| I had a really good time on the Top Chef tour. Nicole, the guide, was fun and knowledgeable. We got a good overview of several different neighborhoods in downtown Manhattan. The tour made some great connections to the show, but was also fun for people interested in food and NYC. I particularly enjoyed walking through Chinatown and learning about the markets on Grand Street. And, of course, the cheese at DiPalo's! All in all it was a totally worthwhile experience. |

| The tour was great! The guide was enthusiastic, the food was wonderful and we learned something new at each stop. The mixture of information about Topchef, food in general and dining in the city made the whole tour very enjoyable. |

| I loooooooved this tour - it gave a great overview of downtown's diverse ethnic and cultural food culture while highlighting places, events, and challenges that are on Top Chef. Even though I've never actually seen the show, I really enjoyed the way our brilliant tourguide wove together the stories of top chef with the stories of NYC's food culture! This is a great tour for out of town guests, because you get a solid introduction to the NYC's cultural history. Also, the cooking tip sheets were really helpful as was the knife lesson! Plus you get to EAT! lots of tastes at lots of places! |

| This was my second tour with City Food Tours. Our guide was knowledgeable about food, the city and the show. There were even a few games thrown in for fun. It didn't matter that not everyone was familiar with the show. I recommend the tour for anyone who is a fan as well as those looking for an entertaining way to learn more about the city. |

| First of all, awesome tour guides. Our guide was not only informative, she was very friendly, and not the "I want your money" friendly. She had an understanding of the locales we visited as well as the city in general.
The locations visited were fantastic! Going to locations that were featured in the show was really cool, and tasting what the chefs tasted really brought it close. Along the way to "scheduled" stops, there are many detours to take. I suggest to any who do these tours to take some extra cash and to just buy some of the snack you see in other stores. Its a great way to try out NYC.
Over all, AWESOME. I am telling all my friends and family about this tour. Great Job guys!

| I went on the Top Chef tour recently and had a great time. The guide was super friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. The food was delicious and all of the stops we made were well chosen. The food was not too heavy at each stop but it was planned very well so that by the end of the day I was stuffed and satisfied. I recommend this tour to anyone who loves food or Top Chef. |

| The tour was fun. It offered several insider tips about the show and getting to meet one of the stars at her restaurant was the highlight! |

| My son is a big Top Chef fan and he had a great time! We actually went back to one of the restaurants we stopped at for dinner that night. It was interesting for me, too, because our guide gave us alot of interesting information regarding the history of the different areas we went to. |

| I was VERY disappointed in this food tour. In fact, it shouldn’t even be advertised as a food tour. It was incredibly informative, but we took the tour to sample food. We had taken a food tour through Greenwich Village and were very pleased so we decided to branch out to other tours. If you’re looking for a food tour, this will not meet your expectations.
The write up is misleading. We did not experience things that aren’t offered to the public. The interactive challenge was identifying a variety of spices the host had in her bag. Shopping like a chef really meant spending five minutes walking through a kitchen store.
I know this company is up and coming, but they need A LOT of work if they want to be competitive. The “Top Chef” theme was a great idea, but poorly carried out. |
