| You can walk through Chelsea Market Place and miss some of the MOST important points of interest if you are not on this "somewhat exclusive" tour. Samplings of food and beverages are delightful as is the historical information offered forth by a guide who is energetic and entertaining, as well as informative and intelligent. The meat packing district has quite a bit of history that one would most likely not be privy to if not on this tour. One of the best offerings in the city. We also loved and highly recommend the Greenwich Village food and historical tour. |

| While I am a native New Yorker, there was much learned after having taken this tour. I think a lot has to do with the luck you have with your particular guide. Mine was very pleasant and definitely had more than just a working knowledge of the environment. I thought that the places we were taken were representative of the area and the many changes that seem to be taking place there. I enjoyed the different samples of food and could definitely see myself becoming a patron of some of those establishments. I also liked the walk outside where the guide pointed out some of the pricey stores that are coming into the area. I think this tour is a worthwhile experience for either a native or a tourist. Relating the information about the High Lline to the special section in the Sunday New York Times was a thoughtful touch.

| I enjoyed the tour overall, but I preferred the Greenwich Village tour. I thought that there was some interesting facts and information as well as nice food tastings on this tour, but feel that the Village tour had more to offer in terms of food value and neighborhood facts. Good tour to do in inclement weather because most of the time is spent indoors at the Chelsea market. |

Different from, but just as great as, Greenwich!

| We enjoyed this tour as much as the Greenwich Village tour we took in March 2005. Very different, very fun and informative.

| I thought the tour was interesting, including the historical perspective of the Market and Meatpacking district. I was expecting to try a bit more food and I thought that there wasn't much food (I wasn't quite full at the end of the tour- and I don't need a lot of food), especially for the cost of the tour. Also, our guide was very strict about not buying while on the tour, which I understand to a certain extent. But, especially if people are still hungry, I think this rule can be a bit more flexible. I also think a wonderful addition to the tour would be a quick tour of the Food Network. |

| Let me start by saying that I love everything about NYC and have come back often--for the last 52 years.
I try to take at least one walking tour each time I visit... I feel it is the best way to really get to know & feel the particular area.
This Chelsea/Meatpacking Tour was wonderful. Our tour guide was great--he was enthusiastic, knowledgable, helpful, and fun.
I have already suggested this tour to my New York friends.

| This was an excellent tour. Two of us went and thoroughly enjoyed the food and information provided by the guide concerning the market history and local neighborhood. We would definitely join a similar tour of another NYC neighborhood. |

| I highly recommend it to anybody who wants to know something about Chelsea and the Meatpacking District. Curt, our guide was excellent. He has a extremely good knowledge of the area and of New York City. He made the tour a real highlight of our vacation. Thank you very much!! |
