| I have to admit I was sceptical of a "tour" when my wife suggested it and especially of the "meatpacking district" that I remembered as an area that you didn't even drive thru in the old days and now to do a walking tour was incomprehensible especially when rain was predicted!!! Wow was I wrong.
This was the absolute highlight of our trip (except for seeing "Memphis"!!) The guide was full of personality and just plain fun . We got a great history lesson of the area and the "samples" of the food places was incredible in addition to going thru some fabulous restaurants. Toward the end I was hoping that she would not stop at another food place as I was so full of fabulous foods from all over the country. This is a tour for all ages above 21. We will certainly do this type of tour from your company next time we are in town. Thanks so much for the professionalism and great guidance. |

| Curt made the event. He was outstanding. Very personal. Very Knowledegable. Good sense of humor and energetic. You get more food than on the Grenwich tour and it's all good. You learn a lot about the area too. |

| Came across this tour by accident on the internet. Was planning to do a tour of manhatten and heard about the tour that the Food Network did on a very limited basis in 2008 and wanted to visit the Food Network. After google searching, came across this Food Tour of Chelesa Market. Read the description and was curious. Spoke with my friend and we decided to take the tour. Tour guide was very knowledgeable about the Market. Description about going on tour on an empty stomach was a good suggestion. Sampling was throughout the 3 hour tour. Very informative and exciting on my part since I am a self proclamed "foodie." Both of us enjoyed stops along the tour that interested us in our own specific taste. I never knew I could get so excitied about a milk bar that served oatmeal. The Corn and Crab Chowder at the Lobster Place was to die for as my friend enjoyed the Lobster Bisque. The tour held no more than 15 people, which was just about right since we went on a crowded Saturday. It is recommended that you wear good walking shoes, since you will be on your feet for about 90% of the time. Had the opportunity to do a wine tasting. Yum. The meat packing district was a informative segment of the tour. I would do this tour again. This tour was taken on 10/14/08; 11:30am. |

| Chelsea Market tour was really delicious - both in content and samplings. Lots of esoteric information about the area and the building, and the vendors in the building. We ended up patronizing some of them in other areas of the City. |

| We (four of us - two from Roswell, GA (Metro Atlanta) - two from Bluffton, SC really enjoyed the tour. Loved the food, the tour of the area, the history of the district, and we were very happy to have Dianna as our tour guide. Our second time on this tour - we took the first a year or so after it stared; amazing to see the change and evolution since that time in the "meat packing district." Also amazing that the "Cyote Ugly" bar is still there! |

| The tour was informative, well organized, and friendly. Curt, our guide was great. He is knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. The locals are elements of any tour. The guide makes the experience good or bad. With a guide like Curt you get more than what you hoped for. This is one of the best guided tours I ever been on. And, I've been on tours all over the world. Thanks, Curt! |
