| As a native New Yorker I was hesitant to go on a New York tour, but I was so wrong. Bob is a historian and a foodie. He was knowledgable, well spoken and funny. The tour of the Chelsea Market was fun and our group of 5 went back after the tour was over to make purchases. The high-line was amazing. Sometimes we become jaded about our city, but this tour helped not only reminded us of how great it is, but we got to taste some great food along the way. |

| Cindy was a fabulous guide--lots of fun, energetic, knowledgable and interested in the area. WE enjoyed the neighborhood and the food was heavenly. I've been fasinated by the High Line and was delighted to go up there. WE've taken the Greenwich village tour and the Booklyn pizza tour and loved them all. Great to get to know a neighborhood we might not venture into on our own. And that we can now go back to. found out about in a piece in the NY times a few years ago.
Thanks, Anne

| Our guide, Darren or Darrell? (I'm sorry I don't remember his name exactly as I'd like to recommend him) had a great upbeat personality and extensive knowledge of the area. He provided historical details of the surrounding buildings and area. All the food tastings were well organized and delicious. He kept the tour moving at just the right pace. To those who asked he provided recommendations of nearby bars and restaurants, retail shops and transit stops. Great tour, great tour guide. |

| This is my 2nd tour with Foods of NY, but my sisters & niece's first time. Everyone really enjoyed the tour & food. Our guide was very helpful, entertaining & informative. One of our family members is vegetarian & the accommodations for her (considering this is the Market tour) were very well done. Thank you for another memorable event. We're looking forward to our next visit to NY so we can enjoy the next tour with Foods of NY. |

| Loved the Market. Did not like food at Italian market, so we didn't eat it. Felt like we needed more food. BUT, the tour is interesting, not too much walking, and the soup at the fish place was incredible.
Our leader, Kurt, was sweet and funny. We enjoyed him.
The pasta at the end, at the Meatpacking District, was wonderful.
Overall, a great experience. |

| Our group consisted of me, my husband and our two grown children who both now live in the NYC area. We have been visiting NYC on a regular basis the past 8 years since my son started college at NYU. We have done a lot of the tourist type things but never a tour like this. We LOVED it and definitely recommend it if you like tours, FOOD and some history. Our guide, Curt, was fantastic--very energetic, a lot of information and a great sense of humor. The food was good and there was plenty. I highly recommend this for tourists and people who live in the area. |

| WE HAD A LARGE GROUP DO THE TOUR AND LET ME TELL YOU THAT NO ONE WAS DISAPPOINTED. MY ONLY REGRET WAS I SHOULD NOT HAVE ATE BREAKFAST, THE TASTINGS WERE VERY LARGE AND DELICIOUS. THE HISTORY OF THE AREA WAS SO INTERESTING AND WE WOULD NEVER HAD KNOWN ANYTHING HAVING COME ON OUR OWN. I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THIS WONDERFUL TOUR TO ANYONE IN FACT I AM PLANNING OUR NEXT ONE IN THE NOT TO DISTANT FUTURE. WELL DONE! |

| We enjoyed this tour very much. There was so much history from the area that we never knew about, it was very interesting. I had dietary substitutions and they worked out great. My friends on the tour with me thought the tour was a little skewed towards sweets versus the tour we did last year but enjoyed all the samples nonetheless. I did not notice but then again I did not eat any cookies. I gave this tour a 4 star rating vs the 5 star rating I gave the Greenwich Village tour last year. Although we really enjoyed the Chelsea/Meatpacking area and the amount of history presented was impressive, this tour just didn't seem to flow as well as the Greenwich Village tour. I also think this tour could use a bit more walking in it. |
