| My wife and I enjoyed the Chelsea Market tour very much. The tour guide was excellent mixing humor with information. The food was great and the market was fantastic. Highly recommend the tour to anyone who wants an overview of the area and the market. |

| I highly recommend the Chelsea Market tour. Our guide was terrific, and very articulate. The tastings were wonderful and the sights and sounds of the market were fun. I have told friends and family about the tour, and everyone wants to go!
Thanks for a great slice of NYC! |

| We had no idea what to expect from this tour,but had taken the Greenwich VIllage tour last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. This tour was at least as good, and maybe even a little better. All of the tastings were in the Chelsea Market, which is an experience in and of itself- unique design and wonderful granite sculpture everywhere. The portions were more generous than the Greenwich Village tour - you might consider eating a very light breakfast- you will be noshing non-stop for the first part of the tour, which is inside the market. Kurt, our fabulously funny and engaging guide, also took us to a private bed and breakfast and a secret hideaway at the penthouse level of a local hotel. He recommended lots of restaurants and was, all in all, a delight to be with for three hours. Don't miss this tour! |

| Can't say enough nice things about our tour guide Kurt. Not only was he quite knowledgeable about Chelsea Market but just as knowledgeable about the meat packing district and surrounding neighborhoods. We had a blast! Kurt was remarkable in that he remembered everyone's name and was personable to each member of our tour group. Thank goodness for Kurt's great personality and charm, he invited everyone to interact with each other and welcomed everyone's opinion as we ate our way through most of the stops along the way. Chelsea Market is a cool, vibrant hub of New York. I would highly recommend this great tour and don't let the 3 hours fool you...it's over before you know it! Take all your friends when visiting this city. Lorraine Alt-Delray Beach, FL |

| This was a gift from our daughter and we did not know what to expect... BUT as soon as we met Curt we knew this was going to be fun. The tour was great ... food great ... information great .... BUT Curt was fabulous!!! We really enjoyed the format, etc of this tour. Loved seeing some of the restaurants in the area too. In fact we came back Sat and ate at two of them...I would recommend this tour to all... We sure will tell our friends visiting the city that this is a no to be missed event. |

| Curt, our tour leader, was the MOST charming person! He was entertaining while full of knowledge about the history of the area, the Meat Packing District in this case. All the food we tasted was delicious and it was time well spent. We had to leave a little early to catch our flight home but really hated missing the last half hour. We will definatley spend time in the area on our next visit to NYC as we come often. |

| I have been to most major US Cities and always do a tour of the city. I have done two other NYC tours and of all of these tours, this was the best!!! The portions of food were generous. It is true that you won't be hungry when you are finished. I could never find everything I was shown on my own. I can't wait to go back to Chelsea Market and the other restaurants we were shown. The very best part of the tour was Curt...he was great and as I have found from taking other tours, the guide makes it or breaks it. He definately makes it....please be sure he gets a good raise!!! I have already recommended this tour to my friends and family. |

| Outstanding three hours. My wife and I were in NYC with another couple for the weekend and this was recommended to us by friends. We thoroughly enjoyed the enthusiasm of Kurt, our guide. He gave us a wonderful history of the Meatpacking District and the evolution of Chelsea Market. Our "small bites" turned out to be more like a "five course degustation menu". We would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys food and history and loves New York. We enjoyed going back and shopping at many of the places we toured and felt like "seasoned" New Yorkers.
We enjoyed the opportunity to visit Del Posto and returned that evening after theatre for the Prix Fix menu and it was outstanding. Thank you for showing us a different part of Manhattan.
Kudos to Kurt and the Chelsea Market Tour! |
