| Cindy was terrific - well-versed and upbeat. However, she oversold the tastings which were good, but not spectacular, particularly the 'italian feast' which was hardly that. She put out a spread for 15 people that shouldn't have had to feed more than 4. It was skimpy and underwhelming. Also, why not spring for a full cone serving of gelato? $40 was a steep pricetag, all in all.

| We enjoyed the guided tour of the Chelsea food market. The guide was very interesting and well informed. The food was delicious and plentiful. We had a great time. It is a mostly indoor tour so it is good for the cold weather we were having at the time. |

| Despite a very cold day, our party of 13 were given a very informative insight to the restaurants and history of the meat-packing district. Our guide was very knowledgable and we learnt so much from her during the tour.
The different stops for refreshment allowed us to sample a wide range of foods.
Well worth the money. |

| For $40 a head, we expected more food. You only do get a real small sample per stop/tasting. The tour-lady is kind and enthusiastic; but she kept on talking and talking and talking... So basically if the 3-hour tour was only 1.5 hours, it would've been superb.
Still would recommend to people. |

| A friend and I were in New York for 4 days recently and having read about the FoodTours online, decided to book the Chelsea Market one - it being mostly indoors, out of the winter chill. From the minute it began, this was without a doubt the highlight of our trip. Being total foodies, the range of fare on offer really impressed us, with the focus on natural ingredients and sublime taste! The contrasting businesses we got to visit and the seemingly unlimited access we were privy to was unexpected but so very enjoyable! Kurt Upton, our guide was the main reason this tour was as engaging as it was - hilarious and endlessly knowledgeable, Kurt's love of food and enthusiasm for the market, its inhabitants and the area was irrepressible.....to the extent of bringing the 15 of us to his friend Marjorie's bed and breakfast for a peek around!!
We were so delighted to have discovered this New York treasure, we cannot wait to come back, visit the fabulous Chelsea Market again and take part in the Greenwich village tour - I highly, highly recommend an excursion with Foods of New York, a wonderful experience! We've been singing its praises ever since and will be for some time to come!! Michelle - Ireland |

| My daugher-in-law and I were in the city for a "girl's" trip and enjoyed this tour very much. Curt, our tour guide was very informative and very entertaining. All of the stops provided us with great food and interesting New Yorkers to tell us about their products. We were lucky enough to meet Sarabeth on our tour and did go to one of her restaurants the next day. We also enjoyed the "walk-thru" of the B & B. I would highly recommend this tour.
