The tour might actually be good, but scheduling it is a complete nightmare. They make you jump through several hoops and can cancel your tour at any time. We made our reservations, then received an e-mail several days later saying that the tour was already full (even though their Web site said differently when we initially booked the tour). They asked for three alternate dates on a weekday instead of a weekend (what a joke). Service people are uncooperative and arrogant. I wouldn't recommend these people to anyone.

My wife and I took the tour in earlier June and were in a small group of 4 with the guide making 5. The food tour starts at George's hotdogs and continues to visit some great stops in Bucks town. The food was fantastic and we felt that we were enjoying authentic Chicago gems in the company of a well informed and passionate guide. The tour combined great food with local knowledge and particular architectural highlights. A fine 3 hours however the food stops can begin to fell daunting as you certainly enjoy a large amount of food, all of which was excellent. Favourites included the hotdog, hot chocloate (you have to try it to understand) and the magical i-cream! We really recommended this is not missed.

My wife and I took the 11AM Near North Tour recently. Our guide was energetic and knowledgeable. We learned a little history, a little architecture and tasted some great food. A good way to start to learn about Chicago neighborhoods. My wife is a serious cook and she plans to order from a couple of the shops we visited. We now have a new favorite Chicago pizza.

My group of four women vacationing in Chicago had a fabulous time on the Food Planet Tour of the Gold Coast, Old Town, and Lincoln Park. Despite the rain which accompanied the entire tour, this experience was fun, upbeat, entertaining, and enlightening. I cannot say enough about our fantastic guide, Arianna, a very knowledgeable young lady who made this outing the wonderful time it was. Our group enjoyed stops at seven establishments for food, beverages, and astonishingly great information about food, architecture, culture, and the history of Chicago. Kudos to Arianna and Food Planet and thank you for this unique taste of the Windy City!
