My husband and I will go to a city and in the beginning of the trip we will do a food tour. That way you are able to go back to neat places you probably wouldn't find on your own. We have experienced food tours in many towns and I must say this was a great one. The guides were... More

I honestly had doubts going into the Near North Food tasting tour but those doubts quickly went away after meeting our tour guide Sadie. She made the tour fun, entertaining, interesting and worth every penny! The food was a good complement to the insight and information we received. I will recommend this tour to everyone and anyone that wants to... More

We took the Near North Food Tasting & Cultural Tour this past weekend with Heather. This was a wonderful experience. All of the food stops were excellent and Heather was a terrific guide. We loved all the food on the tour and the neighborhoods were beautiful. I would recommend this tour to everyone visiting Chicago.

This tour was so much fun. Heather, our guide, was delightfully entertaining, personable, and informative. The food was delicious and varied. We learned so much about the area as well as tea, olive oils, balsamic vinegars, spices, etc. We walked, we ate, we laughed, we learned. I would highly recommend this tour!

A great way to visit and learn about some of Chicago's neighborhoods, while also sampling various taste treats along the way. There was a small educational component to each place we visited, which also made it entertaining. If you have the opportunity to hear from the owner of the Spice Shop, you are in for a real treat. He could... More

Had a great time participating in the Near North Food and Walking Tour on Mother's Day. Heather was our tour guide, and she did a great job explaining food and the history behind the neighborhoods in the Gold Coast and Old Town. Great guide with a great personality! Perfect activity for someone who is visiting Chicago, or for someone who... More

My Mother, cousin and I had the best time on the Chicago food tour thanks to our wonderful guide Heather. She was a ray of sunshine on an otherwise cold, damp, windy day. She kept us highly entertained and informed through out the three hour tour, so much so that we didn't even care about the weather. The food was... More

absolutely phenomenal experience with Kent. The food was amazing, especially Hot Chocolate and iCream. I have never been to bucktown and after this tour, I will definitely making a return trip. I almost wish we had more time to spend to walk around during the tour. The architecture, up and coming vibe and plethora of restaurants and bars makes it... More
