| This is our 2nd food tour--we did the Greenwich Village last year--and we thoroughly enjoyed both. I worried that going on 2 would be too much of the same thing, but they were quite different. Our adult daughter who lives in the area was with us and enjoyed them also. Curt was our guide this year and he was superb (and a hoot!). |

| This tour was one of the best tourist experiences I've ever had (and I've had a lot!) What made it so successful was a well-planned scope and a guide who was spot-on. Add the AMAZING and copious food and I'm still shocked the ticket was under $50! What a value!
The tour was just the right length of time, walking distance and depth of information to be enjoyable without feeling overloaded. The guide made a special point to engage the attendees and balanced his obvious passion for food with his well-rounded experience in various aspects of the restaurant business. He never sounded rehearsed, making our group feel as though we were getting a tour customized especially for us. The tour left plenty of time to return to any of the stops along the way to make purchases or see more.
And the food. Nothing I could write would do justice to the array of samplings we were treated to. All I can say is - come hungry!! You won't be dissappointed! |

| 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. |
