| 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. |

| 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! |

| We have visited NYC many times but have never gone to the Chelsea area. The food tour was a good way to experience that area along with the Meatpacking District. Lots of history there and big revitilization plans. Food tastings along the way were good. Our guide, Daryl, was well informed and funny, too. We have taken another food tour, Greenwich Village, and it was good, too.
I did take another tour this week (with another company) and found their visual aids to be very helpful. The guide had old photos to share with the group that depicted the areas in a historical time frame. |

This tour was fun but not diverse enough

| My family and I took the Chelsea Food tour and had mixed feelings about it. We enjoyed our guide very much and some of the food but here is some feedback.
1. Too much time was spent in the Chelsea Market itself and not enough time out in the Chelsea Neighborhood. There are MANY other restaurants in Chelsea that we could have had tastes in.
2. The tastings had too many sweets and not enough REAL food.
3. The salt tasting was a bit odd, and placed between two sweet tastings
4. We were expecting some interesting architectural and historical information outside of the market as well, like in your Greenich Village Food Tour. We loved seeing the High Line and hearing about the plans for the walkway and we would have liked to see more of the neighborhood, especially some of the OLD brownstones on the side streets and heard about their history.
Thank you for listening and we look forward to taking a third tour with you some time. How about a SOHO Tour or BROOKLYN!!!! |

| We were not disappointed with our Market Tour - it was a unique and enjoyable experience. We visited the market again later in the week to shop for special ingredients for cooking dinner at our west side apartment! How fun for our son and his fiancée.
The added tour of the local B & B was also an interesting encounter.
Thank you, Kurt, for a fun rainy morning that became a sun-shiny day! |

| If you love food and history, you'll love this tour. It was three full hours of tasting, talking and touring one of the most interesting areas of New York City-Chelsea Market and the Meatpacking District. Kurt was our tour guide and from the very first minute all the way through to the very end, he was enthusiastic, funny and so knowledgable about food and the history of the area. We had a blast and would highly recommend this tour to anyone. Money well spent! (The food is delicious too!) |

| We had the best time with Kurt in Chelsea Market Tour. Our Guide was excellent and seemed so comfortable with all the staff in the different places we visited. He was funny, resourceful, and energetic. Our touring group was very diverse but he made everyone feel relaxed. This tour allows you to discover the hidden treasures in the revamped district and make you want to visit there again and again. Thanks Kurt for all your knowledge and enthusiasm, it was a wonderful time. |

| Darell was superb! The only thing missing was a wine tasting at the end. |
