| What a wonderful opportunity to hear the history and savour the tastes of the Chelsea Market. This "hot " area is home to top restaurants and top designers and a has a fun feature in the High Line Park.
Bob Gelber lead our group and was an outstanding guide. He knows the area intimately and knows the merchants personally. He was patient and humourous. This was a highlight of our New York weekend and we would highly recommend the experience. |

| I'm a born and bred New Yorker so I did not expect to learn as much as I did! Our tour guide - Bob - was incredible. Full of interesting and little known facts. And the food was great! What I loved was that I got to try things I may not have otherwise ventured to taste - and I enjoyed everything! Everyone I brought on the tour also really enjoyed it and I know we will all enthusiastically recommend this tour to anyone and everyone looking for something fun and different to do in NY!! |

| We have been to New York a few times and this time looking for something different to do. This was a wonderful activity. It took us to a different area of the city. The tour guide was great. When we come back next year we will do this again. It was exactly as described. Plenty of tasting. |

| Hi,
The Chelsea Mkt / Gourmet Food Tour was fantastic, really. Our tour guide, Kurt, was extremely well prepared, informative, interesting and actually quite funny. He not only lead us on an excellent introduction to the market itself, the proveyors and the nieghborhood, but also pulled the group together in an easy way that added yet another dimension to the overall experience. I have already promoted the tour to several others and will look forward to going on one or another of the other Manhattan area tours.
Cheers, alex |

| I went on the tour with my parents (they're a spritely couple of 75 and 70 years old) and was introduced to yet another exciting facet of New York that makes coming back always a revelation - its food! The pace of the tour was just right - my parents were able to keep up with the walk and we were amply rewarded with a dose of history and a generous spread that included artisanal cookies and pastries, jams and cheeses, seafood, chocolate milk and gelato, pasta, and even a country-style Italian picnic.
There was never a dull moment in this three-hour journey of discovery. The enthusiasm and passion that our guide conveyed to all of us who were there that afternoon, was infectious. Thank you, Diana!
I guess from now on, I'll think twice about defaulting to "fast food" and I will be a little more deliberate about seeking out the little gems that one is sure to find in NY. I can think of no better way than to hit the ground running with this perfect introduction to the Foods of New York!
You will see us again.
With love from the Philippines! |

| I have to admit I was sceptical of a "tour" when my wife suggested it and especially of the "meatpacking district" that I remembered as an area that you didn't even drive thru in the old days and now to do a walking tour was incomprehensible especially when rain was predicted!!! Wow was I wrong.
This was the absolute highlight of our trip (except for seeing "Memphis"!!) The guide was full of personality and just plain fun . We got a great history lesson of the area and the "samples" of the food places was incredible in addition to going thru some fabulous restaurants. Toward the end I was hoping that she would not stop at another food place as I was so full of fabulous foods from all over the country. This is a tour for all ages above 21. We will certainly do this type of tour from your company next time we are in town. Thanks so much for the professionalism and great guidance. |
