| My husband and I really enjoyed this tour. Sam, our guide, gave us a great history lesson while we enjoyed really good food. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in doing a little something different in New York. The best part was ending the tour at the bar on top of Hotel Ganselvoort. We had 360 degree views of the city while drinking $9 beer. It was so worth it! Request Sam if you can... he was a lot of fun! |

| Kurt the tour guide was knowledgeable, interesting and involved all taking part in the tour. We got to try some wonderful food and find out alot about the area. All our group felt this was a highlight of our trip and when we come back to New York will make time to try another food tour. |

| My compliments. Another proof that it comes all down to the tour guide. In our case Bob was just the perfect tour guide providing the perfect mix, of history facts, funny stories and good tastings - all with the right attention to detail.
Thanks, Bob! |

| We learned a lot on the tour and were given plenty to eat. Sam was an excellent tour guide and we will try one of the other Zerve tours next time we are in NY. Highly recommend. |

| Hi- I've been on your Greenwich tour as well and I prefer that one better than this one: the food was more spaced out with the walking, the order of the food was better. On this tour, we started with a wonderful cookie that should have been the last as dessert. The visit at Buono Italy should have been first with the bread and the meats. Our tour started at 11:30 so that would have made sense to have the first tasting at that time with the meats, cheese and bread. Unfortunately with the way all the eateries are contained in the market, it's understandably hard to space out the walking with the eating. I really enjoyed the history of the area. Most of the walking was done after we left the market, so ... I'd recommend the Greenwich one to friends before I would this tour. I'm going to try the Chinatown one next, so I hope you'll get that up and running in time for the fall weather. |

| Coming from Houston,Texas; where we have a very diverse culture of cusines and people from all over the world, I was very impressed with the tour of Chelsea Market. There are few (to none) places in Texas where you can get the finest, freshest and very delicious items located at the all in one location such as Chelsea Market; many being local.
I was a bit skeptical at first about spending 3 hours on a tour, but let me tell you it was well worth the experience. For those of you with a refined palate, or as my husband jokingly calls "food connoisseurs", you will enjoy the fine products available and the tasting of the various foods available in the market.
If you get to taste the fine baked goods at Eleni's, or the fresh milk from Ronnybrook Dairy, to the scrumptous seafood from the Lobster Place, then you will realize it was worth the tour. For those of you that are "finicky" eaters, such as my friend that accompanied me, then this tour may not be the best for you (if it's not a Burger, then she won't touch it). All the rest should enjoy!
Hopefully, you will be charmed by the tour guide (our guide was Cindy) as we were. |

| It was a great tour and I would absolutely book it again. The only negative I can say is that I really did not need to walk thru the restaurants just to see them. At the end of our tour, we walked through about 4-5 restaurants and walked thru a hotel. I could have done without that part. The tour was very informative and enjoyable. Our tour concluded at a hotel a few blocks from Chelsea market. I think it would have been better to end at the market. We were on a time crunch and weren't able to go back to the market to shop at the end of our tour. Will recommend to anyone I hear who is going to NYC. |

| I took my parents and aunt and uncle on the Chesea Market food tour. Even though I'm a local, I learned a ton about the market and the neighborhood and enjoyed the food immensely. Plus, we were given much more food than I had anticipated in a "tasting". Our guide was entertaining and made it a fun day. I would absolutely recommend this tour. |
