| This is the second tour we've taken, and both were lots of fun and interesting. I found this one to be a little more about the food than the Greenwich Village tour, and I prefer a little more focus on the history than the food, but still was satisfied as the tour guide was energetic and funny and full of information. |

| Enjoyed the guide and the tour. I would like a little more in the way of historical information. Also, although it is implied that lunch will not be "necessary" due to the amount of food tasted during the tour, that is not altogether accurate. I certainly did not look for a full course meal, but by the same token, the bare minimum given in a couple of places emphasized more (although cleverly combined), that this was also an advertising tour, and diminished somewhat the appearance of it being an historical one, and left us looking for a place to eat when the tour was done. As a matter of convenience, I would also like the tour to finish where it began, since many participants were very interested in purchasing some of the items that the merchants were selling, and it was necessary to walk back to the market upon completion of the tour. Although the dialog and descriptions of things is somewhat "scripted," all of the guides should have the same information to share first, and then any embellishments and humor that they add is welcome. My criticism is merely constructive, since I enjoyed the tour and the company. Thanks for a nice day with my adult children who also enjoyed the "birthday gift tour." |

| This tour was absolutely fantastic. My Mom and I have gone on the tour in Greenwich and now the Chelsea Markets tour and each was interesting, educational and the food was very good. We loved it and can't wait to take the remaining tours offered. I have also told my college age daughter and her friends to take the tour and they have enjoyed it as well. The tours give an insider's glimpse to the areas explored, a great understanding of the foods offered in the area and all at very reasonable prices. Our last tour guide, Curt Upton, gave a fantastic tour full of stories of the area presented in a very humorous and engaging manner. |

| I am from Brooklyn and have never been to the Chelsea Market so when a foodie friend of my was in town I thought that it would be fun. It exceeded my expectations! Great tastings and an attentive and knowledgable tour guide. |

| Wow, I was completely surprised about how much fun I had during the tour. Darryl, our guide was engaging, informative, and down right funny. At no point did the tour seem like it dragged. It was a great day spent walking around the Market and Neighborhood. Our group was the first to do a tasting at Marcelleria, and it was amazing. Great food choices, fun information, and just a nice all around day. Oh, and by the way, I'm a New Yorker that spends lots of time in that area at night, so it was wonderful to see it in the daylight. |

| We would all like to say how much we enjoyed this tour. We had already been on the Greenwich Village tour and thought that was great. This was even better. Our tour guide, Bob, made this tour outstanding.
Bob was interesting and informative.
We highly recommend him and this tour |

| I enjoyed the tour as it was a right combination of food tastings and a history lesson of the meatpacking district. Tour guide was very knowledgeable which was very appreciated. |

| Our guide Bob, a retired law librarian, brought the history of Chelsea to life guiding us on a fun and delicious tour. Also, with most of the tour indoors, it's perfect for a cold or rainy day. |
