| If you are a foodie, this tour is for you! The guide was knowledgeable about the area, the vendors, the architecture and the food. It was a fun way to see a part of the city and to enjoy great food. I had no idea we would be trying so much food, there is a lot to eat. I will recommend this tour to friends and family and I plan on taking the tour again sometime. Thank you for a wonderful experience! |

| You learn the history, interact with people from the area, and try amazing food. Our tour guide (Kurt/Kirk?) was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and just fun to be around. We definitely plan to do another tour on our next visit. |

| Our tour was part of a Father/ Daughter adventure on a 4 day trip to NYC. Luckily, someone told us about this tour and we decided, at the last minute, to do it. What a treat. Kurt, our tour guide, was knowledgeable, hospitable, humorous and a true "host". This interesting "tasting tour" com, combined with the historical perspective of the facility and surrounding neighborhood was just wonderful. Upon returning to our home town, we agreed that we will take another tour on our next trip to NYC. PS my daughter is 13 and she really enjoyed and appreciated the tour...there was another 13 year old on the tour as well. Great couples, family or individual event. Well done Kurt...you made our trip! |

| My husband found this tour online and booked it for me, him and our 3 year old. It was fantastic! Our tour guide was awesome. The group was just the right size. We got a chance to walk around the Chelsea market and sample some of the wonderful food there. Than we had a guided tour of the meatpacking district, including an exciting history lesson and a stop for a bite to eat at a neighborhood restaurant. We will definitely be back in that area when we visit NYC again. I have already recommended the tour to my relatives that live in Jersey! Except for a few inaccessible spots with a stroller, the tour was even enjoyable with a toddler!
I would definitely recommend this tour and I will probably go on another tour offerred by this group in the future! |

| If you can only afford one tour, I would recommend the Greenwich over this tour. I would have preferred more outside activities. |

| This was my 2nd food tour and I found it totally different than the first one I took, the original Greenwich Village Tour, and just as FANTASTIC. The tour is so interesting, filled with amazing history of the area. The food was so DELICIOUS. Our tour guide Daryl, was EXCELLENT, with such knowledge of the area, and a wonderful personality, too. I've lived in NJ and NY forever and have learned so much about the NY area, which I couldn't wait to share with friends. This is a wonderful way to spend the day, with the cost of the tour well worth it!! |

| My sister and I are from Canada. Neither of us had been to the Chelsea Market area before.
Darrell was an amazing tour guide! Full of history and knowledge of the Market and surrounding area! A well rounded tour not just about food! Really liked getting out into the neighbourhood as well.
Keep up the great work! |

| I was a single person that ended up in a group that was approximately 18 people - 14 of which were a bachelorette party. I would have preferred if the bachelorette party had been its own tour and could have enjoyed themselves independently so that those of us that were foodies could have gotten a bit more out of it. The tour guide did the absolute best he could, but the bachelorette party was a bit hard to contain and most of them weren't all that interested in the "foodie" aspect of the tour. The quanity and quality of food was more than adequate for lunch and very tasty. The guide was very knowledgeable and I liked the fact that he took us into a couple of the local restaurants in the area and he described the history and meals from these spots. |
