| Daryl was a great tour guide. He had a lot of historical information to share and he did so with great wit.
I would recommend this tour to anyone, even locals. Expect to eat a lot of food from all the vendors at the Chelsea Market. |

| We assembled with our guide on time at the market. Our guide , Bob was charming, funny and very well informed. It was obvious that he really enjoyed his job. We tasted many delicious foods within Chelsea Market and we learned all about the area and its history. We continued onto the HighLine which was a new experience and we were all delighted with the information Bob provided about the area. Our last stop in the meatpacking district was a gourmet delight and we all left satisfied educationally and with full stomachs. We are looking forward to another experience in the spring with Food Tours. |

| Chelsea Market took on new meaning during this tour due in large part to our guide Diana...The market came to life after Diana disclosed the history of its owner Irwin Cohen, and the amazing vision he had for developing it. The food offered at all the stops we made was fresh, delicious and plentiful, and the shop keepers were not only prepared with our "samples," but seemed pleased to see us all there. Diana was well versed in all questions culinary, and was happy to exchange stories with us as well.
Our walk into the meat packing district was a 'real New York neighborhood story', full of anecdotal reference to ghosts of 14 Street's past, after which we all had a very vivid picture of what the area was like compared to what it is now.
The icing on the cake moment came when we approached Little West 12th street near Pastis, where we all thought the tour would end, but Diana escorted us across the street to a wonderful example of a family owned and operated Italian restaurant where we we served our last sampling of food of the area, penne with oxtail ragu...Yummmmmmm!
We will certainly try another tour and request Diana again soon! We had a great experience. |

| Great food, great history -- and a bargain! When they say you won't need lunch after the tour, they mean it. This tour is a MUST! |

| The tour was both enjoyable and fun, Curt (red head) was very knowledgeable, and made sure to include everyone. It was a little hard to hear everything he said when we left Chelse Market and ventured outside, but I still wouldn't have eliminated anything.
Thanks for a great time.

| My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our Food Tour. There was a great variety of options available, and the guide was wonderfully sensitive to the allergies present in our group. Our one criticism would be the lack of food available outside of the Chelsea Market- despite visiting a number of restaurants in the Meatpacking District, we actually only ate at 1 restaurant outside of the Market. More time spent in the area would have been great.
Thank you for such a great institution! |

| Our tour guide was wonderful, informative, well spoken and knowledgeable. There was more than enough food for the afternoon; lunch is taken care of on this tour. All of the selections were great. My only regret is that we didn't have time to browse or shop during the tour and had to return later on. I will know in the future to allow myself time for shopping. Well worth every penny. |
