My co-workers and I very much enjoyed the walking tour of the Old Town area. Learned a lot from Nicky about the culture and cuisine of the area. One suggestion: you are not given time to shop at each stop, but are advised to come back later. Our schedule did not allow us to return. Would be beneficial to tour... more

This was probably my favorite activity during our trip to Chicago. Our guide, Kent was humorous, informative and had great rapport with all the shop owners/managers. We even got extra bonus things to sample at two of the places. All the food was absolutely delicious and you were full by the end of the tour. The time at each place... more

My husband and I went on the Bucktown/Wicker Park Food Tour with our son, his wife, their 3 year old son and their 1 year old daughter in a stroller. This was a fun and informative tour. Our guide was very patient with us all and very knowledgable of the area. The walking is at a pace anyone can handle.... more

We spent a wonderful afternoon with our adorable guide Jessie learning about the food, architecture and history of the Gold Coast, Old Town and Lincoln Park! The pacing of this tour is obviously well-thought out. The tastings are interspersed with leisurely walks and informative talks not to mention the needed restroom break when it was needed. The tastings were all... more

Bucktown/Wicker Park were not high on my neighborhoods to visit on this weekend trip to Chicago with friends but so, so happy we did the Food Tour with Ben as our guide. He kept our group interested for the full... more

The Gold Coast/Old Town/Lincoln Park tour with Nicki was fun. We never would have found these local treasures on our own. We will be back next year to take the Bucktown/Wicker Park tour. Linda and Kevin more

Just took the Old Town/Lincoln Park tour this past Saturday and it was awesome! I've lived in Chicago area all my life and had only been to 1 of the 7 stops on the tour so it even opened my eyes to some new places. Great variety of stops, cool areas to walk through, and the food was great! Nicky,... more

I have taken both in the last week. They went above and beyond to help me when I was late - care and concern beyond the kin. These are both just amazing tours. That was just the foundation of great information and food tasting. If you love food and history and architecture, these tours are for you. Go with a... more
