| I received this gift certificate from my daughter and son in law as an anniversary gift. My husband and I had a wonderful time. We enjoyed the different food tastings, and visiting the many different stores in the Chelsea Market. We also had a great time visiting the Meat Packing District as well as the boutique hotel and the two restaurants. Our guide was terrifc and very knowledgeable, and made it a very enjoyable day. We did some shopping after the tour was over and enjoyed coffee and dessert in Amy's Bakery.|
I would definately recommend this tour to my friends. |

| Our female tour guide was enthusiastic and took great care of us, as we sampled a good-sized portion of samplings to taste during our tour. It was nice to also have places to sit down during our tastings; the tour is well-organized. It was great to learn some of history behind the founding of Chelsea Market and the Nabisco Company that once inhabited it and now the vendors who do today.
Although I really enjoyed walking around the market, it would have also been nice to have gone outside of the building and spend maybe an hour or so exploring places in the local neighborhood (like the Red Cat restaurant, if it wasn't too far.) Overall the tour is a pleasant experience. Plus, the final stop on the tour is a short walk go back to the market to eat or shop at or just walk around for second time. |

| We really enjoyed our tour! Our guide Cindy was very funny, keeping an accurate head count, passing out water, and making sure that we were comfortable. She was very knowledgeable about the area and appeared to really enjoy sharing information about her neighborhood. We plan on returning to the Meatpacking district and are considering taking other tours. |

| The tour enlightened us to a part of NYC that we might not have seen otherwise! Our guide, Bob, was very interesting and very knowledgable about the area. We enjoyed learning about the history of the area and especially enjoyed the wonderful tastings! |

| I had a great time! I learned a lot about about the history of the market as well as the surrounding area. The food was awesome, and I liked that we did all the food stops first, then walked around the neighborhood. Our tour guide Bob was very personable, and did a great job. He provided a lot of information, answered everyone's questions, and even went a half hour longer than advertised! A great way to spend an afternoon in New York. |

| I would highly recommend this tour to anyone - well worth the price. The sampling of foods was delicious and the history and sites on the tour were fascinating - Chelsea and the Meatpacking District are now my favorite places in the city. The tour would have not been the same without our guide Curt - he was awesome. So full of knowledge about the area and its history, warm personality and a great sense of humor - just added a whole new level to the tour. We can't wait to take the other tours in the Spring and just hope our guides are as great as Curt! |

| Our guide Kurt was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We really enjoyed his style of describing the history of the area. The food was great and we learned a lot. For two people who grew up in New York and now live elsewhere, we really enjoyed learning about a piece of Manhattan that we had never visited before. We don't recommend u bring babies or fussy toddlers. Wear comfortable shoes and if possible a separate bag to put whatever food u don't want to eat but want to save for later. |

| Took this tour with my adult daughter and daughter - in- law and we all throughly enjoyed ourselves. Our tour guide Daryl was terrific. He gave us a wonderful synopsis of Chelsea Market as well as the Meat Packing District. He was insightul, and humours making for a wonderful time. We are planning on doing the rest of the walking tours offered.

| The time spent on the tour went by very quickly. We had enough time to eat and even spend a few minutes shopping if we wanted to. Our guide was very informative and funny. There was a good mixture of history, food, sightseeing and entertainment. He is a great entertainer. It is money well spent and I would recommend it to everyone. I cant wait to try some of the other tours. |
