Chicago

We had a wonderful day tasting some of Chicago's amazing food!Our guide, was so knowledgeable and super fun! She shared lots of little known facts about Chicago and about the delicious foods we enjoyed. My husband grew up in Chicago and loved hearing new details about his hometown. Not only was the tour delicious but it also included several stops to enjoy Chicago's art and architecture. We can't wait to come back for another tour! Thanks for the perfect day!

Review: Secret Food Tours Chicago

Marian Stone

Chicago: We surprised our kids with a trip to Chicago for Christmas. We traveled with 2 other families. Upon arrival, I booked the Secret Food Tour. It turned out to be a highlight of our trip. Our guide was amazing. Not only did he know of great place to eat, he took us to other place to see think we might have missed. One was the Cultural Institute. The food choices were amazing. We ended up back at Gino's Pizza. We ended with free admission to the Chicago Art Institute where we got to take in many masterpieces and recreate some Ferris Bueller shots! I would highly, highly recommend this tour! It helped us get our bearings on where we were in the city, and it was an amazing fun time!

We took Secret Food Tours in Madrid and everything was carried out according to the plan. If you like historical sites and sampling local dishes, you will enjoy it very much. The guide was very funny and lively. He's also very patient with seniors in the group who were slower in keeping up with the walking pace. Kind guide, good food!

Billie Ramsey

This tour was a great way to get out of the tourist areas of the city. We visited 6 different establishment, all of which were homegrown in Chicago. Our guide was excellent, filled with wonderful Chicago information. The food tastings are all incredible! This tour truly exceeded my expectations!

Jerome Mallett

We could not have asked for a better experience! The guide was amazing! not only for the awesome food he introduced us to, but also for educating us on Hong Kong customs and culture. It was the perfect balance. Our family of five and one other couple spent an enjoyable 3+ hours eating, walking and learning about the wonderful city and its people. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone!

Pamela Graf

This food tour is just fantastic! We went to 6 stops each with mouth-watering dishes.We also went to interesting places that you would never find yourself. The guide did a fantastic job of explaining details of the food and wine. We would thoroughly recommend this trip to anyone.

Steve Figueroa

The guide was an amazing who provided so much insight into the history of the city and how it shapes where it is at today. And the FOOD!!! Amazing! It was so much fun to experience Chicago food like a local and go to places we would have never found on our own. We would recommend it to anyone!

If you are headed to Chicago, want to learn a little of Chicago's history, see great architecture and eat great food along the way, then this is the tour for you. We were in town for a family weekend and this tour was perfect. It rained, all day, but our guide made sure the rain did not dampen the mood of our tour. She went with it and keep us dry by making slight modifications to the tour. Did I say, it rained, and rained, and rained. But we had the best time, we ate, we laughed, and even gained 2 new sisters for the day, Carrie our guide and Mono(I am sure I spelled that wrong) from Australia. Who taught us some Aussie interesting facts, like, about drop bears?*? Here's where I tell you it rained. I guess what I am trying to let you know is, that rain, shine or snow, go take this tour, you are sure to have a great time--and you won't leave hungry!

What you'll taste

<p style="text-align:justify;">Whatever name you call us by: The City of Big Shoulders, The Windy City, or The Second City, Chicago's downtown Loop District is the heartbeat of the city. With stunning waterfront views of Lake Michigan and a skyline that has earned Chicago its reputation as an architectural treasure, "The Loop" has it all. It is home to some of the city's most iconic buildings and landmarks, and its unparalleled display of public art masterworks creates a vibrant backdrop to our tasty wanderings. Far more than a food tour, this is an ideal experience to get grounded in all the wonders Chicago offers.</p>

Secret Beer Tour: Chicago

<div class="text">We will be meeting at the north end of the Irving Park Brown Line Station. This will be a walking tour that ends near the Montrose Brown Line Station, one stop north from where we begin. If you have any questions. Please <a href="mailto: chicago@secrettours.com">email us</a>.</div><div class="grey_block"><div class="left"><div class="item">&nbsp;</div></div></div>

<p>As we wind through one of The Windy City's most lovely residential areas you'll drink numerous seasonal beers and learn about: how Chicago politics shaped the beer industry; Chicago's gritty rivalry with Milwaukee; the German beer riot, and its long-lasting effects on political partisanship in Chicago city elections; a deadly Chicago theme park; and many more fascinating snippets of our history. We'll dive into the cultural dealings of the area, history before the Chicago fire, prohibition, and beyond!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A thoughtfully curated <a href="/chicago/upgraded-food-package/">Upgraded Food Package</a> is available.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Our city goes by many names: The City of Big Shoulders, The Windy City, or The Second City; and its clear Irving Park is another iconic part of the city. The architecture lives in Irving Park, from Victorian mansions to turn-of-the-century bungalows — some buildings even predate the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. Packed full of great places to drink and craft breweries, this is far more than a beer tour, this is a great way to get first hand experience of the wonders Chicago has to offer.</p>
