| Our guide Darryl was darling, fun & knowledgeable!! He was enthusiastic and flexible. It was awesome to learn so much history of the Chelsea Market as well as the Meatpacking District. The food was amazing and so interesting. Definitely filled us up for lunch. I would recommend it to anyone and looking forward to going on another tour soon! |

| Best part, of course, was the food tasting (especially the croissant from French Oven!). I was surprised by how much food there was to sample - it really was a good lunch (although the courses were not in order - I love having dessert first and last). I've been to Chelsea Market several times before (Frank's) but will definitely go back more often. It personalized the place in a way that made it more approachable. I'm from a small town on Long Island where you know who owns & runs the supermarket and after the day was over I felt that same familiarity with Chelsea Market. Looking forward to seeing how the Meat Packing District will change even more in the next few years. Thanks! |

| Todd was a wonderful tour guide. The selected tastes were outstanding. We will return to many of the restaurants on our own. |

| We had a group of family ranging in ages 15 to 71. Everyone in our group was totally impressed and thoroughly enjoyed the tour. I was concerned that the older ones in our group would not be able to keep up the pace, but that was not the case. Having most of the tour inside the meat market on a hot August day worked out great. Even our most picky eaters enjoyed the food and the experience. Our tour guide, Ed, was knowledgeable about the area and food, and we all felt that we learned a lot from our tour.
This is definately a place that I'd like to come back to visit the next time I'm in New York. I have taken the Greenwich Village and Soho tours on past visits and was equally impressed. In fact our dinner the night before this tour was at a restaurant that I had visited previously on the Soho tour.
I hope that Zerve will continue to add more tours. You've won me over completely as a customer. |

| The Chelsea Market tour was fun and educational as well as filling us with food and drink. I never had farm fresh milk. The meatpackers tour was just as informative, the history as well as the future of the district was very interesting. |

| I ENJOYED THE TOUR. CURT WAS OUR GUIDE AND HE MADE IT VERY ENTERTAINING BESIDES INFORMATIVE. ON MY OWN, I WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN THE HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE OF EACH VENDOR, AND PROBABLY WOULD HAVE WALKED RIGHT BY THEM. TIME FLEW BY, BUT CURT EVEN FIT IN SOME EXTRA TOUR STOPS! |

| This tour was well worth the time and money. It is not too much walking as it mostly takes place in the indoor Chelsea market. The food tastings were delicious but what really made it great was the information our guide shared about all of the establishments and the building itself as well as the area in general. Highly recommended! |

HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

| This was actually my second food tour. The first was of the Greenwich Village area several years ago which was also WONDERFUL (even in the rain)! This was equally as interesting - or more, if possible! The guide (Curt) was enthusiastic and obviously enjoyed his surroundings . He was very contientious of making everyone comfortable and involved. All the food was terrific. I have even ordered from one of the shops since I've been home. IT WAS A TRULY GREAT EXPERIENCE AND I WOULDN'T HESITATE TO DO IT AGAIN.
I do wish, however, that we had gotten to take just a peak at the Food TV taping area. I was not aware that was located in that building, but it would have been great to have seen the floor and setups where the shows are filmed. That would have really been a treat! |

| The tour was more than I had expected. Our tour guide, Bob, was very knowledgable and informative sharing the history of the Chelsea Market with us. I thought the tour was well planned and prepared and worth seeing if you are visiting NYC. |
