| We had a wonderful time on this tour and learned quite a bit of history as we experienced the Chelsea Market and the Meatpacking district. Our guide was knowledgeable, charming, and very good at keeping us at a good pace (not too fast, not too slow). The food we tried was quite delicious, and we also enjoyed seeing the other places in the area our guide thought would be interesting to point out. Although it is a food tasting tour, I believe the historical facts our guide provided were the perfect icing on the cake. We actually returned later in the week with a local friend and pointed out all the same interesting things we learned on the tour! And of course, we took the time to do additional shopping and eating at the market! |

| I would go on this tour again only for the food! It was so good. Our tour guide was excellent. We took a few other tours on our trip but this was by far the best! |

| This is a great tour. Our group had Kurt as out tour guide, who was hilarious and knowledgeable, and kept us royally entertained and very well fed. There is such a lot of food - from cheese to milkshakes, gelato to pasta - it was all really high quality and so much fun. I enjoyed the wander outside the market too, seeing the High Line and the designer stores. This is highly recommended. |

| The tour itself was great. I was really (pleasantly) surprised by the amount of great food we got to taste. Alos, I thought all the sites we saw were really interesting and I got some great ideas for restaurants to go to in the neighborhood. The highlight of the tour, though, was definitely the tour guide. Not only was he really knowledgable, he remembered all our names and he was HILARIOUS! We really enjoyed the tour. I honestly can not say enough good things about our tour guide. |

| My friend and I had the best time with our guide, Curt. He went "above and beyond" in providing information, entertainment, personal service, and making it a very unique event. We loved the Greenwich Village tour in 2005, so were thrilled when this was also tops. I'd do it again in a minute, and I do highly recommend it to anyone visiting NYC. Thanks so much! |

| We were a large group and have been on a lot of food tours in New York. This is one of the best! We were very surprised how wonderful the Chelsea Meat Packing District is! Our tour guide Darrel was fun, laid back, and very informative. The food destinations were outstanding and we had enough to eat. I am looking forward to going back with other friends and family members. |
