| This was my second time to do the market. Kurt is absolutely delightful and very, very informative. Every tour leader should be like Kurt! I can't say enough good things about him. You are learning constantly. I had also signed up for the Greenwich Village tour, and Kurt was also the leader. And of course, the tour was fantastic. He is always telling us history, in a fun way, about different establishments, people, housing,and the history of the buildings. It was just a fantastic two tours. I will go on the tours next year.

| Kurt, the tour guide, was enthusiastic and well-informed. He took the time to get acquainted with each of the tour members, and was always conscience of the food needs of our multi-aged group. He gave us a lot of insight into the Chelsea Market, as well as the food bought/sold there. It was unbelievable how many different food samples we were offered at the market, and then ending with a plate of pasta with a delicious ox-tail ragu sauce! You definitely do not need to worry about lunch. |

| Kurt was our guide and he was awesome. He actually made a point to memorize everyone's first name and he had an exceptional personality. The Nabisco Building has tons of history and the food on the tour was outstanding. The guide new the owners at all our stops and made our visits up close and personal. We totally enjoyed every moment of this tour!! |

| This tour was recommended to us by friends. We booked it as a Father's Day gift. We have adult children (20's) and found that we all enjoyed the tour. The food was delivered in much larger portions than we expected! Every stop was fantastic. I would definately book this tour! |

| Tour and tour guide were excellent. Think of the "tour" as a combination of food tasting and history of the district. Good variety and portions of food. A very nice and different thing to do in the city. |

| Our guide, Diana, was very friendly and knowledgable about the area. She kept the group moving together. We enjoyed the generous samples at each place. We will recommend it to visitors and are planning to take more. |

| What an excellent experience! So much history, anecdotes, information and delicious food. Our tour guide was very personable and had great information to share. The shops we visited couldn't have been more accommodating and every tasting was terrific.
I've done the Greenwich Village tour and thought that was excellent as well. I treated a friend to this one as a birthday gift and she was totally surprised at how great the experience was. I am eager to do the Soho one next.
Thanks so much! |

| This tour was one of the highlights of our 10 day trip to NYC. The guide was energetic and entertaining. We wish we had done this the first weekend we were in town instead of the 2nd so we could have taken better advantage of the wealth of knowledge we gained from the engaging guide. |

| I 100% recommend this tour. I took my Dad on this tour for Father's Day and both of us enjoyed it. We live 1 hour outside of the city and have never been to Chelsea Market or the Meatpacking district. I had originally signed 2 other people to come with me, and last minute 1 backed out. Our tour guide named Kurt was top notch. He was full of energy and there was never a dull moment. He kept the group on their toes and informed every minute of the 3 hours. He took the time to get to know each and everyone of us and once he knew I was missing 1 person he made sure I took home some goodies to the missing person. I loved everything I tasted and thought the set up was well organized. Going in to this I was thinking the food tasting portions would be small. I was wrong. The cookie I tasted was so big it lasted me to the next to spots. Kurt gave lots of information on the history of Chelsea Market and the Meatopacking district and my dad loved that! I give this tour a A+ and its great for the price. I would recommend this to everyone!!! |
