| This tour was great!! We were extremely fortunate to have Kurt as our tour guide. He knew everyone's name and talked personally with each of us, pointing out interesting facts and good food. He was well informed about the neighborhood, the food, and just good at what he did!! We sampled many different foods along the way and also learned the history of the people who prepared the food.
Chelsea Market is a great place to shop for those special kinds of party foods, wonderful Italian delicacies, bakery items, great wine, and about anything you want to have a great time. Be sure and try the lobster bisque at the Fish Market.
I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in the history of the neighborhood, to the foodies, and to those who just want to have a good time.

| I enjoyed everything. One suggestion is to have the BIG delicious cookie closer to the end of the eating. I suggested to Kurt that we should receive a small plastic bag to put the cookie in if we wish to eat it later. |

| We, mother, grown daughter and mother's friend, all loved the Meat Packing District food tour. Our guide, Curt with a "C", was the best guide I have ever had in all the many years of traveling. He was smart, informative, and extremely funny. The food was very good, the information was fascinating, and the walking easy. My only recommendation would be that participants don't eat the whole cookie at the start of the tour, just.eat a bite and save the rest for later, otherwise, you will be too full to enjoy the rest of the food. I enthusiastically recommend this tour to anyone (but not small children) who is ready for a great time....I only hope they get Curt (with a "C") for their guide. Thanks. |

| Took this tour on Sunday morning, with tour guide, Darrell. Had a great time and learned so much about the Nabisco building and the surrounding area. The food tastings were good, especially the lobster chowder and the yummy chocolate milk! Enjoyed the walk around the meatpacking district and the information Darrell provided. Would highly recommend this tour. |

| I discovered that I did another tour with this company - the original greenwich tour. This tour relative to the Greenwich one is not as good. I enjoyed walking around the village & tasting food from different shops. I was hoping we could do a little more of that on this tour. But all of our food tasting was only in the Chelsea Market. So if they could incorporate some of this from the Greenwich tour would be good. Also we hardly saw anything of Chelsea. Having said that, Daryl our guide was fantastic & he provided a lot of information, anecdotes & stories for a lively & enjoyable time. |

| Darrell gave us a wonderful tour. We would have never been exposed to the Chelsea Market area if we hadn't taken this tour. Good food, informative and entertaining.

| Our guide, Kurt, was full of fun, enthusiasm and great information. You could tell that he really enjoyed what he was doing. We tasted a wide variety of good foods, learned a lot about the Chelsea Market & Meatpacking District. and visited some beautiful restaurants. The tour was absolutely FANTASTIC and Kurt was THE BEST!
We went on your Greenwich Village tour last year and thought it was terrific. But this one was even better! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! |
