I knew we were in for a representative sampling of fine Chinese food and some historical context. With Greg as our tour guide we got more than that: a lively and knowledgeable dialogue spread over a variety of delicious courses. Even though I knew a fair amount of Chinatown’s history (from the excellent Chinese American Museum of Chicago - be sure to make time to visit that free gem), Greg expanded on that knowledge, pointing out what businesses currently occupy historically important buildings, and answering all of our group’s questions. The best part is how Greg created a fun environment welcoming all of us (out-of-towners and Chicagoans alike) giving lots of tidbits about Chinatown and Chicago in general. He even threw in a “curve ball” restaurant option that ended up being the group’s favorite. Would definitely recommend for anyone who loves history, good food, and is up for a little adventure.

Few neighborhoods in America combine such delicious cuisine with such fascinating history as Chicago’s Chinatown. Join Bobby’s Bike Hike, whose food tours in just the past year have ranked as Top 10 in America by USA Today and Top 20 in the world by Tripadvisor, for an afternoon of interesting beats and scrumptious eats through Chinatown. On this 3-hour walking and food culture tour, you’ll see the bustling Chinatown Square, then get to sampling some of the richest cuisine around, including Cantonese dim sum, Portuguese-Chinese bakery treats, Szechuan style, and even Xi'an cuisine, all the while learning about the history of how these foods and cultures arrived in Chicago. This is a totally unique culinary tour experience, and not to be missed! Upon arrival to the tour, you can add a VIP Drink option for alcoholic and ethnic drink pairings! Chinatown can be challenging to navigate on your own, so let our expert guides show you the way and discover five of our all-time favorites.
