| Enjoyed the tour very much, our tour guy, Ed was wonderful. Because it takes place inside the Chelsea Market, you really get a wide variety and sampling of foods in a short walk. I wish we had scheduled the tour later in the year because for this tour you are indoors most of the tour and do not have to worry so much about the weather. |

| This was a great way to learn about the foods of NYC and gain an appreciation for the history of this district. Our guide was well informed, easy to understand and even humorous at times. Looking forward to returning to Chelsea Market to spend more time to shop.
My recommendation: save the cookie until the end so you don't ruin your appetite for all the other goodies you will eat along the way. |

| Our tour guide was the cream of the crop. His anticdotes made it very personal. The food items we sample were varied, the shops we entered were also different. We felt we got the best of both worlds, the Chelsea Market and the outside wlaking tour.
Our group ages ranged from 20 to 70. We all returned to the shops afterwards and purchased! |

| The food was ok, I was expecting something wonderful from the Italien deli, not just lunch meat. Maybe more sampling of the items that are imported.
The history of the market and the meat packing district was wonderful. Bob was
very knowledgeable, funny and certainly has a passion for his work. We
appreciated him a great deal.

| My wife & I found this tour very entertaining and educational. Although lifelong New Yorkers we were unfamiliar with the Chelsea area and in particular, the Chelsea Market. The tour guide (Bob) was genuinely a nice person and showed a great expertise of the history of the area. The food stops were all excellent and diverse. All and all a great afternoon. |

Very good and informative

| The group I was in ranged in age from myself 29, to 33, 43, 50, 68. Everyone loved it. A little too much standing for my taste, I thought there would be more talking while we were walking. Maybe the group was too large for this and information may have been missed, but we would have been able to shop in some of the stores we saw at the end if so. All in all it was an excellent tour to go on. And having arranged it for my group I received a thumbs up! |

| Our tour of the Chelsea Market and meat packing are was well worth the 3 hrs! We ate from beginning to end...cookie (WOW!), milk, seafood soup (YUM!), fresh Italian foods (AWESOME!), red tea, imported cheese, etc. We enjoyed the group we were with and our tour guide did everything he could to make our tour the best! Very informative and interesting. Afterwards we walked along the Hudson River on the way back to our hotel on 54th St...great day would recommend to anyone who loves food! Wear comfortable shoes!! |

| TODD DID IT ONCE AGAIN. ALTHOUGH, I WAS UNABLE TO ATTEND THIS
TOUR I KNEW MY FRIENDS WERE IN SAFE AND KNOWLEDGE HANDS. I HAD PREVIOUSLY ATTENDED THIS TOUR AND THATS WHY I FELT MY FRIENDS WOULD ENJOY IT. I WAS RIGHT. THEY CAME BACK INFORMED AND ENTHUSIATIC
ABOUT THE CHELSEA AREA. SO MUCH THAT THAT NIGHT THEY HAD ME GO
TO HOGS AND HEIFERS THAT EVENING. I REALLY APPREICIATE FOODS OF NEW YORK AND WILL RECOMMEND THEM TO ANY OF MY FRIENDS OR FAMILY IF IN NEW YORK. THEY HAVE A GREAT PRICE AND ARE VERY ENTERTAINING.
THANKS FOR MAKING OUR TRIP THE BEST.

| Going on the Chelsea Market Tour was a real treat. I completely enjoyed the history, the tour guide and the array of places we visited. I would have to say due to this tour when I visit New York again, I will look to stay in this area rather than Manhattan. The Food Network had a Wine and Food Tasting Festival during this weekend so it was an additional treat! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the New York area. |
