| Kurt, the tour guide, was enthusiastic and well-informed. He took the time to get acquainted with each of the tour members, and was always conscience of the food needs of our multi-aged group. He gave us a lot of insight into the Chelsea Market, as well as the food bought/sold there. It was unbelievable how many different food samples we were offered at the market, and then ending with a plate of pasta with a delicious ox-tail ragu sauce! You definitely do not need to worry about lunch. |

| This was my second time to do the market. Kurt is absolutely delightful and very, very informative. Every tour leader should be like Kurt! I can't say enough good things about him. You are learning constantly. I had also signed up for the Greenwich Village tour, and Kurt was also the leader. And of course, the tour was fantastic. He is always telling us history, in a fun way, about different establishments, people, housing,and the history of the buildings. It was just a fantastic two tours. I will go on the tours next year.

| My friend and I had a great time on the tour, we plan to do more from Zerve. Our guide that day was funny and a joy and full of fun facts and interesting history that even a history buff of the area would not be aware of. If you have an afternoon free and would like to spend it playing tourist in your own NY back yard this is the way to go. Or if you are visiting NYC and would like see a small bit of its history in food and landmarks this is the way to go. |

| We can't wait to get back to do more tours. Between the wonderful food, the interesting background and the congenial guide, the 3 hours seemed almost too short - even while wrangling 3 small children. Chelsea Market not only has some neat history but also does a great job of showing where the area is heading. |

| Thoroughly enjoyed the Chelsea/meatpacking district tour. Our tour guide was personable and very knowlegeable about the area. Food tastings were delicious, unique with a wide variety of foods to try. Great to do around lunch time...definitely fills you up. Plan to try the SOHO tour next year. This was a delicious way to spend the afternoon! |

| My sister (44), son (18) and I (50) thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Bob was a very informative guide and an excellent ambassador for the Chelsea/Meatpacking district. As a former New York resident, I always felt that area was run down and unsafe. I am impressed by the redevelopment. The food tastings were excellent and enough for a meal over the course of the 3 hour tour. The list of restaurants will come in handy in the future. Our immediate post-tour visit to the recently opened Hi-Line is also recommended. |

| Our food tour of Chelsea Market and the meatpacking district was the right combination of history and food tasting. We loved some of the food so much that we tried to go back one evening for dessert at Elani's (Elini's??bakery), but we were too late and it was closed. To die for cupcakes and the Everything cookies were amazing, too. |
