My boyfriend and I went on the Wicker Park/ Bucktown food tour on September 18th and loved it! Filled with food, history, culture, architecture, politics, and local insight, the tour was an absolute highlight of our trip to Chicago.

We did the Food tour on Sept. 5, 09 and found it very informative and interesting. Even the other people on the tour were funny and friendly.

We did the Northern tour and it was very good. Excellent for taking pictures of unique architecture in the old part of the city. I wished we did the Bucktown too, but it was not available at the time so maybe next time. Highly recommend. more

We did the Bucktown / Wicker Park tour and it was great. Jess was our guide and she was very friendly and informative. I only booked this tour since it ranked so high on this site as an attraction and my wife was not too happy. We both enjoy cooking so I thought it would be good. Well, we were... more
