| 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!! |

| 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 tour is as good as the guide

| 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.
