| My wife and I totally enjoyed the Chelsea Market tour. Not only did we experience many new and exciting shops, but we sampled some of the best food in town. The lobster bisque was the best we had ever had and the salt sampling was unique. We also experienced a double baked chocolate croissant that was fantastic!!!!! The food sampling alone was worth the fee.
The best part of the tour, however, was our tour guide Cindy!!!!! This wonderful, vivacious and personable lady made the whole experience FUN!!!! She filled us with soooo much history about the market and the surrounding area that the three hours went by too quickly. Instead of being tired after our long walk we were energized by the experience and my wife and I continued to comment on the tour as we walked back to our hotel.
If you haven't figured it out, this was a unique and phenomenal experience that we both loved. The next time we are in the City we plan to try and hookup with Cindy again and do the Greenwich Village tour. Who needs books, CDs or TVs when you can have Cindy????!!!!!

| This was a great experience! It was perfect for almost all ages (just need to cover the ears of the little kids when the "seedier" parts of town are being discussed. There was great food and a very livley tour guide. The tour was mostly inside the Chelsea market so the weather wasn't to much of a concern. It's necissary that you come with an empty stomach because there is a lot of food given to you. You get to see some of the more behind the scenes operations and it was just a great all around tour, wear comfortable shoes because you will be standing (it's a walking tour!) It was a great experiance, with a lot of food being served. You get a chance to taste a little bit of everything, and if you have any dietary concerns you will most likely be given a sample of some other kind of food (or so was the case on our tour). Great experiance and recomended for everyone! |

| My husband and I really enjoyed the history and the food! Our tour guide was informative and a lot of fun. She was knowledgeable about many other areas as well. It was one of the best things we have done in the city in years. |

| The tour was wonderful and Kurt was a great guide. The history of the area is fascinating and food was delicious. I live on LI and never took advantage of what the city has to offer. The tour reminded me and I plan to make it a priority to get into the city more. While I did not do the tour with my children, I have teenagers and feel they would have enjoyed it as well. I plan to do the Greenich Village tour next. |

| We had a wonderful time on our food tour. Our guide was teriffic, the foods very fine, and the facts, history, and conversation just as delicious. We would not only recommend but plan on doing the other food tour in the near future. I think that most people would enjoy this, however maybe persons with children might want to hold off until they would be old enough to deal such a long tour. There is much to look at and listen to and the scenery changes frequently, but I would think a young one might have some trouble. |

| My wife and I took this tour while in NYC over the Christmas holidays. We both really enjoyed learning the history of the area and about its projected future-- it appears
that it is going to be a rapidly growing area of NYC. It was great to learn about an area of NYC that we were not that familiar with. We even came back to the area and dined at some of the restaurants that we were introduced to during the tour.
The food was excellent also. Todd was a great tour guide-- he was both very friendly
and most informative.
This tour was one of the highlights of our trip. We both highly recommend the tour-it is an excellent way to spend three hours sampling the cuisine and learning about the area. |

| This tour exceeded my expectations. Our tour guide was fun and informative. I look forward to returning and doing the other tour. I do hope you add Soho or others to the options. Food was delicious. I also loved the tidbits of history and trivia. |

| This is an excellent tour that includes an insightful, tasteful (food wise) and historic guide of the city's districts. The tour guides are very knowledgable and very friendly. Having taken the Greenwich Village tour the previous year, and after taking this tour, I would definitely take the tours a second, and even a third time. |
