| I was thrilled to find space for the Chelsea Market tour during my recent trip to NYC. I went with another friend from Atlanta along with our 13-year old daughters. They were not as taken by the tour as we were until there was a celeb citing (Lindsey Lohan), then another, almost (Beyonce). The Chelsea Market was full of great places and the food was more than generous. It was a great value for $40 and a deal for the teenagers at $20. It was fun to go behind the scenes in the market and also into some of the most incredible restaurants in the Meatpacking District. Our guide, Kurt, was full of energy and information. I would highly recommend this tour and hope to go on another on my next trip! E. Currie, Atlanta, GA |

| We thoroughly enjoyed the Meatpacking District Tour. The tour guide was both knowledgeable and funny and the food was delicious! We learned a lot and we can't wait to return to NYC so we can take the Greenwich Village Tour. Thanks! |

| I hate tours, but love food and was planning on going to the market anyway. Since the price was right, I booked it and am so very glad I did! It was a wonderful blend of food and history. Curt was phenomenal. Enthusiastic and passionate, he really made the tour. My friend who had also booked could not make it (flight delays), so he gave me some extra treats to take home for her. Way above and beyond what was required. I even made a reservation at a great restaurant based on Curt's recommendation and my friend was so impressed since she'd been trying to get in there forever! I followed all of Curt's recommendations on the courses and it was one of the best meals I've ever had. He did not steer us wrong! I'm looking forward to taking other tours by the same operator and taking all my friends on this one. I feel like I could take this tour more than once and learn something new each and every time. |

| Curt was our tour guide and he was wonderful. He was very knowledgable about the history and area surrounding the market. He made it a point to remember all our names and added a bit of humor to the tour….I would highly recommend him as the tour guide to as for to my friends |

| This is the 2nd tour I've taken from the Foods of NY Group. It was excellent and Kirk our tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Since we visit NYC annually I will look forward to the SoHo tour next year and hope you'll add new tours in the years to come because I really feel that this is the most delicious way to learn more about the wonderful city of New York.
Thanks for a wonderful experience! |

| This tour was amazing!! Our tour guide Kurt was so enthusiastic and entertaining, he really made the tour so much fun.The Chelsea Market and other places we went to were wonderful, and the food was unbelievable! We were exposed to places that we probably never would have found on our own. We actually ended up going to one of the places for dinner the next night, and it was the best dinner we have ever had! When we come back to NY next year we are going to the Greenwich Village tour. I highly recommend this tour to anyone going to NY. |

| Eleven ladies and gentlemen, many of us very old friends who have travelled extensively together , met on a rather overcast and chilly winter day to visit the Chelsea Market. One couple had previously been on the tour, but agreed to do it again. Three of us are New Yorkers who simply love to learn as much as we can about the city of our birth. The rest Jerseyites who, although not always willing to admit it, love New York almost as much. To say we were pleased is just not enough. Each little tasting was excellent and soon we were saying we could not eat another crumb. Still there was more to eat and to learn and we just kept going. Now about Kurt, our tour guide. He was fun and funny, kept us totally amused and engaged. He made sure we were always comfortable and genuinely seemed interested in our reaction to the food, the building and all the wonderful little pieces of trivia about the Market in general. He was completely familiar with the area and answered all questions. In short, the Chelsea Market and Kurt turned our gray day into a great one. Thanks. Diane Ketchell
P.S. Most of us have taken the Village tour as well. We will be happy to recommend these tours. |
