| Although one of our group members hesitated at the idea of a "Walking Tour", he enthusiastically participated and found the experience very rewarding. We found that there were many places to sit and rest, while enjoying the tastings from the best markets in town. We were all fascinated by the history of the market, and were thoroughly entertained by our tour guide, Curt. We found him to be very knowlegable of the area, and were very happy to see that he was our guide for the Greenwich Village tour later in the week, which was equally as enjoyable. Our group highly recommends this tour to those who want to find out about the history of these areas, enjoy delicious tastings, and discover new restaurants to return to in the future. |

| The tour was great, informative and fun. The food was good, and our tour guide was entertaining. The time went very quickly. Chelsea Market is a great place to visit. |

| A group of us decided to attend this tour based on the reviews. Not only was it tasty, but very informative. We learned information about the area that we would have never learned anywhere else.
I would definately take another tour by the same company again as it was well organized and a fun/different activity to do in NYC. |

| This was my first food tour and I would highly recommend it. I plan on trying some of the other food tours in the future. Our tour guide was great, he was very friendly and did a great job explaining all the history and details of the tour. All the food tastings that we received were delicious. I also felt the cost of th tour was well worth it. |

| We were in New York with another couple -- all foodies. We absolutely loved this tour. Our tour guide, Samson, was interesting, funny, and attentive. Chelsea Market is such an exciting place with so many great shops. And, the Meatpacking area itself, it interesting, too, as it becomes the new "in" neighborhood. We would actually do the tour again; it was that good. |

| Our guide Bob, a retired law librarian, brought the history of Chelsea to life guiding us on a fun and delicious tour. Also, with most of the tour indoors, it's perfect for a cold or rainy day. |

| Our guide, Kurt, met us right on time at the Chelsea Market--he made a real effort to remember and use all of our first names--and was amazingly successful. He really knew the area and told us many interesting things about it. He was very knowledgeable about all the establishments we visited (and there were quite a few), and made sure we all were enjoying ourselves, learning about the Market and meat packing district, and along the way eating lots of delicious food. When we met, it was raining and he said how lucky we were to have chosen this tour as the Market part was all inside--but he promised that by the time we came to the meat packing part, during which we walked outside, the sun would be shining and it would be a beautiful day--and he was right! We also visited several restaurants in the area which was great because we plan to visit Chelsea when next we're in NYC and now we know some good places to eat. Altogether a delightful day. We can't recommend the tour highly enough. |

| I think my ticket was about 42.00 per person and it was a 3 hour tour, fully. The first half is nothing but eating, all kinds of gourmet wholesale shops! It was great and our guide was amazing. He introduced himself and we did back, then he remembered everyones name and where they were from. The district history was also interesting to me. Hey, check it out! |
