| My 21 year old daughter and I both enjoyed this tour. It is a great way to find out about local areas outside of downtown. All the places we visited had character as well as good food. We were actually stuffed, and ended up taking some food home. It also had a good balance of walking around and visiting set establishments. I had just taken the Near North tour in April, and throughly enjoyed both. Highly recommended! | ||||||

| My husband and I signed up for this tour on a strong recommendation from friends who had been to Chicago and thought this was the best tour they had taken while there. We concur, and therefore, would also highly recommend this tour to others. It was an excellent way to begin our four days in Chicago as it gave us a great introduction to some of the neighbourhoods in Chicago and a taste of some of the rich culture, history, and the food of this fabulous city. We were very impressed with our guide who was not only very knowledgeable but equally delightful in her presentations at each destination and in responding to our questions throughout the tour. She was very professional and personable. We enjoyed all of the stops along the way but were particularly pleased with the visit to the tea shop, the oil and vinegar shop, and the very delicious finish at Bacino's for a slice of the best stuffed pizza (with an option to slide into the lounge, hop onto a bar stool ,and order a cold one with the other tourists in the group)! My husband and I also want to relay how much we appreciated the wonderful facts and anecdotes Arijiana (sp?) shared with us regarding the history of some of the buildings we stopped to notice along the way . I am going to look for the "Miracle tea maker "online as I have learned that what I am drinking (from a teabag) is actually tea dust!! We learned a lot and had the bonus of sampling the best in reuben sandwiches, chocolate, pizza and much more.... a wonderful tour that made us aware of and appreciate the professionalism, creativity, high standards and pride evident in the merchants/entrepeneurs of these neighbourhoods who opened their doors to us. Take the tour early in your visit and enjoy! | ||||||

| Even though we had read many positive reviews, I was not sure this was something our group would go for. Was I ever wrong. I took the plunge and purchased tickets for the group (7 women). We all agree that we saw and did many wonderful things in Chicago but the Food Tour was at the top. Arianna, our guide, was an impressive young woman as well as an interactive, well informed tour guide. By the end of the tour we felt like she was family. The stops were impressive and we were all very full at the end. Some stops at first glance seemed like they might not be that interesting, but all turned out to be new and fun experiences. Please make room in your schedule for this food tour (we took Near North) or the other one offered. It is a fantastic experience! | ||||||

| Our guide, Jennifer, was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable not only about the food tastings, but the neighborhoods as well. It was a most enjoyable way to spend a few hours in Chicago and I would highly reccommend it to anyone. | ||||||

| If you'd like to try a selection of different Chicagoan eateries in a short space of time this is trip for you. An authentic Chicago dog for starter sets the scene for the remaining tastings, which are definitely enough for most people's lunch. And it is not all about the food, there is a chance to find out a bit of the history and architecture of the area. Whether you're from the city or out of the country there is something for you to discover on this trip. | ||||||

| This tour was one of the best ways to 'break down' the overwhelming task of experiencing Chicago for the first time! The Cultural Walking Tour was an excellent MICRO way of understanding and appreciating the amazing complexity of the Second City in a fun, personal way. Besides the excellent choices of food and architectural stops, the talented tour guide was enthusiastic, responsive, knowledgable and eager to make it fun for everybody in the group. The hospitable store owners were willing to share their knowledge and time with the group as we invaded their space... and I plan to use my coupons online in the near future! I liked the fact that the owners were steeped in the tradition of their chosen profession - no fast food here! | ||||||

| Kent did a great job with our group. My group was made up of nine coworkers all who are local, and then a few out-of-towners. Kent was able to do a great job of giving the basic information for those not familiar with the area, but also to add in some additional information for those who have been there many times before. The amount of food given was almost too much! It was way more food than we expected, but extremely good. You get your money's worth! Overall we had a great time and really enjoyed the tour. We would love it if Chicago Food Planet would expand their tours to other neighborhoods! | ||||||

Enjoyable Tour

| It was great to walk around the Gold Coast and Lincoln Park neighborhoods, which I might not have otherwise done. I enjoyed looking at the architecture and learning a little bit of the history of the area. Kate seemed a knowledgeable guide and the shops were interesting, especially the oil shop. The chocolate shop with the toffee was good too, but I could have eaten more! I think there needs to be more food tastings however. The Catering Shop was a bit of a disappointment with just humus and Gouda cheese cubes - something different would have been good. All in all it's worth your time and you'll learn some new things. | ||||||

| The Near North Tour was so informative and fun. Our tour guide Kate was AMAZING. She was so personable and articulate, guiding us along the sunny streets of chicago. I have lived here in the city for almost five years and was delighted to discover many new sights and tastes! | ||||||

| We had a blast on the Food Plant's Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Walking Tour. I can't recommend it enough. My mom and I expected to eat good food, get a sampling of the northern neighborhoods and get some good exercise but we got that and even more! Our tour guide Nicole transformed our understanding of the cultural climate of Chicago by enlightening us to the foods, the housing, the architecture, the sights, the people, and the beauty found in these neighborhoods. For 3 hours I felt like I was a Chicago native. I highly recommend this tour...their is no other way to get this kind of hospitality, knowledge of the culture and sample great foods and drinks than through this experience. I felt like someone invited me into their home and wined and dined me. I have already to my friends and family members about the tour and have shared some of the spices, oils and chocolates I brought back with me. I loved it so much I find myself trying to convince them to take a trip to Chicago just for the tour! Thank you for offering an affordable and unique way to experience the city. | ||||||

Fantastic Near North Tour

| My husband and I attended the near north tour with another couple while on vacation. We loved it. It was informative, fun, and yummy. We liked several of the places so much that we went back on another day and used coupons that we were given on the tour. Our favorite places were the Spice Merchant (with a huge variety of fresh spices and employees that could answer all our cooking questions) and the Fudge Pot (a fudge and chocolate shop with amazing toffee). It was a great experience and we will be attending the other food tour they offer when we return to Chicago. | ||||||

| For locals this is a great activity to learn more about our city and a fun activity with visiting guests. The tour provided a glimps of the city culture, history of the neighborhoods, and architecture. The local shops provided a wealth of information and one does not need to be a culinary professional to enjoy this savory experience. | ||||||
