| I enjoyed the tour overall, but I preferred the Greenwich Village tour. I thought that there was some interesting facts and information as well as nice food tastings on this tour, but feel that the Village tour had more to offer in terms of food value and neighborhood facts. Good tour to do in inclement weather because most of the time is spent indoors at the Chelsea market. |

Loved our tour- we highly recommend it!

| We had a great time touring the Chelsea Market and Meatpacking district!
All the food we got to sample was so yummy. We were really happy with the serving size at each stop. You really don't need to have lunch afterwards. There's a great mix of different kinds of food to try.
It was definately worth the money.
Our tour guide, Kurt was so enthusiastic and descriptive. He made the tour. We don't know about any of the other tour guides, but if you get Kurt, you're going to have a good time.
You can tour the Chelsea Market on your own, but you won't be able to sample the food and you won't learn any of the history ot the area.
We wish there were more tours out there like this one. |

| A few months ago we went on the Greenwich Village Walking tour and we thought that one was wonderful. However, the Chelsea/ Meat Packing is just as wonderful. Our tour guide Todd was most informative and pleasant. Our tastings were delicious and fun. It's amazing the history that is here in NYC and to be shared for everyone's enjoyment. We highly recommend this tour to everyone. We will definitly be joining other Zerve tours in the future. |

| The tour was a delightful way to spend a few hours. It provided me with the history of this area of the City and included projected future plans for the area. Touring old buildings that have been transformed into useful businesses was fun to see and fun for shopping. I plan to revisit this area again. The guide was pleasant and answered any questions the group presented. The group was small enough that we were able to bond for the three hour walking tour. This also made it very pleasant. While this is considered a walking tour, there was ample time to take a few short stops and sit for a bit. I highly recommend this tour to others and hope that they enjoy it as much as my friends and I did. Considering all that was included, we did not feel the need to have lunch, and in fact, I had a light supper that night. I'm now looking forward to taking another tour that I will book through Zerve. |

| We throughly enjoyed the Chelsea walking tour and highly recommend it to everyone! We had a wide variety of delicious food and had so much to eat that we couldn't eat the dessert. The tour of the meat-packing district was wonderful---again highly recommend this tour! |

| Nice when it's really hot outside. You'll be inside most of the time. The food sample is enough to fill you up through lunch. Most of it was really good. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. Thanks Wendy! |

| Curt was most informative & entertaining as our food tour guide. As "native" New Yorkers taking our Floridian teenage grandson around, we discovered a NYC treasure for ourselves - the Chelsea Market. Not only do we plan to return there on our own, but several of our friends plan to go to the Chelsea Market (& possibly the Meatpacking District) based on our recommendation. |

| First of all I should say the tour we did was of Greenwich Village. After we had purchased the Chelsea tickets we needed to add another person and the Chelsea tour was full, so they offered the Greenwich Village tour instead. I am returning to NYC in November and plan to do the Chelsea/Meatpacking tour. The Greenwich Village tour was so much fun! The tour guide, Mike, was awsome. He was knowledgeable and funny and the neighborhood loved him. He knew so many people on the street. The handout we received is great. It lists the places Mike talked about with the addresses, a map, and a sample menu of many of the restaurants. The food we tasted was delicious and I was full after the tour. After the tour my friends and I made so many trips to the village to try the places Mike recommended and we LOVED everything we ate! The tour was a definate highlight to my vacation! I recommend it 100%, enthusiasticallty!!!!! I cannot wait to do the other tour in November! |
