We had an awesome time with Joe! Beautiful ride through iconic neighborhoods and great stops for local foods. Joe shared a lot of great information about the neighborhoods as we toured the areas. Amazing final stretch down the lakefront . Highly recommend!

We have been Chicago many times and were looking for something different to do. Decided on this tour, as it took us to neighborhoods we were less (or un) familiar with. So glad we did! We had a group of 14, which was manageable, if a little slow (we arrived back about 45 minutes late, so keep that in mind if you schedule things too closely). Our guide, Nate, did a good job of keeping everyone together, talking about the restaurants we visited, and telling stories about Chicago generally and food culture specifically. Loved the bites (on our trip, pizza, pierogies, tacos, and ice cream)! I added on the VIP beer tasting. It was 2 tastings. Both good, not sure it was worth the price, but I would also probably do it again.

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Nate was a great guide and the food was delicious. It was just the right amount of food, too. It's a great tour if you're traveling solo as most people are there to have a good time chit chat, so you don't feel left out.

My wife, adult son, and I took Bobby’s west side food tour. We are all from Chicago , but like to experience new adventures that the city has to offer. Bobby’s bike tour did not disappoint! The tour setup, from bike selection, to safety procedures, to tour preview was all very organized. Nate, our tour guide for the 9 of us, was friendly, fun and knowledgeable. I wasn’t sure if we were going to get samples of food, or good sized portions. Well each stop rewarded us with a very good sized portion of food. All 3 of us were comfortably full at the end of our ride. And the food at all stops was EXCELLENT! I highly recommend Bobby’s Bike tours for Chicagoans or visitors!
