| From the first moment Kurt began our tour we knew we were in for an afternoon of fun. Little did we know just how delightful, informative, delicious, and entertaining it would be! Each tasting was more wonderful than the previous one; it would be impossible to pick a favorite. The history of the entire Chelsea and Meatpacking area was very interesting, and Kurt made it amusing as well. We highly recommended the tour to the others in our group and we will definitely return when we visit New York again. |

| My husband and I went on the tour this past Saturday. This tour and the tour guide Cindy was one of the highlights of our visit to the City. The market in the old Nabisco facility was incredible, it was so interesting to learn the history of the building. The outdoor meatpacking part of the tour was very interesting too.
This is a tour that is definitely recommended, the food that we sampled was well worth the price of the ticket to go on the tour.
The next time I visit the city with my girlfriends, We will go on this tour even though I have been once, it is something that should not be missed. |

| 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. |

| Tour guide was knowledgeable, energetic, and fun! The tastings were better than we'd hoped and the quantity of food was more than we expected. Had we taken a different tour, we would have been dealing with rain constantly. On this tour, however, all the tastings were indoors! We did leave Chelsea Market in order to see the Meat Packing District, but by then it was only sprinkling.
This food tour made us feel like we experienced something really special about New York. Highly recommended. |

| The walking tour is a great introduction to Chelsea Market. We learned the history of the building which was originally the Nabisco Factory and that was very interesting. Our guide took us to the back of the shops and restaurants to places we would never have gone on our own. We sampled the best items in the market from chocolate milk and chocolate croissants to cheese, olives and salami. I really enjoyed the history of the people who work in and own the shops. We went back in the cooler at the Lobster Market and tasted exotic flavored salt and chocolate caramels the Chelsea Basket Market.
The tour of the packing district was brief but very interesting, especially the trains that took the workers right into the factories. I would recommend the tour to people of all ages. |

| Hi!
I've done the village tour as well. The food tastings on both tours are fantastic. I enjoy the diversity of selections, etc. However, the village tour is more interesting, in my opinion. I like travelling through the streets learning about the history of the village. It's like a little mysterious path through greenwich. The meatpacking one is a little more stationary, and a little less appealing. However, the guides on both tours were fantastic. Keep up the good work. I'll continue bringing visitors out for food tours all the time! |
