| I attended the tour with a close friend, as daytrippers from the Philly area. As a couple of foodies we were curious to see what the tour and food market had to offer. Having arrived via train, our biggest disappointment was that we didn't have a good way to transport home some of the beautiful produce or baked goods that we saw (and sampled). As the tour began, we were a little nervous that our tour guide might be a little too corny, but he turned out to be pretty clever, fun and informative; an aspiring comedian with a day-job. As two people who have spent time both living and working in NYC, we left with some new fun data about an area of the city that neither of was very familiar with. We are happily discussing what other tour we might want to go on in the future and the need to take our children to Chelsea Market (we've turned them into foodies, too). |

| My husband and I went on this tour the last day of our vacation. We wished we had had more time to try some of the restaurants later. |

| Bob was a great tour guide, knowledgeable, interesting and obviously loved what he was doing. The food selections were great and the history of the meat packing district was fascinating.
We can't wait to come back to New York and take one of the other tours offered. Do you do this in other major cities? San Francisco? Chicago? |

| The Chelsea Market itself is a fascinating place. Our guide, Darrel, was terrific -- interesting, knowledgable and entertaining. Would repeat the tour/ go on another tour in a second. |

| A group of 5 of us (including myself) had a wonderful time. Our guide Darryl was great! He was a pleasure and made the tour a lot of fun.
It was very informative and educational, plus the food samples we had were excellent! My friends and I would love to try out the other food tours as well. I would definitely go back to Chelsea market now to buy food there and just hang out.
It was definitly worth it and a definite must go back! |

| My wife and I attended the tour and enjoyed it immensely. We were amazed a the knowledge of the tour guide and surprised how much food you were given on this tour. We really enjoyed the tour guides stories and were amazed at how quickly he learned everyone's name on the tour. We would definitely recommend this tour to other food enthusiasts. |

| This tour was great. I took my nephew (15) and neice (13) and they also found it interesting and fun. We basically thought we were visiting the food shops and did not expect to hear so much about the history and development of the area.....we found this very interesting. Our tour guide was great and was able to get us into Mario Batali's restaurant, Morimoto's restaurant and a friends brownstone which added even more to the tour. The portions of food were extremely generous and more than accounted for lunch. I would recommend this tour to just about anyone. |

| My girlfriend and I had a wonderful time at Chelsea Market; the tastings were varied and the stories and anecdotes very amusing. I have recommended this tour to friends and family who will be visiting NYC in the near future. Finally, the price is excellent value for what you get; 3 hours of enjoyment, food and insight you wouldn't get if you were to do this on your own. |
