| 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 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! |

| We have been to NYC many times and always find something new and wonderful. Your Chelsea Market Walking/Eating tour was our highlight this year. The Tour Guide was engaging and enthusiastic and the food was incredible. We recommend it to anyone thinking about going. It is well worth the money and it showed us some new exciting restaurants to go to, but the Hogs and Heffers barmaid in Chelsea was rude and obnoxious.

| Our group comes to NYC each year for a week-end during December. We have been coming since 1993. This tour was the best activity we have ever had.The vendors selected were fun to visit and the food selected to taste was delicious.
Our guide Curt was knowledable, friendly and so funny.It was evident that he had a wealth of knowledge during his narrative that you cannot get just by reading a fact sheet. He gave inside tips, jokes, and commentaries that make us want to visit the Chelsea area and the resaturants during our next trip.
Give Curt a raise. He made the tour.! |

| This is my second tour-the first one was the Greenwich Village tour a few years ago. Cindy was my guide for both tours--she is both knowledgable and enthusiastic about her subject and also great fun. It really makes you fall in love with New York (even more) when you become more familiar with places where real New Yorkers live, work, play and eat!! The food was outstanding! |
