| My family and I wanted to do something different that everyone from all ages could participate, so when I read about this I signed us up, being as we love to eat. I have to say the first response from my family was not accepting of what I had expained what we would to be doing, but midway through the tour I was getting hugs and thank yous from everyone. They all enjoyed themselves so much that we plan to do it again in the summer time.
I highly recommend this tour. It was a experience that I will be talking about for a while. |

| Our tour was scheduled for Friday, 13 Nov. We are from the Jersey Shore and a Nor'easter hit our area for 48 hours starting on Thurs evening. We had no electricity and therefore, unable to shower or dress to go into the city and take the tour. We wasted $92.00; we understand there are no refunds. My husband and I are very, very disappointed that we could not attend. |

| This was a delightful tour. My tour enjoyed learning about the history of the building and this entire area of NYC which we had never visited before on previous visits. The tasting part of the tour was delightful as well. The "famous" bisquits that we tasted at Sarabeth's were the only part of the tour that was disappointing. We're from the South, and we know our bisquits. These were NOT good bisquits. The lobster bisque from The Lobster Place was outstanding, however, and our tour guide, Darrell, was worth the price of the tour. |

| We absolutely loved the tour. We are all from the city, but our tour let us in on some local secrets that will absolutely become part of our food routine! We learned so much about the area, and the food was all the more special after knowing it's history! |

| Right from the start it was great. Diana was very informative, funny and led the tour with great ease. With each stop we got an informative history of the market; the building of it, the vendors, etc.
Tour was alot of fun, we sampled cookies, pasta, soups, gelato, but what was especially nice - we sampled foods we might not have ever tried.
DIANA WAS A GREAT TOUR GUIDE - WE WILL DEFINITELY TRY ANOTHER |

| I was visiting NY with a friend of mine, we try to go for a weekend every couple years. Chelsea is one area we had not yet discovered. Our guide, Bob, was fabulous. I learned so much from him and he was very good at keeping the whole group together. Great idea and a little known fact about NY. More advertising is needed!
The food tastings were also fantastic. The food was sufficient that we didn't need lunch that day.
I felt we spent too much time inside Chelsea Market, mainly because it was such a beautiful day outside and we wanted to be out in it. The walk thru the Highline was a great idea. |

Excellent Tour, maybe a little too long.

| Great tour, I brought a group of 12 people with me, this was a tour
group, doing shows, shopping, and touring. Felt the tour was a bit
too long, 2 hours would have been enough, I had clients in my group
65 and over and it might have been a little too much standing and
walking for them. 2 hours probably would have been better.
Overall it was absolutely excellent, great guide, very knowlegable,
and very attentive to the group. Well book again for my groups
coming to New York. |

| The Chelsea Market tour is the perfect tour for foodies who don't like to "do tours".
Our guide Diana was marvelous. She was animated, knowledgeable and most noticably PROUD of her city - specifically this area. It is a fast paced 3 hrs that you won't soon forget. My friends keep bringing up their favorite moments of this trip and want to know when we can do another.
The food is the ultimate icing on the cake but the history dump is equally interesting. So much info that you could never find for yourself. I had been to the market several times before but I have a huge new respect for its history.
One friend and I did the original tour last year and were so impressed that we planned another visit to take a different tour. I invited 3 more friends to join us and ALL of us want to do another tour. We are planning Chinatown next. When we finish all 4 tours, I'm sure we could start all over again because it's just so much fun.
People interested in this tour must know that you need to be able to stand/walk quickly for the full 3 hrs. It's well worth staying in shape to get to do this event. |

| Diana was our tour guide. She was fun and informative. The food tastings were remarkable! Go hungry and you will not leave hungry! The tasting portions were very generous. The history of the market and meat packing area was interesting. I would definitely return to the area. This was my third tour with this company. Each tour included excellent guides and was well worth the price. |
