This was so worth it!!! Without this tour i would have never eaten a real Chicago style dog and boy would I of missed out!!! Our guide, Carrie, was very friendly and she did a wonderful job of intertwining the amazing history of the area and architecture into the tour. Every stop had a new amazing thing to eat ;)... More

My brother, who lives in Georgia, came to visit me in Chicago for his 21st birthday. I wanted to do more than the normal Mag Mile/Deep Dish touristy activities. When I saw the Chicago Food Planet walking food tour of Wicker Park/Bucktown, I believed I'd found what I was looking for. I was absolutely thrilled with the outcome. Not only... More

I highly recommend this tour! Great way to see 2 neighborhoods, sample authentic Chicago eats and get a real feel for the city. Our tour guide Martha was terrific! First stop is a Jewish deli where we each got half a Reuben sandwich. Second stop was a slice of deep dish Chicago style pizza at Lou Malnati's. Delish!! We were... More

We took the Near North Food Tour and it was a perfect introduction to the neighbourhoods we walked through as visitors to the city- a great mix of anecdotes and city history. The food was really tasty as well, balanced between savoury dishes, beverages, and sweet snacks. The Near North tour is a great way to discover neighbourhoods in the... More

My wife and I bought these tour tickets to celebrate Christmas with our kids. What a great way to spend time together, have some fun, eat some food, and learn some history and architecture. My original expectation was to sample food items from various choice restaurants. However, what I actually experienced was far greater! The selection of restaurants/shops had variety... More

Gina did a great job getting our group around the neighborhood on a very busy Saturday in the city. The food choices were varied and plentiful with my favorites being the chocolate drink from Hot Chocolate, roasted veggie salad from Goddess and the Grocer, and the ice cream from iCream. Seeing all the fascinating architecture was fun, too. More

My wife and I booked this tour as it ended up being a wedding gift from my sister. We didn't really know what to expect going into it. As being from Chicago, we thought that this experience would be beneficial to us since we rarely visit Chinatown despite living only a couple miles away. After the 3+ hour tour walking... More

I loved this tour! Our guide was pleasant and informative. She pointed out neighborhood landmarks as we toured and she also explained some history behind each restaurant/store we stopped at. Great tour! I love to take photo's and was able to do this at a good pace and keep up with the tour. The food tastings were delicious and more... More
