| Having already been on your Greenwich Village Tour, I knew that my friends and I would not be disappointed at the Chelsea Market / Meatpacking District Tour. Our tour guide Curt was so informative and we had so much fun with him. The food samples were so plentiful and also entirely delicious. These tours are a wonderful concept and I can't wait to try another one!!!! |

| Curt was a great guide, very personable and extremely informative. We all Loved the croissants, and lobster bisque, seafood chowder, and Italian sampling. We had a good sampling of other foods as well. Did not leave the tour hungry. We stopped at several spots of interest for touristy sightseeing. Very enjoyable 3 hours! |

| My wife and I really enjoyed the tour. We plan to take some of your other food tours on our next visit to NYC. The tour guide (Kurt) was enthsiastic and very knowledgable.
We have two (constructive we hope) criticisms:
1) We would have appreciated earlier start times. Our tour started at 11:00AM and we had tickets to a broadway show at 2:00. Kurt was very helpful telling us when to leave and where to catch a cab (we made the show on time). But had the tour started at 10:30, or even 10, we would not have had to cut the end of the tour. As many NYC visitors do attend afternoon shows, this would be a plus.
2) The salt tasting, was not of any particular interest to us - you could easilyskip that one. |

| Our guide (Kurt) was unbelievably knowledgeable, witty, and entertaining! He was so enthusiastic, he even made an effort to learn our names. The food was out of this world. |

| We had never been to Chelsea, and loved this introduction to Chelsea Market and the surrounding area. The tasting tour of the Market far exceeded our expectations. Curt absolutely exceeded our expectations as our tour director. His knowledge of the area, his humor, and his attention to detail made this an experience that we would highly recommend to others. The "tastings" were very good in flavors, amounts, and variety. After the tour we went back to the market to buy some of the foods we had sampled (I wish this market was in our area), and to wander through the rest of the shops. As we toured the neighborhood around the market, we developed a list of "must try" restaurants for our next trip to New York. This tour is a great way to get to know one specific area in New York. We look forward to trying new areas, via the tours, during future visits. |

| The Chelsea Market culinary food tour was a blast! Our guide, Kurt, was not only a wealth of information about the area and about food in general, but he was hilarious and entertaining as well! The food tastings along the tour were all so different but equally wonderful! This three-hour tour was truly a highlight of our vacation, and we will definitely sign up for the Greenwich Village tour the next time we're in The Big Apple. Thanks for a lot of fun, Kurt. Good luck on Food TV! |

| I live in Chelsea and shop at Chelsea Market so while it was nice, I two hours in the market was a big too much for me. But I brought my parents, who were in town from Texas and they really enjoyed themselves and I think that's the more important review. |

| I took my mother with me on a tour of Chelsea Market. Our tour guide, Daryl, was really fantastic! We were both very impressed with the history and the food. We thought Daryl was very knowledgeable, helpful, funny, and very genuine. We were happy to have him as our guide.
Our favorite part were the chocolate croissants from the bakery. Everything tasted great. Also, we were able to go on top of a hotel and get a tremendous view of Manhattan.
My mother is from Brooklyn and she was absolutely thrilled to really learn more about New York.
Thanks again to Daryl! |

| Kirk/Kurt was a great guide - very enthusiastic, friendly, and knowledgeable. Enjoyed the history as well as the variety of food especially the salt tasting. The pace was quick but did have opportunity to sit and eat/rest our feet on occassion - the three hours went quickly. Looking forward to dining at a suggested restaurant in the area during our next visit. Thx! |
