| We had a wonderful time and learned a great deal while we enjoyed delicious foods from the market. Todd, our tour guide, was knowledgable and genuinely enjoyed giving the tour. This made the experience that much more exciting. It was fantastic and we have already recommended this tour to family and friends. |

| I have to say that it was one of the best parts of our trip to New York!! The tour was very informative, fun and was a great way to see a special part of New York. I would definitely recommend it to anyone going to New York and actually already have. If we do make it back to New York again the Grenwich Village tour will definitely be on our list.
Our guide Todd was great! |

| I'm a born and bred New Yorker so I did not expect to learn as much as I did! Our tour guide - Bob - was incredible. Full of interesting and little known facts. And the food was great! What I loved was that I got to try things I may not have otherwise ventured to taste - and I enjoyed everything! Everyone I brought on the tour also really enjoyed it and I know we will all enthusiastically recommend this tour to anyone and everyone looking for something fun and different to do in NY!! |

| Hi,
The Chelsea Mkt / Gourmet Food Tour was fantastic, really. Our tour guide, Kurt, was extremely well prepared, informative, interesting and actually quite funny. He not only lead us on an excellent introduction to the market itself, the proveyors and the nieghborhood, but also pulled the group together in an easy way that added yet another dimension to the overall experience. I have already promoted the tour to several others and will look forward to going on one or another of the other Manhattan area tours.
Cheers, alex |

| There were a group of nine of us who decided to do the tour in Chelsea this year. Last year many of the women went to the tour in the Village and loved it. I lived in Chelsea for a few years and thought I'd see a lot of new things I haven't experienced, however, the entire tour was based in the Chelsea Market which is not very clear on the Website. Then when you leave the market you get to see three restaurants - but the two best ones you don't even get to have a tasting at their establishment.
However, my biggest complaint was our tour guide. I thought she was rude and extremely unprofessional. Her comments and remarks could have easily offended someone, however, I married a New York boy so I'm used to it. When I asked a simple question of wanting to know where we would be visiting today - she had a tone and was extremely rude!!!
To be honest, I could have given the tour much better and I would have been so much more polite and 'at ease' than she was. You could barely get her to give us enough time to take a picture - and all we wanted was a relaxing day - not a rushed one....very disappointed.

| Diana was our tour guide, she was excellent! Very informative and fun.
As for the food, it was above and beyond our expectations and much larger quantities than we thought they would be. Needless to say we were very full by the end of the tour, the food was wonderful.
The weather was not that great but most of the time we were indoors so it really didn't affect our tour much at all.
We even lucked out and had a wine tasting at both Delposto and then later at the Wine Vault. (Not normally part of the tour, but we in the right place/right time).
We had such a nice group of people from different states as well as locals.
We enjoyed this tour so much that we are already planning to do a different one in the spring!
Thanks Diana, you were great!

| We absolutely loved the tour. We are all from the city, but our tour let us in on some local secrets that will absolutely become part of our food routine! We learned so much about the area, and the food was all the more special after knowing it's history! |

| Right from the start it was great. Diana was very informative, funny and led the tour with great ease. With each stop we got an informative history of the market; the building of it, the vendors, etc.
Tour was alot of fun, we sampled cookies, pasta, soups, gelato, but what was especially nice - we sampled foods we might not have ever tried.
DIANA WAS A GREAT TOUR GUIDE - WE WILL DEFINITELY TRY ANOTHER |

| We had a wonderful tour and got to learn the history of how the market came to be and why. The food tastings were fun and a sneak peak at Morimoto's restaurant was exciting. The walk on the highline was perfect and the weather held up thankfully... Our guide was very knowledgeable about the market and some of the more famous NY residents! He made it fun and it was well paced. I didn't even notice I was basically on my feet for three hours! I would take the tour again and would certainly recommend it.
Thanks for offering such a wonderful NY experience... |
