| I believe Cindy was our guide. She is a wealth of knowledge - not just about the restaurants we toured and tasted, but also about the area, the people, the architecture and the businesses. I really enjoyed the tour. All the samples more than made up a meal. I did return to do some light shopping and snacking later.
I will recommend it to friends for sure.
Probably the most unique part of the tour was the salt tasting. I never gave it much thought before. I myself would have prefered more chocolate to the salt, but it was still very informative. |

Good but could be better

| I thought that since this was a tour of Chelsea Meat Packing area there should have been a bit of meat to choose from. Also, it was supposed to be a 3 hour tour & was over 20 minutes early. I enjoyed what we did & where we went but I think it should have been w/in 10 minutes of the 3 hours & I think we could've had a taste of 1 or 2 more items from different places. |

| This was a great tour of Chelsea Market and the surrounding area. We learned so many interesting things about it, even small details like that the T salon uses soy ink and corn cups. We even went "behind-the-scenes" and saw a huge 5-lb lobster in the back room of the lobster store. We had a great variety of samples and they were nicely sized too. Kurt was an excellent tour guide - very knowledgeable about the area and funny! The tour was very well planned out and had a good small group size (16). I've been to Chelsea Market before but never knew what I learned in the tour. This tour gave us a nice appreciation of Chelsea Market and the surrounding area... it was well worth the money and I would highly recommend it to others. |

| Our tour guide - Curt really made the experience. He was extremely entertaining. I wondered what we could possibly do for 3 hours but the time just flew by. The food tasting was wonderful. There were small portions but delicious and such a wide variety from the soup, cookies, biscuits with jam and gelato just to name a few. I am hoping to plan another trip to Soho or Tribeca based upon the great time we had. My 21 yr old son was with us and he had a great time too. We enjoyed the other aspects of the tour as well. |

| This was a fantastic tour, if all of the tour guides are as good as the one we had (Curt) everyone who takes this tour will get more than their money's worth. The food was great and plentiful. The history of the area and information about various places was interesting & informative, and was delivered in a fun & conversational manner that kept the pace moving and engaging. I will absolutely recommend this tour to anyone I know who is traveling to New York City. |

| I enjoyed this tour so much the first time I went (as part of a professional meeting), I took friends with me a second time. Chelsea Market is a unique retailing concept and the tasting tour gives the consumer great insight that they wouldn't otherwise get. The tour guide is knowledgable, has good stories, and is effective in maximizing the customer experience. The tour is a little pricey, but it will replace one or two meals for the day making it a worthwhile expenditure. You will not leave hungry - you will be making plans to return for lunch on another day! If I were asked ways to improve, I would edit the tour of the Meat Packing District some; that third hour is hard - interesting, but tiring! |

| This was our 2nd food tour with your company and it was excellent. It was great to see a different part of NY and our tour guide Kurt was amazing. He memorized everyone's names, was very knowledgeable, well organized and a great guide.
Keep up the great work. I have highly recommended this to many of my friends and family and will continue to do so. |

| We thoroughly enjoyed the upbeat personality of our guide as well as the great nibbles along the way. The day was drizzly and cold so it turned out to be the perfect tour as most of it was indoors. Thanks for a great afternoon! |
