| My wife and I took the tour while on a short trip to New York. We were unfamiliar with the Chelsea Market and it sounded like a fun way to experience it and the surrounding area. Instead of just sitting on a bus or listening to someone talk about it, you're completely involved in the tour. You get the opportunity to see, smell, touch and taste everything the market has to offer. And the food we sampled was amazing! Our guide, Curt, was enthusiastic, fun and very knowledgeable. I will (and have) recommended this tour to everyone I know that is visiting New York. |

| This tour was fantastic, it was a xmas present for my husband and he loved it. It was so informative and really fun. The food was great and I still can't believe it was only 80$ for the 2 of us....SO worth it. |

| We attended the tour this past Friday. It was myself, my 21 year old daughter and a friend. Kurt was absolutley amazing! It surpassed our expectations. His knowledge of the area and the fact a well know "neighborhood Celebrity" waived to him and our group just made it all more special. The food was great and plentiful, the tour of the neighborhood was insightful and his relationship with each shop owner made us all feel very welcome. It was well worth the cost! He even gave us some great suggestion for the rest of our trip.
When we went back to Sarabeth's after the tour Sarabeth hereself came out and talked to us for while.
We went to Dinner that evening at Del Posto's and it was perfect. We were given the direct reservation line and had no problem getting a 8:30 Saturday night reservation!
Thanks Kurt for a wonderful time. My daughter said the tour and dinner at Del Posto's was the hightlight of her trip.
Thanks Again,
Jennifer Groneck and Raven Fausz |

| A thoroughly engrossing experience, we saw a totally different New York to any we had seen on previous visits. A great combination of fine foods (except perhaps for the salt tasting), and local history presented in a fantastically enthusiastic and funny way by the talented guide "Kurt". I would strongly recommend anyone taking this tour be they from overseas, such as ourselves, or local to the area, I am sure all would enjoy the experience as much as we did.
Many thanks to Kurt for his knowledge and terrific sense of fun. |

| My husband and I along with my 74 year old Mom and 16 year old neice had a fabulous time with Todd as our tour leader. Very intersting information, lots of great tastes and a thorough tour of the area. We would recommend it highly. In fact we will be participating in the other tours on our next trip to New York.
One suggestion, we met other tourists on our weekend in New York and told them about the tour. Consider giving out a business card or pamphlet to share with others. |

| We now know the ChelseaMarket area pretty darn well..Saw both SaraBeth and the "High Line" on TV the next day!! Our guide conveyed her love for this area, and as true Foodies, we loved seeing the source for the restaurant treats, such as black trumpet mushrooms. The time flew by, and I recommend this to all! |

| We have heard of this tour from a friend and decided it sounded like fun. I can honestly say this was the highlight of our stay in New York. Our guide, Curt was absolutely amazing. We cannot say enough about him. He made our tour interesting, extremely informative and so much fun. The food was amazing! I have never tasted such amazing food. Chelsea Market was our favorite place. I have friends coming to New York in February and you can bet they will be taking one if not more of your tours. If we had longer, we would take every one. Our next trip to New York will definately include this tour and we would ask for Curt again. I'm sure the other guides are great as well, but we had such a positive experience with him.
Not only did Curt do all of this, but he remembered all of our names and he even remembered I was allgergic to strawberries! I don't even remember putting that on the form. Unbelievable.
I give this tour AND Curt 10 Stars!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
We Love New York!!

| Our tour guide Kurt was the best tour guide my friends and I have ever been on a tour with. He was so funny and informative and very helpful to everyone. Even getting us a cab when the tour was finished. We learned so much about NY and the people of the area. I would truly recommend this tour to anyone who would like to have a fun three hours and learn so much about NY. |
