| I have had an especially good time. Our tourguide obviously enjoyed entertaining us. All of our group were thrilled by his enthusiasm in regard to the history and food of the Chelsea Market / Meatpacking District. I learned a lot, was very well feeded and entertained. I believe without taking this tour I would never have known any of the historical and culinary wonders of the Meatpacking District. Next time in New York, I will undoubtly take a Food Tasting Tour with Foods of New York again. |

| Our guide, Kurt, met us right on time at the Chelsea Market--he made a real effort to remember and use all of our first names--and was amazingly successful. He really knew the area and told us many interesting things about it. He was very knowledgeable about all the establishments we visited (and there were quite a few), and made sure we all were enjoying ourselves, learning about the Market and meat packing district, and along the way eating lots of delicious food. When we met, it was raining and he said how lucky we were to have chosen this tour as the Market part was all inside--but he promised that by the time we came to the meat packing part, during which we walked outside, the sun would be shining and it would be a beautiful day--and he was right! We also visited several restaurants in the area which was great because we plan to visit Chelsea when next we're in NYC and now we know some good places to eat. Altogether a delightful day. We can't recommend the tour highly enough. |

| I am really glad that I found this tour. It showed me a part of NY I would never have explored on my own. All of my group loved it. Far more food was provided then I thought possible and the guide was full of interesting information and history. I highly recommend this tour. |

| Off we went early one Saturday morning, a group of women friends, to explore an interesting section of New York. Our train ride was filled with questions of what we would see and eat! Many did not have breakfast and wanted to get started on our adventure as soon as possible. After a quick taxi ride, we were amazed at the Chelsea Market and all the beautiful food items inside. We quickly met Bob our tour guide who told us not to eat before the tour! After an explanation of the history and current situation at the Chelsea Market, we had a chance to ask questions as we began to explore. It seemed we were constantly being offered delicious food options from cookies to delicious soups, as we strolled through the market marveling at the sights. As the tour continued many of us said we could not eat another thing, to being offered nice cold gelato. Who could say no? The trip up to the High Line was an opportunity to see the street life below. To end at a wonderful restaurant to enjoy homemade pasta with oxtail ragu was a terrific ending to a wonderful day. My friends made me feel like a hero, they want to know when we can come back. Thank you for offering such a terrific experience. |

| This tour was better than expected. Not only do you get a good tour and history of Chelsea Mkt., but we also enjoyed seeing the Meatpacking District and even the new Highline "park" area. The food was all very good and there was a lot of it. In fact we were almost too full! There were some locals on our tour and they all thought it was great too. Went back to the Mkt to shop and also to one of the other restaurants for dinner later. Highly recommend it! |

| What a great afternoon we had with Darrell on Saturday, Sept 12. From the first encounter with the tour leader to the last stop at the top of the hotel, we had such a fun and interesting and informative time. We may not come back together, but as individuals, I'm sure we will be there again with our friends and/or other family members. Thanks for the memories. |
