| 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. |

| It was interesting to learn so much about Chelsea Market/Meatpacking District. Food tasting was absolutely delicious. Great way to start it off with an "everything cookie." I totally recommend this to both locals and tourists! |

| The tour was more than I had expected. Our tour guide, Bob, was very knowledgable and informative sharing the history of the Chelsea Market with us. I thought the tour was well planned and prepared and worth seeing if you are visiting NYC. |

| I live in NJ and my friend is from CT. We go into the city often, but never viisted the Chelsea Market. What a fabulous tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable giving us the history of the area and buildings. She had a great sense of humor. We visited many stores in the market, got to hear a little bit about each one, then sampled some of their wares - yummy. Our favorite was the tiny onions marinated in balsamic vinegar from the Italian market. The tour also took us outside to get a feel for the neighborhood, it's history and future plans. After the tour, we all went back into the market to purchase some of the delights we sampled (I bought two jars of the onions). I recommended this tour to all my friends and coworkers. |

| I bought tickets for my family for my mother's birthday. I think this might be the best present I ever gave her. We had such a great time. The food was amazing, and there was a good variety of food. We did not want the tour to end. There is some much to learn about the area, so much history and so much change. Since this is such a unque part of the city, that made the tour even better. Our tour guide was Cindy and she was a hoot. I look forward to taking another tour with her. |

| We were more than a little disappointed in this tour. Earlier in the week we went on the Original Greenwich Village tour and loved it. This tour was like being taken through a mall. Very small samples (left hungry) and the gelatto sample was being given away free to anyone who stopped into the store - not sure where the $44 per person went as the total food sampled probably cost about $5-7 per person. Would have loved it if there was even 1 restaurant tasting as that might have enticed us to want to come back to the area another time. The other tour booklet had coupons for the local businesses which might have encouraged us to return to the market and purchase items, this one did not. Felt the guide did her job, but the tour itself was not well thought out. 2 hours walking through the market, with the final hour (actually less than that as our tour took under the 3 hours we were told it would) was outside pointing out a points of interest. We were allowed to stop into Morimoto's restaurant, and the "highlight" was that we should go check out the bathrooms. Not sure that's what he would like us to take away from his restaurant. The average person could walk the market, pick up a brochure and learn the same information and poke around the shops at your own pace. Also, as for the local restaurants anyone off the street could step inside and ask to see a menu and see the same things we did today. Overall, we would not recommend this particular tour. |

| This was a great tour, it's absolutely worth it, the food is great at the guide was very entertaining.
Little tip though: don't have a late breakfast before the tour starts, but that's probably common sense now that i think of it.
Too bad we didn't have any more time to try one of the other food tours! Next time... |
