Tour on Saturday was lots of fun. We enjoyed restaurants visited and sights. Our guide Kent was friendly and knowledgeble. I will recommend to friends.
- Edi Girata - Chicago, Tuesday, April 30, 2013
Best day in the city ever!
I cannot recommend this tour highly enough! We had a fabulous time and learned so much about Chicago, the spice trade, tea, history of deep dish pizza, the making of evoo, how pastrami is made, etc. It was a pleasure to explore shops we would not have found otherwise. The esteemed Tom Erd himself spoke at The Spice House. Who knew that tasting oils at Old Town Oil would be such a delight?

Jessica was our tour guide and she was energetic, articulate and witty! We had a nice time and she provided a nice balance of architecture, food history and other anecdotal stories to keep us interested. We will definitely do another tour. Thanks Jessica and keep up the great work.
- Mark Downey - Chicago, Tuesday, October 09, 2012
Chicago Food Tour
Despite the extremely high temperatures, our guide, Nicole, remained well-poised. We enjoyed not only the 'tastes' at each stop, but also the information at each stop as well as the neighborhood tidbits/history.

Chicago Food Tour
The food tour was a really fun experience that I took my dad to for his birthday and he really enjoyed it as well. We had a great guide who shared interesting information about the city. We have lived in the Chicago suburbs our entire lives and still got some new information, which was nice. I reccommend this to anyone looking for something fun and interesting to do!

North Side Chicago Food Tour
Heather was our tour guide and she did a great job. She was enthusiast and great at explaining the history and store products. I definitely recommend food tours from experience to friends.
- Alicia Williams - north tour in Chicago, Thursday, May 17, 2012
Great time!
I did this a few days ago and really enjoyed it. Got a great tour of the near-north neighborhood, some delicious food, and a good history lesson. Not too much walking. Would definitely recommend.

Bucktown / Wicker Park Tour
My Husband and I were given a gift certificate for your tour and we had a very fun time. The places we stopped were all unique and they are stops that we would go back to. Our tour guide was informative and made the day that much more enjoyable. Thank you.

Jess was fantastic! My husband received this as a gift and we had a great time. The food was great and we learned a lot. I would recommend this to anyone!
- Cathy Pedersen - Gold Coast, Saturday, October 22, 2011
Chicago Wicker Park
Great tour, even for native Chicagoans! Carrie, the guide, was pleasant, conversive, and very knowledgable. The restaurants visited provided ample-sized tastings, and a great variety of foods, both savory and sweet. And, the architectural aspect of the neighborhood tour was an added bonus! We'd highly recommend this to locals and those from out-of-town!
- Krys - Bucktown/Wicker Park, Tuesday, October 18, 2011
Chicago Near North Tour
The 7 stops on our tour were delightful with the exception of the Fudge Pot. The staff was aloof. They didn't seem to want us there.

- Marianne Trofimuk - Bucktown/Wicker Park, Wednesday, September 28, 2011
Downtown Chicago Food Tour
We loved it! Jess was a wonderful tour guide, cute and bubbly, with a wealth of Chicago lore. The stops were very nice and we will be sure to visit the ships in Old Town for spices and EVO's.
- Rae Lee Riggs - Chicago, Sunday, September 18, 2011
Food Tour of Chicago
We had a wonderful time on the walking/eating tour in Bucktown and Wicker Park. The variety of food/drink allowed us to try things we would never have gotten. Carrie was a wonderful guide with much enthusiasm and knowledge of the areas. We have wholeheartedly recommended it to others already!!
- John and Becky Helmers - Bucktown/Wicker Park, Tuesday, August 02, 2011
A Great Food Tour
This was a great tour. Never boring. Our guide was awesome. We loved every part of it. My husband has a peanut allergy and we were impressed with the adjustments made in the tour for him. He was worried he wouldn't be able to try everything, but he was able to have something at every stop - we are appreciative of that. We will definitely recommend this tour to others and are thinking about getting it for our parents as a Christmas gift! Thank you for a wonderful day.
- Molly Weener - Wicker Park / Bucktown, Tuesday, July 26, 2011

The tour guide was excellent!!! Most of the stops on tour were good. The Oil store and spice store was not a favorite of ours. We enjoyed the day!!

Near North Tour....Awesome
We received this as a gift from our daughter. We didn't know what to expect and I thought my husband would be bored. Boy was I wrong!!!!! All the stops are wonderful and I learned so much...especially about tea!!!! Our guide, Arianna, was soooooo great. Lots of energy, fun and not only was knowledgable but seemed to enjoy what she was doing. The stories about the neighborhoods and houses we went by were GREAT!! I think I'm going to purchase this and go again with my daughter!!!!! I've lived here my entire life and still learned so much!!!
- Patty - Lombard, Friday, October 15, 2010
Awesome!
I learned so much and tasted such a wide variety of food. The tour showed me and taught me so much about Chicago. It far exceeded my every expectation. Thanks to our wonderful guide Ariana!

- Joe Catalano - Bucktown Wicker Park, Sunday, September 26, 2010

Amazing! We learned so much, we had AMAZING food, and had a lot of fun! Our tour guide was the best tour guide ever - super friendly, knowledgable, nice, patient, funny. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone! I went back to ALL the places on this near north tour the day after and plan on continuing to do so ~
- Diana - Near North Tour, Tuesday, September 14, 2010
Near North Tour Absolutely Superb!
My girlfriend and I went on the Near North Tour on August 10 and it was absolutely terrific! Our tour guide, Ariana, was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the history of the Northside neighborhoods we toured as well as the eateries we visited. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone that is intrigued by the Chicago culture and enjoys good food. Check it out! You won't regret it.
- Laurence Jackson - Chicago, Friday, August 13, 2010
Near North Food Tour
We didn't know what quite to expect and we had an exceptional time. We enjoyed the food, the information about the history and architecture of Chicago, and the variety of restaurants/shops we toured. It was a great day!
- Michelle Lewis - Near North Food Tour, Wednesday, August 04, 2010
Bucktown Wicker Park Food Tour
This tour was fun and very enjoyable. Our tour guide Kent' did a great job with the history of the Bucktown Wicker Park area and how it has changed over the years. The places that were listed for our tour, were not the same ones that we went to. I was very disappointed with that, as I had researched all of the stops prior to going on this tour and really looked forward to them. I will say that 4 out of the 6 places that we did go to were excellent. I would say that Hot Chocolate and Sultans Market were the best and that going to I Cream was a waste of time.
- R.Z. - Chicago, Monday, June 28, 2010
Review of Near North Tour
This tour was everything we hoped for and more. Great food stops, lots of info about Gold Coast, Old Town and Lincoln Park neighborhoods. Our tour guide, Chris, was personable, knowledgeable, and fun.
- Tom Butler - DeKalb, IL, Saturday, June 26, 2010
Near North Tour
This tour was more than just food, it was informative with the history and architecture of Chicago. I enjoyed the oil and vinegar stop in particular. I purchased this tour as a gift for someone, I highly recommend this tour! Arianna was amazing, if you can I'd ask for her as your tour guide.
- Claudia Guerrero - Chicago, Friday, November 20, 2009
Near North Tour
The food tour was absolutely great. All the stops were unique and excellent. As well, our tour guide, Ariana, was friendly and extremely knowledgeable in all things food, architecture, and Chicago. I'd recommend that anyone, whether local from out of town, spend a few hours with this fun, enlightening, and of course tasty activity.
- Jay Olman - Chicago, Tuesday, October 06, 2009

It was great. The tour guide was exceptionally informative and helpful. The only thing is we were supposed to stop at Ethel's Chocolate Lounge and did not.
