| It was truly the most exciting and different tour in NY in the long time. The guide (Kirk) who was a comedian and a waiter before this job did an amazing job: knowledgable, funny, witty, fast, personal, enthusiastic and intellegent.
The history of Chelsea and the development of the area is quite educational.
The stores and the products in Chelsea Market are of the highest quality and calibre.
We would like to visit the place again along with some of the local restaurants.
Thank you very much for a job well done!

| I learned alot about the area that I did not know. The guide showed us things that you did not see if you were to just walk thru. The history of some of the pieces in the market was very interesting to learn about. The food was incrediable. |

| Our guide was hilarious and informative, the time flew by, the food sampling was great. Don't eat much before you go, everyone was saying they were too full to try everything (but it was so delicious we all managed!). |

| This was the 2nd tour I did (first was Greenwich Village alone), and I was doubtful that this one could be as good as the first - but it was!!!! Everyone in our group enjoyed it very much - two New Yorkers and two Midwesterners. Curt was an excellent tour guide. He was entertaining and extremely informative. The time just flew by. Great variety in foods made it an interesting culinary experience, but Curt's well-informed personalized humorous and dynamic approach is what makes Foods of New York Tours a great experience. It's a bargain at $40 bucks and I would recommend this to anyone and everyone! I can't wait to return and try a different tour. |

| We had a wonderful tour with Curt. He was the perfect tour guide, smart, funny and knowledgeable about the subject. Just 15 minutes into the tour my friends were all saying how this was the perfect fun thing to do in NYC. The food was delicious and just the right amount for snacking and snacking! |

| This is one of the best tours I've been on. Chelsea market has a fascinating history that is captured in the tour. Great tastings, an amazing building, and the tour guide points out all the unique architectural details of the space. This also includes history and background of the individual tenants in the space. This tour also provides the opportunity to hear about the high quality restaurants that have moved into the neighborhood.
The meat-packing industry is equally interesting. It is becoming the home to such designers as Stella McCartney and Diane von Furstenburg to name a few. Great old streets and more restaurant tips.
The pace was easy and the amount and variety of food just fine (This from a foodie). I'll definitely take friends down here and show them around. |

| I attended the tour with my 14 year old granddaughter. She and I both were so very pleased with it all. Todd was an excellent tour guide. I had no idea there was so much to enjoy at the market. I am very glad to have experienced it and would definitely do it again. I attended the tour to Greenwich Village last year with another granddaughter and have 4 more to go!!!, so you'll be seeing me again. I plan to recommend both tours to my friends. |

Great experience.

| We really enjoyed seeing a different side of New York. The Chelsea area was very nice to explore with the help of Darryl. He was very knowledgeable and fun. |
