| Tour started on time with very enthusiastic guide, who is very into food. He was very knowledgeable about Chelsea Market and Meatpacking District and made it a fun few hours. We had lots of snacks, nibbles and came away not needing lunch. I would definitely recommend this tour. |

| Our tour guide was wonderful, informative, well spoken and knowledgeable. There was more than enough food for the afternoon; lunch is taken care of on this tour. All of the selections were great. My only regret is that we didn't have time to browse or shop during the tour and had to return later on. I will know in the future to allow myself time for shopping. Well worth every penny. |

| Had a wonderful afternoon with Diane. We had a lot of food during the course of the day that the only thing we had for dinner was a little sushi from The Lobster Place before heading back to New Jersey. I would totally recommend it to everyone. |

| I picked this tour for my family weekend get-together after already doing this with friends 3 years ago. I had Darrell both times as tour guide and he was great! We all just loved the tour and will be back for another next year! |

| We took this tour having already done Greenich Village and SoHo in the past but with no idea of the Chelsea Area or the Meat Packing districts. We had an outstanding guide, Daryl. Our group had never been in this area. We loved the history and the tastings. We were very impressed. Dinner that evening became Postos. An additional place our guide brought us. We ordered the tasting dinner. We also returned to the Chelsea Market after the tour and shopped. Who would have believed, this is the future fashion area. The designers are moving in!!!! Highly recommend this tour. |

| This was primarily a foodie event. As long as one is hungry, it was a worthwhile experience. Our particular guide was also very good in bringing up some "exotic" details about locations in the area. I get the impression that the knowledge he shared was based more on his personal interests and his own initiative, rather than informaiton that would be found in a standard tour. I feel very fortunate we had him, since his angle on many of these things was a lot of fun.
We'll try other tours as well, at least for the food. |

| Our guide, Darrell, was very engaged in the tour and seemed like he was really enjoying himself. He also made sure we enjoyed ourselves by providing us with a brief history of the Chelsea Market and helpful culinary commentary and delicious food samplings. My husband and I were able to experience this area of New York in a way that we would not have on our own. I also feel like the price was reasonable, unlike a lot of other things in New York! |

| I read about these tours in a magazine a few years ago and wanted to try one - I am so pleased I did - got lots of food samples and our guide Darrel was fun - he showed us some top class restaurants and the high line and explained lots about the area showed us the nice and seedy side of things - good way to spend a few hours in New York, you can only do so much shopping! - I even think next visit I could persuade my husband to go on one with me - no small task - |

| What a great way to get a sample from virtually place in the Chelsea Market and learn about the history, as well. Other people in the Market were just kind of wandering around deciding where to have lunch. Why decide? My cousin was with me and she has lived in NYC for the last 8 years. She learned a lot on the tour, and saw things that she hadn't before. I'm sure the other tours are just as good. I can't wait to try them. |
