| The food we tasted was very good, but I would have liked to sample additional choices. Our tour guide (Curt), although not a native New Yorker, was excellent , and very well informed. His presentation was humorous, enthusiastic and interesting. As a lifelong New Yorker I appreciated all three. |

A lot of fun

| Let me start by saying that I love everything about NYC and have come back often--for the last 52 years.
I try to take at least one walking tour each time I visit... I feel it is the best way to really get to know & feel the particular area.
This Chelsea/Meatpacking Tour was wonderful. Our tour guide was great--he was enthusiastic, knowledgable, helpful, and fun.
I have already suggested this tour to my New York friends.

| We thoroughly enjoyed this tour - the guide was terrific, especially as it was her first time leading a group! She was very well informed and had a great sense of humour. The highlight (for me) was to learn so much about the building and the area - the food tastings were the icing on the cake! My friend had already done your tour of Greenwich Village a year or two ago and she loved that one as well - so that will be on my program on my next visit to NYC. I have already recommended this to several people out here in California! Keep up the great work. |

| We have gone on other walking tours but have never enjoyed one so much as this one. Our guide -- I think her name was Kim--- said it was her first guide on her own. She was fabulous!! Very enthusiastic, informative and had a wonderful sense of humor. We would highly recommend this walking tour. We loved it so much we are planning on doing it again next year!
Thank you, thank you. In an area where everything is so expensive, this was a bargain an well worth the small expense. |

| This tour was part of my gift to my mom for her mother's day/b'day trip to NYC. A year ago I took the Greenwich Village tour with this company and enjoyed it so much I wanted to do another tour. Our guide, Wendy, was FABULOUS! She had so much energy and enthusiasm it was contagious. This was Wendy’s first solo tour and you would never know it…she seemed like she had been doing this for years.
I loved the 2 hours we spent in Chelsea Market and would have been happy if the tour ended there as I wasn’t overly impressed with the Meat Packing District part of the tour. It is great that the stores and restaurants have transformed the meat packing plants into their current businesses while still maintaining part of the “charm” of the district in its heyday, but overall that part of the tour was not as interesting.
The food on this tour was fabulous…we literally ate our way through Chelsea Market! I enjoyed hearing how some of the shops got there start and appreciated the way generations of families have been working in the family business. In The Lobster Place, we got to meet Herman the 11 pound lobster!
Both the Chelsea and Village tours were interesting in their own respect and I do recommend taking a trip to both areas on your next visit to NYC.

| Fern & the girls visit NYC annually and we all agreed that this is one of the highlights of our trip this year. Kirt was great! Very informative and a wonderful sense of humor. We learned a lot about the area while eating our way through the market - food was delicious - chocolate sour dough bread from Amy's was our favorite. We highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning about the area. Chelsea is lucky that Mr. Cohen took on such an ambitious project. |
