| My husband and I own a time share in NYC, and we come once a year to the city. We try to plan one walking tour per visit. The Chelsea/ meatpacking area has interested me, so we booked this tour on line.Our tour group included a group of nine retired teachers, and we were right at home with them, since we are educators ourselves. Kurt was fabulous, and we enjoyed the narration of the history of the area. The food was authentic, and the weather was perfect.
Next time we will definitely do the Greenwich Village tour. |

| We loved the tour. My husband, son (age 11) and a friend from Greenwich, Conn. found the tour to be very interesting. Todd not only provided information about food but has a great knowledge of the history of the Chelsea Market and the Meat Packing District. We will definitly visit the area on our next trip to NYC.

| We had a great time on our Meat Packing District tour. A good portion of the time was spent in Chelsea Market, but that's a good thing. I never realized how many great/interesting and yummy places are in there. It was great to learn about the history of the area, especially since I live here and visit it often. This tour made me realize how little I knew about my own city. The outdoor portion around the Meat Packing area was very interesting and I will definetly be returning to the area with a different perspective.
Our tour guide was great too! I would definetly do this again! |

| Curt was a wonderful guide and very entertaining. My mom is over 60 and loved him. She thought he was great.
I am from Atlanta and have done the Greenwich Village tour twice. Your tours are very entertaining and a break from the ordinary. The Chelsea Market tour was great. The food portions were very large and the different types of food were great. We have said on all occasions that your tours are the best part of our vacation (next to Canal street, just kidding).
Thanks.
I hope you have another new one next time I visit the Big Apple. |

| We both highly enjoyed the tour. I am a freelance food writer, so I signed up to taste all the goodies at Chelsea Market. The food was excellent, and so plentiful that I had to start rationing it! My boyfriend loves facts and history and he enjoyed the food as well as the many myriad details about the market itself and the surrounding neighborhood. Three hours into the tour, we were still interested and as enthusiastic as we were at the start. Highly recommended! |

| Our group thoroughly enjoyed the tasting and walking tour. Our tour guide was well informed, very friendly and very enthusiastic about the area. We learned about the ethnic influence and foods and the history of the area. The food was plentiful and very good. We enjoyed it so much that we want to take the Grenwich Village tour when we return to NYC. |

| First, I rarely do reviews - and even more rarely go on tours when I travel, feeling they often blast through well known parts of a city, giving only surface detail at best. This is not the case here, and the reason I'm writing this review. I was thoroughly impressed with both the content of the tour and it's layout - I never felt like we were rushed, and the order in which we tasted foods made sense for the time of day. Todd is incredibly knowledgable, with a great sense of humor, and willing to answer all questions. He clearly has a passion for NYC and for these areas specifically, and of course, food! I had visited NYC before, but hadn't spent much time in Chelsea/Meatpacking District so thought this would be a great way to get acquainted. This tour went beyond my expectations on every level - and seeing these areas just added more items to my list of things I love about new york. I can't recommend this tour highly enough. Best $40 I spent in NYC on this trip, hands down. Thanks! |

| We enjoyed this tour very much. There were 7 of us in the group and we especially enjoyed the market. Of course, most of us have watched the food channel, and look forward to seeing more of the food channel since we have been to the market. I am sure the Meatpacking area will improve as changes are made.
We also went on the Greenwich tour several months ago, and that had more to offer as far as restaurants were concerned.
However, we would recommend both tours, and have done so. No one has been disappointed.
