| I can see people who love to cook will enjoy this tour. It's full of neat stories about famous TV chefs, unique ingredients, the NYC dining scene, and tasty samples. I'm more of a history and architecture buff, so the next time I get to NYC I'll probably try the Greenwich Village tour my wife and son rave about. |

Delightfully entertained

| Our tour guide was amazing, his knowledge and expertise of the New York area and it's history captured all our attentions. More food than we expected was provided for our tastes, so delicious and memorable. I would recommend this tour in a heart beat. Thank you. |

| Good tour and excellent guide. Most of the time was spent in the Chelsea Market, a place I wouldn't have necessarily known about had I not taken the tour. The tastings were tremendous, however, they were a little "dessert heavy." I would have preferred more tastings that offered more choices in food. The best tasting was the salt tasting - I never knew that salt could be so varied. The tour guide's knowledge of the area was top notch - I especially enjoyed getting to know more about the meat packing history and the initiative to save the skyway. This is the best tour if it is raining outside since most of the time is spent inside the Chelsea Market. |

| My husband and I loved everything about the tour: Chelsea Market, the walk in the meatpacking district, the history, the group and especially our knowledgeable, fun-loving guide and the food. We are definitely foodies and the others on our tour seemed as appreciative.
We frequent NYC but had never visited Chelsea Market or that neighborhood so we very much enjoyed getting to know it. We had never seen an entire neighborhood being revitalized to such an extent and found that to be inspiring! |

| This was the first time I had ever taken part in a food and walking tour of Chelsea Market and the Meatpacking District, and I enjoyed it very much. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, and I found my group to be friendly as well.
I loved sampling all of the foods offered. I even went back to the Market to buy a few things once the tour had officially ended. I intend on taking part in the other food/walking tours offered, such as the Greenwich Village tour. |

| I toured Chelsea Market on Saturday, June 3, 2006. The guide was funny, informed and a pleasure to spend time with. He kept us on schedule but also allowed us roaming time. As for the market itself, it's beyond words. I loved every tasting and felt welcomed along the way. I would highly recommend this tour to locals & tourists who love good food. |

| I believe Cindy was our guide. She is a wealth of knowledge - not just about the restaurants we toured and tasted, but also about the area, the people, the architecture and the businesses. I really enjoyed the tour. All the samples more than made up a meal. I did return to do some light shopping and snacking later.
I will recommend it to friends for sure.
Probably the most unique part of the tour was the salt tasting. I never gave it much thought before. I myself would have prefered more chocolate to the salt, but it was still very informative. |
