| 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. |

| When my husband and I planned our trip to New York, the Chelsea Market /
Meatpacking Food Tasting Tour was scheduled at the last minute because I had just bought Rachael Ray's Magazine and saw the ad for the tour. We had no idea what it was about and we had never heard of the Chelsea Market...but...it turned out to be the highlight of our vacation! We had such a wonderful time...fun, laughter, informative, good food, nice people, fantastic bake and food shops are just a few adjectives to describe the experience. And Kurt....what a delightful and nice young man! I He made us feel so welcomed...and was genuinely concerned that all of us in his group tour were having fun and that we got enough to eat. He was very informative and knowledgeable as he led the tour. He gave us good advice and good tips about the meatpacking district. We wanted to take the Greenwich Village Food Tasting Tour, but that Friday was our last day in New York.
We plan to visit New York again...and the first thing we are going to do is to take the Greenwich Village Food Tasting Tour and again the Chelsea Market tour ...and I hope that we're lucky to get Kurt again for both tours. |

| First of all this tour was fabulous as was the tour guide, Cindy. The history and nuances of the Market was fasinating, not to mention all the delectables found inside. My husband is a gourmet cook and everything was on par with his cooking. We had a short walk around the neighborhood, perhaps a little shorter than normal for it was quite cold. I felt fortunate to have seen the area before "progress" takes over. Unfortunately I had a meeting to go to so I couldn't revisit as many shops as desired. Be sure and allow yourself 2 extra hours to browse the stores, restaurants, and neighborhood. In fact go ahead and make early dinner resevations at Frank's Steak House and use the in between time to indulge in the area. It will be first on my list for my next trip back to NYC. Maybe I'll be able to stay in that area! |

| Kurt was our tour guide on the 12/3 tour. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire tour. I loved learning all about Chelsea Market; the merchants there clearly have great passion for what they do. I also enjoyed touring the Meatpacking district. I would never have been able to navigate that myself, and certainly would not have enjoyed it so much. Great job! I'll definitely do another one of your tours next time I'm in NYC.

| Our group of 5 adults found the tour a great way to learn about the history of the area and the present businesses. The guide really sounded like he was having fun - and his enthusiasim was contageous! The food was good. After the tour we returned to the Market to shop. |

| The tour guide had a delightful personality that kept the entire group engaged in the tour. She was able to share a great amount of information with the group in an interesting way. She was open to all questions from the group. I would highly recomend the tour to other individuals. |

| Our guide, Cindy, was very knowledgeable and very outgoing. She taught us things we never dreamed of. She knew every step, every store, where to eat and who to talk to. She knew the area very well and was extremely friendly. We will recommend this tour to our friends and family. |
