| Recently had family (brother and sister in law with teenage nephew) in town who are true foodies. Big Iron Chef fans etc. We had a great time sampling the various "flavors" the chelsea market has to offer. As locals we enjoyed the historical aspect of the tour. I felt the tour had something to offer everyone in the group. Size of the group was perfect, guide was fantastic. Certainly would consider participating in another local foodie tour offered through your company. |

| I recently took two friends from out of town on the Chelsea Market/Meatpacking District tour. I wondered, at first, how we were going to fill up the three hours of the tour. Any apprehensions quickly went out the window upon meeting our guide, Kurt. From start to finish, Kurt was an amazing guide. His knowledge, personability, and sense of humor made for an incredible enjoyable experience.
The tour itself was packed with great food and was structured very well. Just enough time was spent at each stop and the "menu" progressed well, especially the gelato before venturing into the outdoor portion of the tour on our particularly humid NYC day.
I would recommend this tour to anyone, tourist or local. Where else in NY can you get entertainment, information, and great food at such a low price? |

| Our tour guide, Cindy, was knowledgeable and fun. We learned much about the area and the concept of Chelsea Market, and were able to sample foods from many of the shops. Great tour! |

| Enjoyed the food, the guide, the history, the sites, the walk...did I mention the food? We really enjoyed the food. This is our second Foods of New York tour and we highly recommend the tour company. |

| the tour is interesting and the guide is fun, but the amount of food is clearly insufficient and overall it does not represent great value for money. |

| Our guide, Kurt, was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. It was fun and there was plenty of food.
The only thing that I would do differrently is to start the tour in the meat packing district and end in the Chelsea Market. for 3 reason; 1)it would much cooler to be outside earlier rather than later 2) ending the tour with the big, delicious, but heavy cookie from the bakery would have been so much nicer than starting with it. It really would have tasted great at the end\. It was so big and filling that it was a little hard to eat all the food that came after it ! 3) I would have been more inclined to shop at the market if we had ended there. As it was, we just got on the subway.
I did the Greenwich Village trip last year and loved it also. If you can't decide which to do, go with the Greenwich Village. There is a lot more architechture and history and the food was more memorable (oh ! the rissetto ball and the pizza-yum O) |
