| The tour was very informative and yummy. Curt has unbelievable name recognition. Loved the Lobster Bisque. Nine year old daughter a little bored since there were no toy stores on the tour. We could have skipped the tea store and spent more time in the basket market. |

| The tour was better than anticipated and I would definitely recommend it to visitors. The value for what we received was very good and the food was great! Our tour director was very good, keeping us on schedule and yet providing great information about the area and the restaurants. He was also good about remembering our names and making the tour seem more like he was taking a group of his friends on a walk around his neighborhood. |

Highly recommended!!!

| Although tour should have started on time regardless of late-comers, it was a very enjoyable and informative tour. Cindy, our tour guide, may be the reason for the success of this tour. She's very knowledgeable and passionate about the city and shares updated and informative information. Loved the pictures of the past that she provided. Showed/discussed past, present and future which both my husband and I enjoyed. My two recommendations for this tour is to (1) include more hot and/or savoury tastings and (2) to at least touch on all the other places in chelsea market as we only discussed/visited half? For example, was curious about the coffee place that makes phenomenal coffee and have great reviews? In any case, really enjoyed and highly recommended!!! Thank you! |

| Great fun- enjoyed Cindy a lot. Warm and friendly and very knowledgeable. Great sense of humor too. I'm on a special diet and you took such good care of me. I didn't feel deprived one iota! Went for my husband's birthday with my grown up son. We all enjoyed and look forward to the next tour.

| This tour is both an introduction to the history and future of the meat packing district, and an introduction to products from several merchants inside the Chelsea market. Because the products offered by these merchants are so outstanding, its far more than "getting you into the store". Without the tour, we would have had no idea where to start and we would not, on our own, have been able to replicate the experience. |

| I guess I was expecting more walking on this walking tour, especially on such a nice summer day. But it was almost all inside the Chelsea market. Food was excellent, though. Our tour guide seemed a little too focused on local celebrities and episodes of Sex and the City, which didn't interest me particularly. |

| Our guide explained the history of the building, the concept of the new market place and a bit about how each business started.
The variety of food businesses was good, the food samples were sized properly.
Our guide showed us the progress being made developing the meat packing district and ended at the roof top of a hotel in the district that showed us the area.
Strongly recommend this as part of a visit to New York City. |
