| WE loved the tour!! Some of us had done the village tour(twice for me!) and we thought this tour was equally as enjoyable and informative. Curt, our guide was fantastic. I recommend these tours to anyone going to NYC--they are a great way to see some wonderful parts of the city! |

| I enjoyed the activity; I would have liked to spend less time in the Chelsea market itself, and perhaps have a tasting at one or more of the local new restaurants. The market and its architecture are, indeed, interesting, but perhaps varying the tour with some other vendors outside the market would enhance one's knowledge of the meatpacking district. I, however, enjoyed the tour as it opened my eyes to a new, exciting and interesting neigborhood. I liked our guide because he displayed lots of enthusiasm and knowledge and was eager to please the participants on the tour. I hope in time the tour will be expanded to include more restaurants outside the market as well as visits to the interesting new shops and boutiques; ie Stella McCartney's store. We were standing outside the store (McCartney's), could we, as the group, possibly have gone inside for a few minutes? It looked interesting and empty so they may have accomadated us by showing us the layout and styles of the store. I expect to return to the area on my own; something I would not have done had I not taken this tour. Thanks; how about a tour in Brooklyn or parts of the Bronx that may be diamonds in the rough? |

| I absolutely loved the tour. Well worth the money and the tour guide was a hoot. We had a sampling of everything. The pace was perfect. I would recommend it and have already. |

| I couldn't possibly recommend this more highly. Our guide was fantastic, the food amazing, the stories and insider information wonderful and the variety of experiences on the tour were vast. It was a true "New York" experience, but not in a cheesy touristy way - in an "informed and educated" kind of way. You won't get this kind of experience walking around on your own, or on a regular walking tour. Putting the food and the walking together is genius! |

| I thought it was excellent in every respect and highly recommend it, though it would be fun to have a tasting at one of the MP district restaurants, outside of Chelsea Market. Very knowledgable and entertaining guide. |

| I highly recommend it. The tour was informative and the food great. It was a great time and lots of info on the area. I did not feel that I was wasting any precious time as I was only in NY for the weekend. I will recommend to others.
Thanks, next time I will try the other tour.
Thanks Jo-Anna |

| Helpful and detailed background on the meatpacking district, then, now, and future. Interesting and "neat" details of the area. Good food tastings, and well arranged in Chelsea market. Too much bread/too many carbs for me though! Well recommended food walking tour. |
