We were extremely disappointed with the tour. We actually left the tour early it was boring. My group was tired of crowding around and trying to fight for the tastes we got. There was eighteen people and we assumed there were to be sixteen. The tour guide was funny and entertaining. But the tour itself ,was something we could have done on our own for nothing. We thought we would get to tour a different part of the Chelsea market that normal people were unable to go to. We know what a fish market is, and I am sure, if we asked, we would be allowed to have a taste of the soups. The group of five of use left because it just was not our thing. We could have saved the $40.00 and bought a good lunch in NYC.
I would not reccomend this toud to anyone. |

| In today's society it is very difficult to find wholesome family entertainment to engage in. Finding time for family recreation can be a challenge because of busy schedules. It's important that parents search out ways to spend quality family time together and help their children get off the couch, away from television, video games and the internet to explore the world. This tour was a perfect way to do that. My family and I had a wonderful time sampling diffierent foods and enjoying the company of other families in the process. Learning the history and seeing the many landmarks in the Chelsea area along with the up and coming projects made for an interesting tour. Kurt, our tour guide made the experience fun. |

| Our tour of Chelsea Market/Meatpacking district was interesting and fun. Our tour guide, Curt, was funny, enthusiastic and informative. Everything seemed to run like clockwork. The transition from one tour/tasting to another was smooth. I enjoyed the Chelsea Market better then the meatpacking part of the tour. The Chelsea tour had food tasting as well as history of the stores and building. The Meatpacking only included the history of the area. It would have been nice to have at least one meat, or some other kind of tasting at the end. The end was a little anti-climatic. I would recommend this tour to others. |

| Having done the Greenwich tour last Spring and enjoyed it, we decided to try the Chelsea tour. We were not disappointed! In addition to seeing an area of NYC from a native's view, the food is great and we again took away restaurant recommendations that we will use in coming visits. Can't say enough about Curt. He was an outstanding guide: funny, informative, concerned. The perfect "host" and group leader. Our only regret is that there are only two tours and now we've done them both. Add some new venues: we'll be there next Spring! |

| I took the tour with 7 friends and Curt as our guide. The 3 hours went quickly. We all enjoyed the many fascinating historical facts provided about Chelsea Market and the Meatpacking District, in addition to Curt's fun presentation of those facts. We found out how Oreo's were named! The tastings were delicious and plentiful, including an unexpected salt tasting. The chocolate almond croissants and coffee milk are to die for! I would definitely recommend this tour, and am planning to take the Greenwich Village as well. |
