| My compliments. Another proof that it comes all down to the tour guide. In our case Bob was just the perfect tour guide providing the perfect mix, of history facts, funny stories and good tastings - all with the right attention to detail.
Thanks, Bob! |

| We had a great time on this tour. Sam, our tour guide, was excellent. He provided so much information about the building, the vendors and the neighborhood. All the food we tried, and we tried a lot, was fantastic. We all can't wait to go back. |

| Our guide, Sam, was excellent. He was very well informed, well spoken, and provided a lot of laughs along the way. Our group of four thoroughly enjoyed the tour, and are planning to do a different one in the Fall. Hopefully, we can request Sam to be our guide. |

| We learned a lot on the tour and were given plenty to eat. Sam was an excellent tour guide and we will try one of the other Zerve tours next time we are in NY. Highly recommend. |

| I have been on all three food tours. This tour covers the smallest area. Two hours and twenty minutes take place in the ten (?) year old market and only the last 40 minutes take place outdoors in a 4-5 block area surrounding the market. I would have prefered to explore the neighborhood and old establishments which have been around for decades like the other two tours do. I still enjoyed the tour. Our guide, Sam. was top-notch. He was personable (he called everyone by their first name), friendly,funny and seemed to enjoy people. There was more than enough to eat and you are hearing this from someone who can eat a lot. Everything tasted great. My favorite was the soup. |

| Following the Greenwich tour we had high expectations for Chelsea MKT / meatpacker and to cut a long story short we were not disapointed. The tour itself was interseting and lively, our guide Sam full of information and stories. We will be recommending the tours to all our friends visiting New York. |

| Have a great time with learning and snacking! Lots of great info on Chelsea market & meatpacking district - very entertaining! Seemed to be more of a focus on the market (and definately where the sampling took place), but this worked great for me. |

| This tour was in line with what we were looking for; a tour of the area where the Food Network is housed as-well-as multiple food stores and specialty shops and bakeries. The guide was energetic, witty and very approachable to all in the group.
This was our second tour while in NYC and our guide, Sam, was excellent about asking whether or not we needed to be escorted back to the origin. The previous tour guide ended the tour and left us basically to our own devices to get back to the origin. Not a big deal for a local but an out-of-towner might feel somewhat uneasy.
Overall - a highly enjoyable way to spend three hours in a teriffic city!

| I had a great time on the tour. Bob was very knowledgeable and cordial. He did a great job! I especially liked The Lobster Place when he pulled the lobster out of the tank to show us, Del Posto and Chef Mormito's place. The grand finale was the view from the top of the last restaurant we visited.
It would have been nice to stop on the FoodNetwork floor and pop our heads in, however I imagine that might take some string pulling.
Overall, I loved this tour! |
