| The Chelsea Market culinary food tour was a blast! Our guide, Kurt, was not only a wealth of information about the area and about food in general, but he was hilarious and entertaining as well! The food tastings along the tour were all so different but equally wonderful! This three-hour tour was truly a highlight of our vacation, and we will definitely sign up for the Greenwich Village tour the next time we're in The Big Apple. Thanks for a lot of fun, Kurt. Good luck on Food TV! |

| I live in Chelsea and shop at Chelsea Market so while it was nice, I two hours in the market was a big too much for me. But I brought my parents, who were in town from Texas and they really enjoyed themselves and I think that's the more important review. |

| I took my mother with me on a tour of Chelsea Market. Our tour guide, Daryl, was really fantastic! We were both very impressed with the history and the food. We thought Daryl was very knowledgeable, helpful, funny, and very genuine. We were happy to have him as our guide.
Our favorite part were the chocolate croissants from the bakery. Everything tasted great. Also, we were able to go on top of a hotel and get a tremendous view of Manhattan.
My mother is from Brooklyn and she was absolutely thrilled to really learn more about New York.
Thanks again to Daryl! |

| Kirk/Kurt was a great guide - very enthusiastic, friendly, and knowledgeable. Enjoyed the history as well as the variety of food especially the salt tasting. The pace was quick but did have opportunity to sit and eat/rest our feet on occassion - the three hours went quickly. Looking forward to dining at a suggested restaurant in the area during our next visit. Thx! |

| The Chelsea Market/Meat Packing Tour was the hit of our "Sisters" weekend in NYC. Our guide, Kirk, was not only VERY informativeand knowledgeable, but friendly and quite funny. All of the food and vendors were amazing. The 3 hour tour went by so quickly and we all wanted MORE. I have already highly recommended the tour to several friends who are planning a NYC trip as well to my daughter and her friends who frequent NYC. I plan to take the Greenwich tour when I visit again. AND I will return to the Chelsea Market and the surrounding neighborhood area again now because of having taken the tour. |

| There was so much information that we obtained that I would have never known without this tour. Our guide, Kurt was spectacular. His knowledge and humor was right on the money.
The food in Chelsea market was outstanding. We went back and purchased alot of the items we tasted.
We would recomend this tour to everyone going to New York |

The meat packing district was an extreme joy

| This was phenominal, Kurt was great!
I would highly recommend this tour in the future.
We did the Grenwich Village tour last year and were excited to do this one.
Kurt was extremely enthusiastic, knowledgeable and just truly happy to be there with us. Offered up many recommendations of great sights. |

| We have visited NYC many times but have never gone to the Chelsea area. The food tour was a good way to experience that area along with the Meatpacking District. Lots of history there and big revitilization plans. Food tastings along the way were good. Our guide, Daryl, was well informed and funny, too. We have taken another food tour, Greenwich Village, and it was good, too.
I did take another tour this week (with another company) and found their visual aids to be very helpful. The guide had old photos to share with the group that depicted the areas in a historical time frame. |
