| You can walk through Chelsea Market Place and miss some of the MOST important points of interest if you are not on this "somewhat exclusive" tour. Samplings of food and beverages are delightful as is the historical information offered forth by a guide who is energetic and entertaining, as well as informative and intelligent. The meat packing district has quite a bit of history that one would most likely not be privy to if not on this tour. One of the best offerings in the city. We also loved and highly recommend the Greenwich Village food and historical tour. |

| While I am a native New Yorker, there was much learned after having taken this tour. I think a lot has to do with the luck you have with your particular guide. Mine was very pleasant and definitely had more than just a working knowledge of the environment. I thought that the places we were taken were representative of the area and the many changes that seem to be taking place there. I enjoyed the different samples of food and could definitely see myself becoming a patron of some of those establishments. I also liked the walk outside where the guide pointed out some of the pricey stores that are coming into the area. I think this tour is a worthwhile experience for either a native or a tourist. Relating the information about the High Lline to the special section in the Sunday New York Times was a thoughtful touch.

| This was a great way to learn more about what's in your own backyard! Kurt, our guide, was friendly, upbeat, and very knowledgable. A great way to spend a few hours on the weekend exploring the neighbourhoods and restaurants. I will recommend it to others and will take a tour of other NYC neighbourhoods based on this experience - and I work in NYC every day! |

| Our guide Curt was very good. The tour was most interesting and he took the time to engage all in the group. Seems like a New Yorker who loves the area. Good vocab! |

| The tour was far better than I had imagined. The food was great. The Chelsea Market is a real treasure! The meat packing district was fasinating. I can't recommend the tour highly enough. Our guide Curt was extremely knowledgable and entertaining. He was an absolute riot. Give this guy a raise!!! I strongly recommend this tour to anyone interested in food and having a great time. |

| I went on the Greenwhich Village last month and had a great time and brought my mom and sister back for this one! We loved it! Loved the cool history of the building and the different taste testings. Curt was super funny and did a fantastic job at entertaining us. |

| Fun and enjoyable tour, especially for "foodies". My wife and I have been to NY quite a few times, but we learned many new facts about the Meatpacking District. Tour guide Curt was informative, organized and well prepared. I would unhesitatingly recommend this tour to anyone. I speak as a professional, because I am in the tour business in Los Angeles.
