the best part of our Chicago trip, and we've been recommending it to everyone we know!

Good Fun, Good Food!
Fri, Jul 10  12:00 PM ClareMcCann Female 40-49 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
Despite the pouring down rain, we had a fantastic afternoon with a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide ( the lovely Ben!). As well as finding out and tasting a great variety of food, we learnt about the Chicago neighbourhoods, architecture and history. Nice touches, like introducing all members of the tour and small numbers in the group. Good info from Ben about other tourist opportunities in the city, which we asked him about rather than him offering. Don't eat breakfast before you go on this tour!!!!!! Excellent value for money folks, would go again and would recommend to friends and family.

Great way to see the neighborhoods of Chicago
Fri, Jul 10  12:00 PM DonnaBurrows Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
I was hesitant to book this tour, even tho I read some great reviews on TripAdvisor. I was very happy with the tour, and my concern about too much walking was unfounded. The day after our tour, my husband and I returned to one of the shops that was on the tour, and used the discount coupon provided us by our tour guide. We happen to be in the shop when another Near North Food Tasting Tour came in, and I observed the tour guide. In my opinion, she lacked the zest that our guide, Jesse, brought to the tour. Most of our tour was during a rain shower, and I doubt anyone in our tour even cared. Jesse was well informed, animated and had a keen sense of humor. I believe she made the tour what it was....lots of fun!

Great way to see the neighborhoods!!

Our daughter just moved to Chicago/Lincoln Park area last month. We thought this would be a great way to explore the Bucktown/ Wicker Park neighborhoods. Not only did we enjoy all the delicious and unique food tastings but the cultural tidbits were also very interesting!!
