| We loved our guide, Curt. He was fun and funny. The food was great! I learned and became familiar with this area and more than I expected. This is fun for all. |

| This was a delightful tour. My tour enjoyed learning about the history of the building and this entire area of NYC which we had never visited before on previous visits. The tasting part of the tour was delightful as well. The "famous" bisquits that we tasted at Sarabeth's were the only part of the tour that was disappointing. We're from the South, and we know our bisquits. These were NOT good bisquits. The lobster bisque from The Lobster Place was outstanding, however, and our tour guide, Darrell, was worth the price of the tour. |

| Our guide, Diana, was awesome! She is full of historic facts and makes it fun to hear about the origins of the Chelsea Market building. She always had us laughing! It seems she enjoys the tour as much as we all did!
Lots of great food, great vendors, and fun! Would definitely recommend it! |

| I spent my 61st birthday on a tour with Darren (guide) and my son, who lives in NYC.
We had great fun. Darren was knowledgeable, considerate, personable and efficient.
I enjoyed learning about the rich history of the area as well as the background of its present day tenants. We very much enjoyed the frequent samples and tastings as well as the special attention they gave my special dietary restrictions. I am looking forward to going on another food tour when I am back in the city again, hopefully this spring.
Keep up the good work!! |

| The Chelsea Mkt / Meatpacking District Food Tasting Tour was awesome! We have been on walking tours in cities all over the world, but this was our first tasting tour. I thought that we would have small samples of different kinds of food but what we got were big tasty helpings. The Chelsea Market also has an amazing history and has even more amazing art installations. We learned so much about the building that we never would have known if we had visited on our own. (Including who some of the upstairs tenants are. I especially love the elevators!)
Our guide was great. She answered any and all questions, she paced the walk well and was able to relate to a range of ages from teenagers to seniors.
In conclusion, I would HIGHLY recommend this tour to all my friends and to anyone who wants an informational as well as delicious New York experience! |

| 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! |
