| The Chelsea Market was a unique experience that involved all our senses. We were truly led to all the right places and learned unique information about the location, vendors, spaces, neighborhood. I would however suggest the tour guide take less time to inject her own perceptions and opinions about the local economy, growth, tennants, etc. I believe many of her remarks were not true, biased, and uncalled for.
I believe she misled many of the domestic/international tourists regarding reputation, importance, and relevance to many situations. But the food portion was incredible. How lucky you are to have the Market in your town. Thanks |

| This was an awesome tour - well worth the money. My husband was apprehensive, because he was only one of three guys, but thoroughly enjoyed himself! The food was tasty and the info. about the Chelsea Market and surroundings was very interesting. I enjoyed learning about the backgrounds of the store's owners, as well.
Kurt, our tour guide, did a great job. He was informative and very witty. I definitely want to go again and would request him!
Only thing - wish there were more bathroom facilities on the tour - but it does not deter me from taking it again!!!

| The four in my group all really enjoyed the adventure. Our guide, Chad was very informative of the area as well as the places we stopped to have a sample. We enjoyed the tour so much that when I return in July with family, we are going to tour the Greenwich Village site. Can't wait.
Thanks for a great tour Chad.

| Our group was very impressed by the knowledge and enthusiam shared by our guide, Todd. The merchants we visited were all very hospitable and allowed us access to their prep areas. We were able to return , make several purchases and have dinner at Frank's Steakhouse - it was excellent. Thanks. |

| 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. |

| 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. |
