| This tour was really a lot of fun and very informative. The food was amazing and really was enough for lunch plus. Our guide was very entertaining (I think his name was Daryl??) and did a great job keeping our interest. I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in the history of the area and anyone who enjoys good food. Chelsea Market had many great shops and I would go back just to browse the market itself. I would also go on other tours offered by this group based upon my enjoyment of this tour. Definitely wear comfortable shoes!! I'd love to go on one of upper Manhatten!! |

| What made this tour so wonderful & enjoyable was our tour guide, Kurt, hands-down. He was super knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We live in NYC and have been through Chelsea Market bunches of times, but it was SUCH a treat to experience it this way "behind the scenes" with such a pro/insider. Highly recommend it! |

| My husband & I ( from Australia) love good food. We were taken to numerous food outlets in this area, covering seafood, Italian, cheeses, breads, sweets & icecream and more. Tastings were generous & of very high quality. Our guide was well informed of the area's history as well as the current make up of retail outlets & restaurants. The 3 hour tour was great value, entertaining & passed too quickly. |

| My husband and I own a time share in NYC, and we come once a year to the city. We try to plan one walking tour per visit. The Chelsea/ meatpacking area has interested me, so we booked this tour on line.Our tour group included a group of nine retired teachers, and we were right at home with them, since we are educators ourselves. Kurt was fabulous, and we enjoyed the narration of the history of the area. The food was authentic, and the weather was perfect.
Next time we will definitely do the Greenwich Village tour. |

| We toured with Darryl on Friday, Aug 3. This was a lot of fun and informative. Darryl did a great job. I took my 12 year old son, who is a "foodie" and food network fan. We also learned about the gentrification of the meatpacking district and about the high line railroad. I can't get my kids to agree to go to museums, so this was a great alternative!!!
During the tour, we were able to go inside the Del Posto restaurant and secure dinner reservations for saturday nite. We took my husband there for his birthday last nite and it was a wonderful experience!!!!
We may sign up for the village tour next!!!
Thank you. |

| I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the above tour and I have told many of my friends and co-workers that they must take one of your tours when they come to New York..
I enjoyed learning about the area, tasting some of the great food offerings, gettting acquainted with this area of New York and being guided and entertained by Kurt. The next time I return to New York I would arrange to take another of your tours (and even the same one again) and I would ask for Kurt ! ( I am not sure about the spelling of his name but he was from Vancouver and was just great ).
Thank you for putting together such an enjoyable tour. I included so many activities during my stay in the city but this was definitely a highlight! |
