| Our guide, Kurt, led us on an educational, sensory-delighting, entertaining insider's view of the Chelsea Market and surrounding area.
We highly recommend the tour! |

| This tour was absolutely fabulous! My family and I were captivated the entire time by both the history of the area as presented by our guide and the food as prepared by the vendors. Being from New York it is so interesting to learn the stories of the neighborhoods of the city that everyone has heard of, but few really know. As an added note, our guide Kurt was hilarious and entertaining every step of the way...he is one of the funniest people on the planet. |

| We now know the ChelseaMarket area pretty darn well..Saw both SaraBeth and the "High Line" on TV the next day!! Our guide conveyed her love for this area, and as true Foodies, we loved seeing the source for the restaurant treats, such as black trumpet mushrooms. The time flew by, and I recommend this to all! |

| I found it a bit boring that the whole tasting was limited to the Market because one gets the feeling that one could do the tour on his own. Also, I found it a bit stressful to eat most of the food while standing (e.g. the croissants and the soup).
However, the guide was very nice and funny. Also the other participants were really nice and the guide managed to bring the group together.
Thanks for three nice hours!

| My husband and I toured Chelsea Market last Saturday and had a great experience. The tour took place primarily on the first floor of Chelsea Market, and then we walked around a bit in the neighborhood (but all the tastings were in CM). Our guide Darryl shared fun and interesting facts, just the right amount to keep us entertained. We never felt rushed and truly got to enjoy this culinary experience. The tastings included: chocolate croissants, spreadable fruit on biscuits, various sea salts, chocolates, seafood bisques, whole grain bread, deli meat, olives, pepperoni, blueberry lemonade, cheese, chocolate milk and coffee flavored milk. I might be leaving something out. If you are a picky eater, this tour is not for you. Though the advertisement said most people don't need to eat after the tour, we were still hungry and grabbed a slice of pizza afterward. All in all, a great way to spend a half day in NYC. |

| This was the first time I had ever taken part in a food and walking tour of Chelsea Market and the Meatpacking District, and I enjoyed it very much. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, and I found my group to be friendly as well.
I loved sampling all of the foods offered. I even went back to the Market to buy a few things once the tour had officially ended. I intend on taking part in the other food/walking tours offered, such as the Greenwich Village tour. |
