| Great tour. Even though I've been to Chelsea Market many times I still learned new things about the area on this tour.
Tour guide Bob was knowledgable, easy going and well organized.
Loved the food. |

| My group enjoyed this tour immensely. Our tour guide, Bob, was very informative as well as fun. This is a wonderful way to spend the afternoon. I highly recommend this tour for anyone including children over the age of 12. The food was delicious the history interesting and the views magnificant from the high line. What more could you ask for? We can't wait to try the other food tours. |

| This was my first food tour. I enjoyed the entire tour, from the food tasting to the history. I believe the tour was so wonderful because of the tour guide we had, his name was Bob Gelber and he was wonderful. I am absolutly gooing to take more tours in the future!!!! |

| I felt the scope of the tour could have been enhanced including the tasting (e.g. cheese twice). I felt we spent too much time in the chelsea market and not much in meat pkg district plus only one tasting there. I also thought our leader had an attitude problem and at times was snarky. |

| I was a bit disappointed on this tour. Our tour guide was not overly engaging. There seemed to be more overt effort in keeping the tour together. I would not recommend taking a child to this tour. I purchased 3 adult and 1 child tickets (my niece, husband and child live in Brooklyn). The guide seemed concerned about having a child on the tour. We all understood her concern about disrupting the tour for the other members, but felt she was a bit sharp. I will say that a child will become bored on this tour. The group seemed scattered, not engaged.
The tour also felt that it was a marketing tool for the businesses.
I have taken the Greenwich Village tour which was fantastic. The tour guide was engaging and the tour members engaged with others on the tour. I would highly recommend that tour. |

| Fun, informative, delicious! Kurt was an amazing guide who not only educated us, but entertained with his quick wit and awed our group of about 15 by referring to us by name throughout the tour. His knowledge of the Chelsea Market and the surrounding area was impressive. The "sampling" we did was fantastic and filling! This was well worth the ticket price and the time spent.
If you're listening, give Kurt a big fat raise! |

| My husband and I had a great time on this tour. Our tour guide was extrememly knowledge, professional, fun, and very enthusiastic. We will definitely do more tours with this group. The foods that were provided were absolutely delicious and the variety was amazing. We would definitely go back to the Chelsea Market as a result of this tour. It was also really nice to walk around and learn more about the surrounding area. We would recommend this tour to everyone, it was truly a great way to spend a few hours in NYC! (One additional comment, one guest on the tour had a food allergy and we were very impressed with how the Tour Guide arranged for special food items for her, it was extremely well done.) Thanks!

| It was myself and my two adult daughters that took the tour. Our guide was extremely entertaining and knowledgable. He made sure everyone was involved and not left out during the tour. He was accomadating to every ones needs. We are considering another tour over the holidays and would like to make sure we get the same guide.
The food was fantastic and extremely diversified. Something to please every one. There was a young boy, 13 years old with his dad. He was enjoying himself just as much as the adults. I worried about bringing my 11 year old grandson, now I wouldn't hesitate to bring him with us over the holidays. |
