| My sister and I had a terrific time. The food we tasted was absolutely delicious. I I think that what really made the day was our tour guide Kurt . He made a great time fantastic ! He was very knowledgeble about the area and provided lots of information without sounding scripted. He had lots of enthusiasm and energy and was an absolute riot. You could tell that everyone was having a good time.
I have already told at least 10 friends that this tour was a winner. My sister and I are looking forward to doing both the Greenwich Village Food Tasting tours this summer. It's a great way to get both, a more intimate portrait of the different neighborhoods in the city, and to try out lots of good eats. :D

| After going on the Foods of NY Greenwich Village Tour last Fall and having such a great experience, we knew that we would schedule another tour the next time we visited NYC.
The Chelsea Mkt/Meatpacking District Tour is great for the winter months since 2 of the 3 hours are spent inside the Chelsea Market. Our tour guide, Curt, was knowledgeable, personable, entertaining and gracious --- a perfect combination that was appreciated by everyone in our group. The food tastings were delicious and more than enough to replace a mid-day meal. Alhough no one in our group was a real history buff, we thoroughly enjoyed learning about the history and evolution of the neighborhoods, businesses and buidlings that we visited.
I was a bit skeptical when I first read all of the glowing customer reviews on the Foods on NY website but now here I am, happy to write yet another 5 Star review -- these food tasting tours are one of the best deals in NYC. We've already decided that the next time we can get back to New York, we'll be signing up for the Central Village/SoHo Tour. |

| After taking the Greenwich Village Food Tour last year we weren't sure we could top it, however, the Chelsea Mkt. Tour this year was just as fabulous! We had an amazing
three hours of touring, food tasting, sightseeing, history lessons, etc. and we loved it.
Kurt, our guide, was delightful!! We would recommend the NYC Food Tours to
everyone -- can't wait to try the future SoHo tour on our next visit!! |

| I would highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. As a visitor to NYC, we would have never discovered the Chelsea market on our own! The tour kept us interested for the entire 3 hours and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend this tour as well as the Greenwich Village tour to anyone visiting the city or new to the area.

| My friend and I really enjoyed the Chelsea Market tour. It is not something that we would have done on our own, if we hadn't found it on the internet. I would recommend the tour, because you get to taste things that normally you wouldn't find in a normal setting. |

| This is our second food tour, the first being the food tour of the Village. Both were exceptionally good. We recommend these tours to anyone who will listen. Our guide for the Chelsea tour was terrific. We felt he went out of his way to make the experience the best it could be. We want to go again!! |

| I highly recommend the Chelsea Market tour. Our guide was terrific, and very articulate. The tastings were wonderful and the sights and sounds of the market were fun. I have told friends and family about the tour, and everyone wants to go!
Thanks for a great slice of NYC! |

| We had no idea what to expect from this tour,but had taken the Greenwich VIllage tour last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. This tour was at least as good, and maybe even a little better. All of the tastings were in the Chelsea Market, which is an experience in and of itself- unique design and wonderful granite sculpture everywhere. The portions were more generous than the Greenwich Village tour - you might consider eating a very light breakfast- you will be noshing non-stop for the first part of the tour, which is inside the market. Kurt, our fabulously funny and engaging guide, also took us to a private bed and breakfast and a secret hideaway at the penthouse level of a local hotel. He recommended lots of restaurants and was, all in all, a delight to be with for three hours. Don't miss this tour! |

| Can't say enough nice things about our tour guide Kurt. Not only was he quite knowledgeable about Chelsea Market but just as knowledgeable about the meat packing district and surrounding neighborhoods. We had a blast! Kurt was remarkable in that he remembered everyone's name and was personable to each member of our tour group. Thank goodness for Kurt's great personality and charm, he invited everyone to interact with each other and welcomed everyone's opinion as we ate our way through most of the stops along the way. Chelsea Market is a cool, vibrant hub of New York. I would highly recommend this great tour and don't let the 3 hours fool you...it's over before you know it! Take all your friends when visiting this city. Lorraine Alt-Delray Beach, FL |
