Chicago Gourmet

We loved our bike tour around Chicago with Julia of Bobby's Bikes. From the moment we walked in, every detail was thought out. The people working there were friendly and helpful and even let us store our bags in the store while we were on the tour. Julia is an awesome tour guide--very personable and attentive to the needs of the group. And she has a great sense of humor! I would highly recommend this tour.

Jonathan is a true gem! He is very animated and engaging the whole time. Thank you for making our tour so enjoyable.

Very good, and informative. One suggestion, we found out the the company doing the tours had additional restaurant -dining options that we would have preferred over this one. While we greatly enjoyed it, as residents of greater Chicagoland we would have picked one with all hidden gems over this one , which has some but also had Portillos and Lou Malnatis , great for out of towners but we go to both regularly. We did not see those options on the website

The River North Food Tour was excellent in many ways! There was a good variety of restaurants on the tour, and the food was great! We walked from restaurant to restaurant, and along the way, our tour guide talked about the buildings we passed by, Chicago sports figures, and some history about the city.

We did this as a family activity with our adult children. The whole group enjoyed the pizza and seeing the city on the clean and comfortable bus. The tour guide was great, trying to make everyone feel comfortable and ensuring people had what they needed.

The pizza was amazing and our tour guide made it even better. He was extremely knowledgeable and made the tour completely worth it. Would highly recommend.

Danny was great! You not only got to try great pizza but he also gave you a tour of Chicago on the ride to the different pizzerias. Totally recommend!

We had so much fun on this tour! Danny, our tour guide, was very knowledgable and personable. There was a great choice of pizza places...not your big name chains. The pizza was amazing...some of the best pizza we've had! The ride to each place provided a view of the city along with some history and information about each neighborhood. This tour is a must do!

It was incredible! I felt like I was on a fun field trip. I learned so much about Chicago pizza along with some general history of Chicago. Our tour guide, Danny, was also fabulous and I loved his enthusiasm!

Our tour with Bobby's Bike Hike was amazing! It wasn't the most optimal weather, but still a great time -- Courtney was enthusiastic, informative, & fun. When booking another tour, I will try to do ones that she leads. The places we stopped were great as well -- my favorite being the chocolate shop at the end! I bought a scotcharoo that was TO DIE FOR. SO GOOD.

We had a great tour guide. The choices of places to eat was great. We covered good amount of Chicago neighborhoods. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves biking and eating.

A delightful interesting tour!!! We learned many facts about Chicago and pizza!!! Everyone in our group was very friendly, easy to talk to and fun!!!

Amazing , fun & worthwhile Courtney was a great guide

Received our pizza tour experience as a Christmas gift. My wife and I had a great time. Danny, our tour guide, was great. If you love pizza, this is the tour for you. We thought that we would be going to some of the "famous named" pizza places. This tour takes you to the lesser known neighborhood spots. We went to 4 different places, and had 4 different styles of pizza. An added bonus is that the tour also gives you great views of Chicago and the different neighborhoods. This tour is a must see and do!!

We loved our tour and our guide. He was very knowledgeable, funny, easy-going, and a lot of fun to hang out with for the afternoon. We loved that we not only learned about pizza but also about Chicago. I lived in Chicago for 5 years and loved actually learning about the pizza I so often enjoyed. Great tour - 5 star all the way! Thanks for the great experience!

Pizza was great and our tour guide was awesome! I really enjoyed him. He was so funny and knowledgeable about our city. My only complaint is the amount of profanity he used, that was a little bummer, but other than that I enjoyed my experience.

It was good, although 13 miles might be a bit much for two hours. Could use a little more food provided given that it was over the lunch hour. And perhaps a more leisurely pace.

This was a great experience. The 4 pizza places we visited were all awesome. We learned a lot about the history of pizza, and Joe (our tour guide) was great.

Hands down BEST tour I've ever been on. Gabe was an incredible tour guide. He was knowledgeable, friendly and definitely went the extra mile to make sure everyone was informed, entertained, & enjoying their time on the tour. The equipment provided was in excellent condition. Already planning a subsequent trip with more friends for this fall!

The pizzas were varied and wonderful. Jonathan was a fabulous guide, who shared lots of interesting history about pizza and Chicago along the way. We look forward to doing this tour again with out-of-town visitors.

Spent our 15th anniversary celebration with Gabe. He did a fabulous job with Bikes, Bites and Brew tour despite the November wind and chill. Cloud 9 Living went above and beyond notifying the bakery of our anniversary. Swirlz made us special cupcakes for the occasion! Great tour, great guide, great fun!

I enjoyed the Chicago Pizza Tour. Something to consider going forward, Some guests may only eat cheese pizza. The current structure of the tour does not allow them to ask for cheese as an alternative to what has been ordered. Maybe make an announcement at the beginning of the tour thta should you prefer cheese only it is available.

Awesome trip!

Excellent way to learn about Chicago history along with the background on pizza families and the art of this dining phenomenon. Jonathan was an excellent tour guide!

It was so refreshing to take part in something that allowed us to be tourists for the day and to learn about some hidden gems in Chicago! We did it as an anniversary celebration and it was awesome to try something new. I wouldn't be surprised if we do our own "Bikes, Bites and Brews tours" sampling new foods and drinks around this great city, feeling inspired!

Awesome tour! Absolutely loved each pizza place we went to and the history behind the pizzerias was fascinating. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Guide was very knowledgeable about the history and the city. He was enthusiastic. Booking process was simple.

Refreshing look at the city not just for tourists. I booked this tour as an anniversary present for myself and boyfriend (he is from Chicago) and he couldn't stop saying how cool it was and didn't know half of the things the tour guide was telling us about along the way.

My wife and I had a great time. Weather was perfect. Great pace. We would definitely do it again.

John, our tour guide, was absolutely wonderful. Even though we love pizza, we literally tried four different types of pizza that we had never had. We would go on this tour again.

My only complaint was that nowhere (on the Cloud 9 experience description or on the confirmation from Chicago Pizza Tours) did it say anything about parking at the restaurant where we met. Therefore, I made the mistake of assuming -- since my husband and I are local to Chicago and are familiar with going downtown -- that Pizano's would have valet parking, which is normally reasonably priced at even the most high-end Chicago restaurants. We arrived within the appointed meeting time, only to find there was no valet parking. So we went to the nearest self-park garage and were disappointed at having to choose this option as, in our experience, self-park garages can be as much as $23 for 3+ hours. However, we figured it might be less because it was Sunday afternoon. Following the experience, we were stuffed and on a bit of a high from the good time we'd had and the new people we'd met. When we paid for our parking we were shocked to see that we were charged $32 for a little over four hours. It literally almost ruined the day and left a terrible taste in our mouth as our final impression of the experience. We had splurged on this experience and would NOT have purchased it knowing that we'd shell out another $32 (almost half the cost of the experience itself) for parking. But my biggest issue with it is that I wasn't EXPECTING it and I feel that either Cloud 9 or Chicago Pizza Tours should have given us some idea about the parking and we could have planned accordingly. Again, I go downtown frequently and when I know to plan ahead, I use ParkWhiz and can get very inexpensive parking near any location. I feel very upset that I didn't do so, but again, I feel like parking instructions should have been made clear to the purchaser of the experience. In closing, I would ONLY recommend Cloud 9/Chicago Pizza Tours with the huge caveat of "buyer beware" as it relates to parking!

The experience turned out to be beyond our prior anticipations! Being natives of the area we learned so much more and enjoyed the tasty selections. Loved the guide and pilot! Very knowledgeable and friendly, lots of fun!!!-Tom Janusz

It is not often that you see a tour guide who is so passionate about what he does. Chicago Pizza Tour was as inspiring as it was fun...all due to the passion of Joe, the owner and guide. Four thumbs up from my group!!!

Well run. Guide-well informed/knowledge re: pizza. Great fellow tourists. Good overall experience.

It's too expensive.
