| 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. |

| Our group of four women had previously gone on the Greenwich Village food tour and thought nothing could top it but we absolutely loved the Chelsea Market/Foodpacking District tour. Our guide, Kurt, was very informative and interesting. The food was great. We even got to see some of the Food Network stars. I would highly recommend this tour. I believe this is a tour that even men would enjoy because of the history of the building. |

| Don't be fooled by the name "meatpacking district", this is not what you think. The village, Chelsea Market and surrounding area which we toured are part of the OLD meatpacking district. Alot of history, great shops, great food, wonderful stores to shop at, and restuarants to eat at potentially! Don't hesitate to take this tour, there is so much to know that you could never learn on your own unless you lived there for many years. Even the two 17 yr.olds with us really enjoyed it! Don't eat much before you go because you will look forward to each bite! Wear comfy shoes because you will walk for a full three hours and then hopefully more on your own after. Kurt was very fun and knowledgeable. Thankyou we will see you again. |
