| Enthusiastic tour guide provided us with great information and entertaining tour of the area. My friend and I have been visiting NYC area frequently of late and found this tour more helpful than reading about and touring areas on our own. The tour showed us many things in the Chelsea Market we would likely not have discovered otherwise. The tastings were great as well. We will now be sure to visit the area again as well as take similar tours in other areas. |

| We really enjoyed our tour of Chelsea Market and the Meatpacking area as we had never been before. Our tour guide, a Canadian who's a comedian with reddish hair....wish I could remember his name... was awesome! He was very informed and funny as well. We loved the extra touches he threw in like the tour of the brownstone and then the penthouse view from a local hotel just off 14th Avenue. I would definitely go back to this area to explore more. Loved it! The only thing that would have made this over the top would have been to have some glimmer inside the food network studios. The behind the scenes things are really interesting and sometimes thrilling for us, the viewer and supporter! Or a surprise visit with Mario Batali or Emeril would really set this apart from the rest and probably make it impossible to get tickets for! After the tour we went back to some of our favorite places, loved the tea house...the berry mix is awesome! We also went back to the lobster market and purchased steamed lobsters for us to dine on back at our rented apartment. It was just a great day and we would definitely seek out more tours like this.

| We didn't have any expectations for this tour as it was something completely different than that of other tours we have taken. Our leader was extremely knowledgeable, but more importantly, had the personality, energy and enthusiasm that made the tour so enjoyable. He definitely enhanced the experience. The tastings were appropriately timed and sized.
We'll be signing up for the other tours offered soon. |

| It was very helpful to have a guide provide a focus on the sprawling
Chelsea market and we appreciated the background information on both the market and the meatpacking district. |

| The tour was great! Our guide Kurt was one of the best guides I have ever been with. His personality and knowledge were second to none. The food is great and the market is a must!! I was hoping to see more of the meat paking side of things, however; there is none of that in the tour as you just tour the district and not an actually meat paking plant. This is the only reason why I give it 4 stars and not 5. |

| Going on the Chelsea Market Tour was a real treat. I completely enjoyed the history, the tour guide and the array of places we visited. I would have to say due to this tour when I visit New York again, I will look to stay in this area rather than Manhattan. The Food Network had a Wine and Food Tasting Festival during this weekend so it was an additional treat! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the New York area. |

| TODD DID IT ONCE AGAIN. ALTHOUGH, I WAS UNABLE TO ATTEND THIS
TOUR I KNEW MY FRIENDS WERE IN SAFE AND KNOWLEDGE HANDS. I HAD PREVIOUSLY ATTENDED THIS TOUR AND THATS WHY I FELT MY FRIENDS WOULD ENJOY IT. I WAS RIGHT. THEY CAME BACK INFORMED AND ENTHUSIATIC
ABOUT THE CHELSEA AREA. SO MUCH THAT THAT NIGHT THEY HAD ME GO
TO HOGS AND HEIFERS THAT EVENING. I REALLY APPREICIATE FOODS OF NEW YORK AND WILL RECOMMEND THEM TO ANY OF MY FRIENDS OR FAMILY IF IN NEW YORK. THEY HAVE A GREAT PRICE AND ARE VERY ENTERTAINING.
THANKS FOR MAKING OUR TRIP THE BEST.

| Our tour of the Chelsea Market and meat packing are was well worth the 3 hrs! We ate from beginning to end...cookie (WOW!), milk, seafood soup (YUM!), fresh Italian foods (AWESOME!), red tea, imported cheese, etc. We enjoyed the group we were with and our tour guide did everything he could to make our tour the best! Very informative and interesting. Afterwards we walked along the Hudson River on the way back to our hotel on 54th St...great day would recommend to anyone who loves food! Wear comfortable shoes!! |
