| We had a great tour guide and even though it rained for the outdoor portion of the tour, we still had fun.
The tour of the market is more of tasting then learning how they do things. Still fun and great food. |

Informative and Enjoyable

| This is the second tour we took with your group. The first being the Greenwich Villiage Tour. I loved them both, but the real stand out was our tour guide. I would definitely recommend him for anyone thinking of going on the tour. The Chelsea/Meatpacking District is so rich with history. I'm glad we went on this tour and look forward to another in the future. Thanks. |

| I've actually been on this tour 3 times over a 5 year period with different groups of people (girlfriend, family, couples), and it is always interesting and fun. I've twice had Kurt as my guide, and he does a great job of adapting to the group. I always recommend that anyone visiting the city take one of the Food Tour tours, and everyone is always glad they did. |

| 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. |

| Curt from Canada was our guide and within minutes had remembered everyone's name - there were about 15 of us on the tour. We visited various and delicious eateries in the Chelsea Market sampling a few things here and there. It was all very interesting and great fun and then he showed us a couple of restaurants in the district and even a bed and breakfast place. I did the Village tour last year and thought I wouldnt find this as much fun, but I was wrong. I can very much recommend this as a fun and different thing to do in New York. |

| This was one of our favorite activities in NYC. We loved hearing the history of the area and tasting the great food. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys food and history. |

| 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. |
