| What a great find. We came to NYC with an open itinerary and saw the brochure for the Chelsea/MeatPacking tour in our hotel lobby. Gave it a shot and are glad we did. Our leader was entertaining, knowledgeable and gave honest appraisals of hotels, restaurants, etc. in the area. Really appreciated hearing the inside scoop from a real New Yorker of the history of the area. The food tasting were carefully selected and most were delicious. Came away full in both mind and body. |

| Cindy was the reason this tour was so good. She talked about what is happening now around Chelsea Market area and the places we were seeing in addition to talking about the history of the area. She was great! |

| I took the Greenwich tour a few years back and really enjoyed it, so I figured I'd try this one. It was fantastic! The guide was knowlegeable and entertaining. THe chosen vendors were very good, the area was perfect. I thought the tour was definitely worth the ticket price- food servings were generous- I like the Lobster bisque!
Thank you! |

| My husband and I really enjoyed the history and the food! Our tour guide was informative and a lot of fun. She was knowledgeable about many other areas as well. It was one of the best things we have done in the city in years. |

| 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 my second tour with the same company. I enjoyed it the first time so much that I decided to take my husband and another couple on the tour.
The guide we had was even better than the first one. I think his name was Kirk (?) and he provided so much information, pictures and fun! We all found the history of the market so interesting and, of course, enjoyed the tastings provided. We went back and purchased some items from the various stores and had a snack at one of the restaurants he took us into.
To sum up - a wonderful experience. I now plan on taking the same group to the Greenwich Village Tour. |

| The four in my group all really enjoyed the adventure. Our guide, Chad was very informative of the area as well as the places we stopped to have a sample. We enjoyed the tour so much that when I return in July with family, we are going to tour the Greenwich Village site. Can't wait.
Thanks for a great tour Chad.
