| The group I was in ranged in age from myself 29, to 33, 43, 50, 68. Everyone loved it. A little too much standing for my taste, I thought there would be more talking while we were walking. Maybe the group was too large for this and information may have been missed, but we would have been able to shop in some of the stores we saw at the end if so. All in all it was an excellent tour to go on. And having arranged it for my group I received a thumbs up! |

| My wife & I found this tour very entertaining and educational. Although lifelong New Yorkers we were unfamiliar with the Chelsea area and in particular, the Chelsea Market. The tour guide (Bob) was genuinely a nice person and showed a great expertise of the history of the area. The food stops were all excellent and diverse. All and all a great afternoon. |

| The food was ok, I was expecting something wonderful from the Italien deli, not just lunch meat. Maybe more sampling of the items that are imported.
The history of the market and the meat packing district was wonderful. Bob was
very knowledgeable, funny and certainly has a passion for his work. We
appreciated him a great deal.

| Our tour guide was the cream of the crop. His anticdotes made it very personal. The food items we sample were varied, the shops we entered were also different. We felt we got the best of both worlds, the Chelsea Market and the outside wlaking tour.
Our group ages ranged from 20 to 70. We all returned to the shops afterwards and purchased! |

| This was a great way to learn about the foods of NYC and gain an appreciation for the history of this district. Our guide was well informed, easy to understand and even humorous at times. Looking forward to returning to Chelsea Market to spend more time to shop.
My recommendation: save the cookie until the end so you don't ruin your appetite for all the other goodies you will eat along the way. |

| Enjoyed the tour very much, our tour guy, Ed was wonderful. Because it takes place inside the Chelsea Market, you really get a wide variety and sampling of foods in a short walk. I wish we had scheduled the tour later in the year because for this tour you are indoors most of the tour and do not have to worry so much about the weather. |
