| I highly recommend this tour. My husband admitted he didn't think he'd enjoy this tour but it was at the top of both our lists of favorite things we did in NY. Our guide Cindi was fantastic. The group included 1 New Yorker, tourists from CA, AZ & TX, and couples from Germany, Finland and Australia. The history we learned from Cindi was so interesting and fun. She pointed out things we never would have known just visiting the food market on our own. We tasted a huge variety of foods and learned a little about the chefs behind them. We got a sense of the development of Chelsea and how it is evolving today. I will definitely schedule some of the other food tours next time I'm in NY. |

This tour was fun but not diverse enough

| My family and I took the Chelsea Food tour and had mixed feelings about it. We enjoyed our guide very much and some of the food but here is some feedback.
1. Too much time was spent in the Chelsea Market itself and not enough time out in the Chelsea Neighborhood. There are MANY other restaurants in Chelsea that we could have had tastes in.
2. The tastings had too many sweets and not enough REAL food.
3. The salt tasting was a bit odd, and placed between two sweet tastings
4. We were expecting some interesting architectural and historical information outside of the market as well, like in your Greenich Village Food Tour. We loved seeing the High Line and hearing about the plans for the walkway and we would have liked to see more of the neighborhood, especially some of the OLD brownstones on the side streets and heard about their history.
Thank you for listening and we look forward to taking a third tour with you some time. How about a SOHO Tour or BROOKLYN!!!! |

| We've been to the original Food of NYC tour in Greenwich and thought we should go to another one to learn more about the city, even though we have spent our lives here. All I must say was, it was fantastic. Nice little tour of places that we just didn't know existed. And the tour guide,Diana was very enthusiastic and informative. Can't ask for anything more. Thanks for a great time. |

| My brother and sisters and husband went on the Chelsea food tasting tour and were disappointed. While the tour guide was funny and informative, the tour was too long, (3hrs.) and the tasting too little. The most annoying thing about it was that you were not allowed to purchase anything in the shops until AFTERthe 3HR tour that ends down the street from the market! I don't know about you but I feel that "tourists" are basically impulse buyers and if they have to wait 2 hrs and walk a couple of blocks to go back to what they thought they wanted, most people would talk themselves out of it. I would have probably bought something in every shop we went to but as a result I bought nothing. Something to think about. |

| I would go on this tour again only for the food! It was so good. Our tour guide was excellent. We took a few other tours on our trip but this was by far the best! |

| This was our second tour with Foods of New York (we also did the Greenwich tour last year) and we loved it! The food is fantastic the insight and information abut the neighborhood was facinating and the guide was great. We look forward to a new trip being added to the mix - we will definately be back to take it if it happens! |

| Our group of 12 girlfriends were met by our tour guide Darryl right on time. I was thinking that we might need to plan a late lunch after the tour, but we were just STUFFED by the end of the tour. Chelsea is a neighborhood none of us had visited before, but we`ll be back. Be sure to bring a shopping bag with you to bring home all those fantastick goodies you`ll want to stock up on after the tour. |

| What a great time. We really felt like we knew the area by the time the tour had concluded. Our guide was fabulous and it was obvious that she enjoyed her work. We enjoyed learning about the history of the area and what the various restaurants were known for. Of course the food sampling was more than good it was great! Our next trip to NYC will definately include dining and shopping in this area.
