| We thoroughly enjoyed the upbeat personality of our guide as well as the great nibbles along the way. The day was drizzly and cold so it turned out to be the perfect tour as most of it was indoors. Thanks for a great afternoon! |

| Superb tour for foodies - lots of great produce sampled in Chelsea market. Have also done the Greenwich tour, previously. Think Chelsea market is better for 'foodies' with Greenwich more for seeing more of New York.

| This was my second time taking this tour - I like to take special visitors because it is refreshingly original. Besides being a great building from an historical perspective, what they have done with it is just great. Top it off with tasty bites from many of the purveyors, and noshing becomes entertainment. Our tour guide Cindy is full of knowledge and enthusiasm and is a huge part of what makes it great. The meatpacking district is trendy and quickly changing, so see it while you can! |

| 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????!!!!!

| Cindy was the reason this tour was so good. She talked about what is happening now around Chelsea Market area and the places we were seeing in addition to talking about the history of the area. She was great! |

| I took the Greenwich tour a few years back and really enjoyed it, so I figured I'd try this one. It was fantastic! The guide was knowlegeable and entertaining. THe chosen vendors were very good, the area was perfect. I thought the tour was definitely worth the ticket price- food servings were generous- I like the Lobster bisque!
Thank you! |
