This tour was everything I expected it to be and more! Emily, our tour guide, was great . We learned so much about food and the neighborhoods we traveled through. I highly recommend it and will be going back to experience their other tour.
Could be better Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour

About half of the places visited were wonderful and the others really lacked in content. Tea Gschwendner and the Spice House were the best. I think this is what is expected - have a little lecture about the product and a small tasting. The worst was Catering Chocolate. Just to pop in for two tastes of cheese had no substance. Even at the Fudge Pot where the manager did give a little bit of a lecture and passed around the cacao pod, dropped the ball by not explaining the difference between white, milk and dark chocolate - this is real basic stuff. I think Chicago Food Planet has a great concept but just needs to work on the actual content of each stop.
Fun walk even in a rainy day Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour

Nikki was a fantastic tour guide, pointing out all the interesting architecture on the walk, answering questions, and giving insight into the Chicago food scene. We never felt rushed, even though I'm sure we were on a schedule. She maintained her enthusiasm, even as the rain continued to pick up and everyone got soaked. We had a great time and would consider one of these tours again when we are in Chicago.
Fun and interesting, plus tasty!! Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour

We enjoyed our walk with our friendly informative guide. We learned a bit about the history of the neighborhoods that we walked through and some of the houses we saw. We learned some neat facts about spices, tea, olive oil, the chocolate making process, etc. We met some interesting folks as we walked, and we saw some parts of Chicago that we might otherwise never have seen. We walked at a comfortable pace. The overall distance was reasonable, but we covered enough ground to see a good portion of a few different neighborhoods. Plus we sampled some delicious food along the way. By the time we were done we were definitely full. Highly recommended!

The tour was well organized, with a very fun loving friendly guide. All of the 10 food options that we visited were all very nice, and tasty . It was a well rounded tour that goes to many different neighborhoods, with interesting descriptions of the houses and areas. I would highly recommend it to locals and out of towners, who want to learn some history of Chicago, and enjoy some of the great food that Chicago has to offer!!
Interesting and fun, even in the pouring rain! Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour

Our annual girls weekend in Chicago always centers around food, exploring the city, and shopping and this tour let us do all three! Nicki, our guide, was wonderfully enthusiastic and knowledgeable, both about the food and the neighborhoods we walked through. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the stops and tastings (deli, chocolate shops, spice shop, tea shop, oil/vinegar shop, heart healthy pizza restaurant) and went home with heavy suitcases. We've heard they will be offering a new tour soon and we plan to do that on our trip next year!

Exercise, education and Excellent Food Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour
Fri, Sep 12 12:00 PM	dwuellner	Male	60-69	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family Without Children
The majority of the three and a half hour tour is spent walking through he Gold Coast, Old Town and Lincoln Park. Frequent stops for short stories, historical perspective and, of course, tasting make the journey less a workout and more a stroll. However, at the end of the tour you will know that you walked a long way. The selection of places to stop and taste allows for every type of food preference, as well as, a few pleasant surprises. I plan to take this tour again in the future. It's that much fun.

Best of 3 tours we had in Chicago Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour
Fri, Sep 12 11:00 AM	tonylau149	Male	30-39	International Tourist(s)	Group of Friends
Me and friends joined the Food Planet Tasting, Segway and Wendella boat tours. Although these tours are totally different in nature, and they are all fine tours respectively, I think Food Planet Tasting tour is the best value of all. One star is deducted because the our tour group was quite big in size and we had a little difficulty squeezing into a few places that we visit.

My sister and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Emily was very friendly and was willing to answer any questions we had about the places we visited, walked by or how to get to transportation. I would definitely recommend this tour and would love to take it again.
We had a great time Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour
Fri, Sep 12 11:00 AM	jehalverson	Female	40-49	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family Without Children
It was lots of fun as we expected from the reviews. It was cloudy and kinda rainy but, worth the effort of going. Emily was great. It is fun to hear the Chicago history on the way to each place we stopped. Loved the tea store, though every stop was great. I can't wait to go back to Chicago and do the new food tour that is starting soon. Eat breakfast but, not a big one. There is plenty to fill you up. It was good exercise to walk the tour and then walk back to purchase items afterwards. Put on good walking shoes. It was fun to get to know new people. I hope the lady from the Houston, TX area went back to an intact house after hurricane Ike.
only one criticism Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour

participants should be able to buy items on the tour as it is sometimes not possibble to return to the shops in one's own time due to time constraints, etc
