| I would recommend this tour to anyone! Wendy did an excellent job of incorporating her knowledge of the area with humor. She was absolutely delightful to take a tour with. |

| the tour was very informative, food was great and Wendy kept us on a tight schedule. Lobster bisque and the chance sighting of Paula Dean were worth Wendy's attitude. |

| When my husband and I planned our trip to New York, the Chelsea Market /
Meatpacking Food Tasting Tour was scheduled at the last minute because I had just bought Rachael Ray's Magazine and saw the ad for the tour. We had no idea what it was about and we had never heard of the Chelsea Market...but...it turned out to be the highlight of our vacation! We had such a wonderful time...fun, laughter, informative, good food, nice people, fantastic bake and food shops are just a few adjectives to describe the experience. And Kurt....what a delightful and nice young man! I He made us feel so welcomed...and was genuinely concerned that all of us in his group tour were having fun and that we got enough to eat. He was very informative and knowledgeable as he led the tour. He gave us good advice and good tips about the meatpacking district. We wanted to take the Greenwich Village Food Tasting Tour, but that Friday was our last day in New York.
We plan to visit New York again...and the first thing we are going to do is to take the Greenwich Village Food Tasting Tour and again the Chelsea Market tour ...and I hope that we're lucky to get Kurt again for both tours. |

| Kurt was great and full of information regarding the Chelesa Market. He kept us entertained and gave great advise. My husband and I went back the next day to have lunch at Chelesa Market. He also had great advise for the surrounding area. Would encourage others to take advantage of this tour. We can't wait til our next trip to do one of the other tours. |

| We learned so much about the Chelsea Market and the surrounding area. Our tour guide, Cindy, was a lot of fun and told us a lot of interesting tidbits of information. The food was terrific and filling. I highly recommend this tour for locals and tourists alike. |

| We visit NY annually as a holiday treat and decided to try this tour. The history of the area and the wonderfully delicious and diverse food kept your interest for the entire 3 hours. We can't wait to see what Chelsea Market and the Meat Packing District looks like in a few years this is an up and coming area. If you are a Food Network junky this is a must they tape the shows upstairs and if you watch Emeril he always references shopping downstairs at the market. Amy's breads has a sourdough chocolate bread too die for! We were so full by the time the tour ended that we did not eat dinner until late in the evening. Cindy our tour guide was outstanding her knowledge endless, great sense of humor and she was helpful even after the tour ended. Well worth the money! |

| First of all this tour was fabulous as was the tour guide, Cindy. The history and nuances of the Market was fasinating, not to mention all the delectables found inside. My husband is a gourmet cook and everything was on par with his cooking. We had a short walk around the neighborhood, perhaps a little shorter than normal for it was quite cold. I felt fortunate to have seen the area before "progress" takes over. Unfortunately I had a meeting to go to so I couldn't revisit as many shops as desired. Be sure and allow yourself 2 extra hours to browse the stores, restaurants, and neighborhood. In fact go ahead and make early dinner resevations at Frank's Steak House and use the in between time to indulge in the area. It will be first on my list for my next trip back to NYC. Maybe I'll be able to stay in that area! |
