| This was a great way to spend some time in NYC, see things we would not have seen on our own, oh yes, and to eat some good food. Our guide was excellent, and as on most tours, made this one as great as it was. In fact, the food was in some ways the least of the tour. We intend to go on the Village tour next time we are back. |

| My husband and I really enjoyed our Food Tour through Chelsea Marketplace. We were very impressed with the portions and presentaion of the food samples.
Our tour guide Daryl was very helpful and knowlegable. He was a warm person. Our group was somewhat friendly.
My husband has his follow up medical appointment at Sloan Kettering next summer, and we plan on taking the Greenich Village Food Tour if time permits.
Great Idea, I'm glad I stumbled upon the tour pamphlet on my last visit to NYC.

| This tour was one of the highlights of our trip. Everything we tasted was fabulous! Darryl was funny and entertaining and went out of his way to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. I loved all of his sides stories about the sites we were seeing. Don't hesitate to purchase these tickets, it will be worth every penny! |

| I lived in New York years ago when the Nabisco building was abandoned. Coming back for a visit, I was amazed at the transformation of the Chelsea Market. The bakeries, wine vault, seafood market and vegetable markets were some of the businesses that lined the hallways of the old Nabisco building. I strongly suggest that if you once lived in NY and are returning for a visit you must take this tour. It is amazing how the entire area has changed. It was wonderful. |

| I think the tour is a great activity - especially if the weather is bad. Most of the tour was inside a building so it does not matter what the weather is like. I found the information interesting - the guide informative and entertaining - the food was excellent. Standing on concrete for long periods of time is difficult for the elderly. I wish I could have gone shopping during the tour but I understand that would prevent the tour from a time schedule. I wish some of the places could have given us coupons to use if we came back later. |

| This tour exceeded my expectations. Our tour guide was fun and informative. I look forward to returning and doing the other tour. I do hope you add Soho or others to the options. Food was delicious. I also loved the tidbits of history and trivia. |

| I am from Brooklyn and have never been to the Chelsea Market so when a foodie friend of my was in town I thought that it would be fun. It exceeded my expectations! Great tastings and an attentive and knowledgable tour guide. |

| My husband and I really enjoyed our tour with our leader Cindy. She had a great deal of knowledge of the market and the area that we toured. We saw a part of New York that we would not have seen if it were not for the tour. It made us venture out of the area we stayed in and see a place that was totally different. The market was very unique and memorable. The food on the tour was great and also things that we probably wouldn't have tried on our own. It was worth the time and effort and Cindy is a great guide! I would take another of their walking tours on a future trip.

| My husband and I were on vacation in New York . The tour was great! Curt (I hope I have his name spelled correctly) was entertaining and informative. The different foods we sampled were outstanding, especially the chowders at The Lobster Place.
We certainly enjoyed learning the history of Chelsea Market and the Meatpacking District. It was good to learn that particular area of New York was going through a restoration and renovation process. It is a part of New York that deserves to be saved. Curt's knowledge of the area helped make the tour that more interesting.
I am a regular viewer of programs of the Food Network. That is how I learned about the tour at Chelsea Market. My husband and I recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys learning about food and its history. If we get the opportunity to return to New York, we will visit Chelsea Market again. |
