| My husband and I took this tour because it was one of the least known areas of New York for us. I would highly recommend this tour. We learned that the 1st oreo cookie was made in the old factory building . Our tour guide was Fantastic!!!!! He made the tour an A+. He had a knowledge of not only the restuarants and businesses we toured, he also knew about the food industry. Very smart, witty, and personal. By the end of the tour, he knew everyone by first name and where they lived. I would request him again. |

| We really enjoyed our tour! Our guide Cindy was very funny, keeping an accurate head count, passing out water, and making sure that we were comfortable. She was very knowledgeable about the area and appeared to really enjoy sharing information about her neighborhood. We plan on returning to the Meatpacking district and are considering taking other tours. |

| 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! |

| I attended the 3hr chelsea food market/meatpacking district tour on the 5th April 2008 and would highly recommend it. The guide was really friendly and informative and the food samples were fabulous! We were allowed to sample cookies, soup from a lobster shop, italian delicacies, gelato, scones, jams and probably plenty more that I have forgotten. It is a great way to get a feel for part of NYC you may not normally visit as a tourist but gives you a great feel for the area.
Highly recommended! |

| This is the 2nd tour I've taken and it was worth every minute. Not only was the food we tasted really delicious and generous, the guide (Bob) was so extremely knowledgable that I've been enthusiastically telling everyone I talk to about Chelsea Market and the Meatpacking District.
When the tour was over, I called my daughter and her friend who had also come down to the City with us and asked them to join us to go back to Chelsea Market for a while. We all had a wonderful time. |

Great guide & delicious food!

| I took the tour as an individual since my husband was in town for business and couldn't come with me. It was wonderful - I got to see a historic part of the city, taste some great food, and meet other enthusiastic foodies on the tour.
Our guide, Diane, was everything you would hope a guide to be - knowledgeable, fun, warm, and she kept us moving at a good pace. I can't wait to try another tour the next time we visit! |

| This tour was informative and had a nice variety of food choices. Our group was small and felt more personal. Our guide was friendly and full of facts about the market and surrounding areas. I would have loved to visit the whole city with her! We had a wonderful time. |

| The Chelsea Market Tour was a wonderful way to learn about Chelsea Market and the Meat Packing District. I live locally and didn't know the history of the Market, so qiute informative. Our guide (Ed) was really knowledgable and the food along the way was delicious. Come hungry! |

| My girlfriend and I met up with an old friend of mine in the city (she from Atlanta, us from Connecticut) and thought this would be a great way to spend the day. I have done Broadway and the Times Square area many of times, but this was by far my favorite trip into the city.
Our tour guide, Curt, was an excellent host for our 3 hours in Chelsea/Meatpacking and provided an outstanding experience and fun time. His memory for the names of the group members and the history of the area was phenomenal, and his meal ideas made me salivate. I am recommending these tours to my friends and family and telling them all to request Curt.
Thank you so much for an amazing day! |

| This was a great tour, it's absolutely worth it, the food is great at the guide was very entertaining.
Little tip though: don't have a late breakfast before the tour starts, but that's probably common sense now that i think of it.
Too bad we didn't have any more time to try one of the other food tours! Next time... |
