| The tour started on time, the participants were perfect for this type of event--congenial and anxious to be involved. Guide was most effective in taking charge, Let us know where she'd be, where to meet, how many minutes she'd be gone. Well planned and executed.
The tour dropped to almost zero when we went out of the facility. Altho much of the first portion (shops and future shops) was interesting, the stop at the bar was a real turnoff. It was dirty dark and filled me with revulsion. Could have had a more upbeat finale to such a wonderful day.
I have told many people about the tour and suggested they try it when in New York. |

| We loved the tour. My husband, son (age 11) and a friend from Greenwich, Conn. found the tour to be very interesting. Todd not only provided information about food but has a great knowledge of the history of the Chelsea Market and the Meat Packing District. We will definitly visit the area on our next trip to NYC.

| Our guide Kurt Upton was just the best. He kept us entertained and had so much information. It was truly a fabulous experience. I am looking forward to more tours with you soon. He kept the pace good, not too fast for us old folks. The selection of foods was great. Definately more than a "tasting". I know that you could never get the kind of experience that you can with the tour. He knew the ins and outs of everything. He was very well versed in the local culture. It was just alot of fun. The 3 hours just flew by. We felt like we were part of an "insiders" tour. He had excellent manners and was just a real cutie. I would recommend this tour to anyone going to NYC. |

| We happened to join the tour on a stormy day. The tour did not start well when a family of 8 was 10 minutes late. Diana, our guide, had to situate them, re-organize and rush back on schedule. This group of 8 had 4 children under 12 (one in stroller). Based on what I observed, young children in a group are not suited for this type of tour. They were eager to get to the food, asked random questions, and jostled around the adults and at times, they lost interest.. It was a challenging uncomfortable, distracting and tense 3 hours between Diana, the parents and the rest of the tour group.
The content of the tour was fun, interesting and veyr enjoyable. Beside having the ability to taste various food offerings, we saw the inside of the Morimoto and Del Posto restaurants. It would have been great if we could have seen the Food Network stages or kitchens.
My daughter (24yrs old) and I I would do the tour again at a different neighborhood. |

| I attended the tour with my 14 year old granddaughter. She and I both were so very pleased with it all. Todd was an excellent tour guide. I had no idea there was so much to enjoy at the market. I am very glad to have experienced it and would definitely do it again. I attended the tour to Greenwich Village last year with another granddaughter and have 4 more to go!!!, so you'll be seeing me again. I plan to recommend both tours to my friends. |

| What a great way to get a sample from virtually place in the Chelsea Market and learn about the history, as well. Other people in the Market were just kind of wandering around deciding where to have lunch. Why decide? My cousin was with me and she has lived in NYC for the last 8 years. She learned a lot on the tour, and saw things that she hadn't before. I'm sure the other tours are just as good. I can't wait to try them. |

| You better go on this tour hungry because they feed you at every stop!! The history on Chelsea Market and the area all around was interesting and informative. The Tour Guide did a great job in keeping us moving and seeing all the points of interest in the time frame. I have all ready recommended this tour to all~ |

| This was a great tour with lots of food tastings. Since it is mostly inside, I would strongly recommend it for the winter months. |
