| I LOVED IT AND THE TOUR GUIDE WAS WONDERFUL. THE FOODS WERE VARIED AND DELICIOUS. THE HISTORY OF THE AREA AND THE EXPLANATIONS OF THE FOODS ON HOW IT BECAME A HIT TODAY WAS INCREDULOUS. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND I WOULD LOVE TO GO BACK AGAIN SOON. |

| 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. |

| We had a great afternoon with Kurt. It was fun, and included phenomenal food. The character of the neighborhood was created for us. The only negative that I have was that MacCallister the restaurant was recommended to us. We had a horrible dining experience there and would recommend that you focus on other good restaurants in the area rather than that one. Thanks for a great experience and next trip we will be doing Greenwich Village. |

| Cindy our guide was very funny and she gave the whole group such inside information about Chelsea Market and its history. She added a New York Flair that was very enjoyable. This was my husband's first trip to my hometown, Cindy's information gave him insight about New York that he fell in love with. He enjoyed the food and just the freshness that the market provided. We wished we had more time to stay in Chelsea but we had an appointment to go to immediately after the tour was over. Next time we are going to bring an extra suitcase to lug home the treasures we found. It provided a great time and wonderful food to try. Thanks! |

| What a fantastic tour! Curt, our guide, was very informative, and approached the tour with a very upbeat attitude that only added to the fun. The food was exceptional, and true to their word, we were not hungry at the close of the tour. Would highly recommend to any and all friends and family members. A very unique way to see New York! Whenever I am in New York, I will definately put it on my list of things to do! |

| My husband and I really enjoyed this tour. I would suggest going at the beginning of your trip to NYC so that you can learn a lot about the area and revisit the places that they take you to. |
