| The Chelsea market food tasting tour is definitely worth the time and money. The food samplings were delicious and delightful. Chelsea market is truly a gem full of rich history.

| Curt was our tour guide and was great. Throughout the entire tour he kept us entertained and happy. We were happier with the Greenwich Village tour last year with Cindy in the sense that the area was more interesting to us than Chelesa. Also we thought we stayed in the market longer than needed, but the food was great and again Curt kept us in sitches. I would recommended this tour but for someone taking their first tour, I would recommend the Village first.

| Our guide Kurt was excellent. He was very knowledgeable about the area and about food. He was enthusiastic and funny. He made the trip. I think we stayed in one place, the chelsea Market a little too long. It would have been nice to sample restaurants outside the market also. It would have been nice to sample some of the wine in the wine store. I felt the trip lasted the right length but there was too much of it in the Chelsea Market itself although it was interesting what they have done with the building. Since they do so much tv there, it would have been nice to have at least a view of the Food Channel. On the whole it gave a great overview of the area. I still think the best part of the whole trip was Kurt. |

| Our leader, Kurt, was well informed, organized, and had a good, spontaneous sense of humor.
The food was plentiful, and for the most part, delicious. i never knew there were so many kinds of salt.
Our walk through the meatpacking district was informative and well presented, especially, the biker's bar.
My friend and I had a wonderful time, and are looking forward to the Greenwich Village tour. |

| Talk about getting your money's worth. My suggestion is to arrive hungry! There are plenty of foods sampled on this tour starting with organic chocolate and coffee milk with chewy and delicious double baked chocolate croissants. That's only the first sample of many more. Our tour guide, Curt, was very entertaining and knowledgeable about the history of the Chelsea Market and Meatpacking area. I loved his sense of humor and stories. He made the tour worthwhile even without food. I'm a big food network fan, so it was fun to see where the network is located even if tours of the network are not given at the moment. A must tour for foodies! |

| Great tour with some interesting tidbits and delicious food. Kurt was a fantastic tour guide and kept the spirits high. I've been on the Greenwich Village tour as well - this one isn't quite as good, but still worthwhile. |

| We loved the tour. Got lots of good information. Todd was very knowledgable and engaging! Really gave us good tips. The food was great. The one thing we really enjoyed was seeing the transition of the area. We had never experienced anything like that. In fact, we had never been to Chelsea, although we go to NY several times a year, just to walk around. We are definitely going back and may joing you on the Greenwich Village tour next time. |
