| We've done 2 others in the village. have enjoyed them all. Probably preferred the other 2 because more useful restaurant (vs. shop) information than this one. But still very enjoyable. |

a great introduction to the area

| Our guide-Kurt- was excellent.Very humorous and informative. I would suggest that the cookie sample be near the end since it almost filled us up and we were just starting. We would have liked to have visited more restaurants in the area as you do in the Soho tour. We will be back to try your Chinatown tour on our next visit to New York. |

| All of the restaurants/shops were all in the indoor Chelsea Market. I don't think this is represntative of a neighborhood sampling. However, tour was enjoyable, food was plentiful, and guide was pleasnt and knowledgable. |

| Kurt was our tour guide and he was excellent. He is extremely knowledgable, has great energy, is very friendly, and remembered everyone's name on the tour...and there were about 14 or 15 of us! Absolutely worth the time and money to see a side of NYC that we typically wouldn't have explored by ourselves. |

| I live in Chelsea so I know the market pretty well. Our tour guide was nice and fun but I think that not worth it. I was hoping for more historical information and access to areas that aren't available to the public. The historical facts were foggy at best (dates were specific down to centuries ie. 1800s and dollar figures were expressed in nebulous terms like "godzillions"). I was hoping for the tour to be more informative. It was also loooong. I knew that it would be 3 hours but I did not think that it would be filled with so much time waiting to go on to the next vendor. I would recommend taking the money that you would have spent on this tour and just go to the market and buy a bunch of food, ask vendors questions and be done with it in half the time. |

| I took the tour slightly reluctantly. Although I love to eat, I am neither a cook nor am I particularly interested in cooking or food preparation. In fact, I watch food network only when my daughter happens to have it on TV as I walk by. Needless to say, I was not expecting to really enjoy the tour (I went reluctantly with my wife and friends). I had a great time, The guide was exceptional (and although he learned my name in less than three minutes, embarrassingly, I cannot recall his). The entire idea was creative and totally a different touristic activity, It was very interactive and provided a fascinating insight. I have enthusiastically recmmended to several friends that will be traveling to NYC soon, and I'm looking forward to my next visit there, so I can take one of your other tours. Congratulations on a spectacular idea and outstanding execution of it in a most creative entertaining mnner! |

| Curt was our tour guide and he was amazing. Kept it lively and interesting. We learned alot about the history of the area in addition to all of the food.
My only suggestion would be to specify that the majority of the tour is indoors. Several of the people in our group including me and my wife had dressed assuming we would be walking outside for 3 hours and ended up being pretty HOT for 2 1/2 hours indoors.
But the tour itself was fantastic and we have already recommended it to friends going o NY this weekend. |

| Too much desserts, not enough food. A little less info on Food Network would have been appreciated. Incredible history and sightseeing in the neighborhood. |
