| My friend and I did the Greenwich Village walking tour in June 2008. We were pleasantly surprised and told all of our friends how wonderful it was and insisted they do the tour. We decided to try the Chelsea Market tour and convinced several friends to go. All of the tasting was done in the market which we had already explored while waiting. It was just very disappointing compared to the Greenwich Village tour. We expected more walking outside. I also was not nearly as full and felt it was not worth 44.00 |

| A group of four friends decided to try one of your food tours. We frequent the city and several of us have lived there a number of years. We thought it might be a fun change from our normal event choices to try the tour. This particular tour of Chelsea/MP district was great. The area has changed so much (for the better)...We most have to compliment our tour guide. She was very informative and shared great/fun tid-bits that had we not gone on the tour but on our own, we would never have had the information and history she was able to provide. Not only would I recommend this particular tour but ask for Diana as a guide again.
Happy Holiday! |

| This was one of the top 5 days of my life. Curt, our guide, was phenomenal. His depth of knowledge and his humor made the experience so enjoyable, that I hated to see it end. He added so many personal touches to the day! Chelsea Market was beyond all my expectations. My only disappointment was not getting to view any of the Food Network Studios but all in all, I would do this tour again any time! |

| We went into this having as little experience with it as possible. I had found the website and read the testimonials and it completely lived up to all the rave reviews. My sister-in-law could not make it at the last minute and Diane was nice enough to provide me with a little "take-home bag" of treats from all of our stops. She was so informative and the tour was extremely interesting and fun. She really knew her material. We would definitely recommend this tour. |

| 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! |

| I took the tour slightly reluctantly. Although I love to eat, I am neither a cook nor am I particularly interested in cooking or food preparation. In fact, I watch food network only when my daughter happens to have it on TV as I walk by. Needless to say, I was not expecting to really enjoy the tour (I went reluctantly with my wife and friends). I had a great time, The guide was exceptional (and although he learned my name in less than three minutes, embarrassingly, I cannot recall his). The entire idea was creative and totally a different touristic activity, It was very interactive and provided a fascinating insight. I have enthusiastically recmmended to several friends that will be traveling to NYC soon, and I'm looking forward to my next visit there, so I can take one of your other tours. Congratulations on a spectacular idea and outstanding execution of it in a most creative entertaining mnner! |

| The only thing that we thought might improve the tour is the order in which the foods are presented. We felt it would be better to start withthe Fish and Italian place and finish with the cookies, milk and ice cream. I don't know if it is structured the way it is because of the location of the places in the building or what, be we both felt this would make the tour even better!!! |

| A fabulous afternoon of fun and good food! Our tour guide, Curt, was informative and had great background info on the various stops. He gives a great tour! This was my second food tour--I had already done the Greenwich tour --and I was just as pleased with the Chelsea tour. AND THE FOOD! It's wonderful! But there are also the special treats --like fancy Japanese toilets where you can be rinsed and dried at the touch of a button. You will not be disappointed! This is an absolute must for folks who want to do something out of the ordinary while in New York. |
