| A highlight of our visit to NYC. We have taken the Village tour before and this one was as great as we anticipated this one to be. Interesting cultural and historic facts and the food tastings are fabulous. We recommend these tours to all our friends that are going to be in the city. Next trip we will go on the SoHo tour. |

Well Done!

| We did the Chelsea, Meat Packing District tour on a cold January day. We spent most of our time in Chelsea Market, which was nice due to the weather. We sampled foods at different shops and restaurants, and learned about the history of the market and the meat packing district. Our guide was wonderful, as was the guide on the tour before ours. The participants were all casual well dressed adults who were eager to "go with the flow". I'm looking forward to taking the SoHo tour in the Spring! |

| Our Tour Guide, Daryl was fun and informative.
While I enjoyed the inside tour of the Market ,I prefered the outside portion of the tour and would recommend that this part be extended.
The Salt Tasting was gimicky and I would substitute it with something else.
We prefered the Greenich Village tour to this one but we had a great time nontheless! |

| We had taken the Greenwich Village tour before with family and decided to reccommend we take the meat packing while in with friends (8) in total. Curt the guide/entertainment was great, very informative, funny and really added to the experiance. We and our friends had a really good time and they all said they would take other tours by your company again when in the city. Cudos to your choice of employees!!! Food was plentiful and choices well thought out. Keep Up the good work and we will return for the new Greenwhich Village tour in the future. |

| Very iinteresing tour about food and history of the area. Our guide (Kirk? canadian, comedian) was great and very detail oriented with all participants. The tastings were very good and the portions pretty big. The whole history, food recipes and area tips were great. We want to do the other tours in the future. |

| I read quite a few reviews before booking this tour and to be totally honest
I have to agree with the one that said that you could have done it on your own.
Aside from the few tastings that we had. That by the way, were not enough for lunch.
It was an ok tour. My husband and I got there an hour and a half early and walked
around on our own. It turns out everywhere we went on our own was part of the tour.
I was bored from the start. Don't be fooled by the location (Chelsea Market). It has
absolutely nothing to do with the food network. I did however enjoy our tour guide.
I can't remember his name. He was the red head. He was actually the best part of the tour. All in all, I guess the price was reasonable. Had I paid any more than $40.00 I would have felt ripped off. |

| We arrived as the last part of our Zerve tour group and were welcomed by our tour guide. The food tastings were great; our guide was knowledgable about the food, the restaurants, and the history of Chelsea Market and the meat-packing district. He knew so many details, it was like a mini-history class but interesting. It was very enjoyable and has induced me to return and try out various spots in the area. |

| I've recommended this to a lot of my friends as a good second or third date type of place. It's better than any other tour of NY that I've done, and as a resident of New York I didn't think it was too touristy. |

Great way to spend a few hours in NYC

| The tour was terrific, as good, if not better, than the West Village one we took a few months ago. Our tour guide Todd was informative, energetic and fun. The food samples were delicious. |
