| I own a Manhattan timeshare and come to NY once or twice a year. We took the Greenwich Village tour last year. I love these tours because they take me out of my Timessquare comfort zone to explore other areas of the island. I loved this tour. The tour guide was great. I will return to the market.

| The tour was excellent. It was part of a birthday celebration and everyone had a blast. The food choices were not things that I would have chosen at a restaurant, so I am glad that I had the opportunity to try something new. |

| I picked this activity for my group of friends on the recommendation of my children's school librarian and we were not disappointed. Our guide was very informative with personality plus. Everyone agreed it was worth the time and money. |

Too long and too little

| My brother and sisters and husband went on the Chelsea food tasting tour and were disappointed. While the tour guide was funny and informative, the tour was too long, (3hrs.) and the tasting too little. The most annoying thing about it was that you were not allowed to purchase anything in the shops until AFTERthe 3HR tour that ends down the street from the market! I don't know about you but I feel that "tourists" are basically impulse buyers and if they have to wait 2 hrs and walk a couple of blocks to go back to what they thought they wanted, most people would talk themselves out of it. I would have probably bought something in every shop we went to but as a result I bought nothing. Something to think about. |

| 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. |
