| This was my third tour with Foods of New York. My first was the Greenwich Village with Todd as my guide. There were only three in the group (which were all my friends) so it was nice and personal. I loved it so much I had my husband join me at my next visit in NYC and I still enjoyed it the second time. This was my first tour of the Chelsea Market and Todd did a great job. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend these tours to anyone visiting New York and who especially wants to avoid the Times Square tourist areas.

| Darryl, our tour guide, was hilarious and very knowledgeable. He made our tour fun, relaxed, and entertaining. A trip to NYC would not be complete without going on a food tour especially to the Chelsea Mkt / Meatpacking district area. This was our very first food tour so we did not know what to expect...we were pleasantly surprised and recommend this tour highly. The food was tasty and awesome. |

Great time.

| Tour guide was Cindy. She did a great job!! I have taken the Greenwich Tour in the past. This was just as good. Next time we come to NY, I would like to take your SOHO tour.
It is a great way to spend three hours in the afternoon. I would highly recommend it to anybody. It is an excellent way to get to know NY on a more intimate basis. |

| I go to New York City every year and I loved this tour. It was different from the typical tourist stuff and I learned a lot about another part of the city. The food was great and I bought several of the items right in Chelsea market. |

| We had a terrific guide that shared lots of history about the markeplace as well as the surrounding area. I learned so much about New York, then and now. If I had gone to the marketplace myself, I would have never appreciated the setting and the neighborhood in the same way. The tastings were an extra treat...best chocolate croissants I've ever eaten. |

| Having already been on your Greenwich Village Tour, I knew that my friends and I would not be disappointed at the Chelsea Market / Meatpacking District Tour. Our tour guide Curt was so informative and we had so much fun with him. The food samples were so plentiful and also entirely delicious. These tours are a wonderful concept and I can't wait to try another one!!!! |

| Curt was a great guide, very personable and extremely informative. We all Loved the croissants, and lobster bisque, seafood chowder, and Italian sampling. We had a good sampling of other foods as well. Did not leave the tour hungry. We stopped at several spots of interest for touristy sightseeing. Very enjoyable 3 hours! |

| Our guide (Kurt) was unbelievably knowledgeable, witty, and entertaining! He was so enthusiastic, he even made an effort to learn our names. The food was out of this world. |

| We had never been to Chelsea, and loved this introduction to Chelsea Market and the surrounding area. The tasting tour of the Market far exceeded our expectations. Curt absolutely exceeded our expectations as our tour director. His knowledge of the area, his humor, and his attention to detail made this an experience that we would highly recommend to others. The "tastings" were very good in flavors, amounts, and variety. After the tour we went back to the market to buy some of the foods we had sampled (I wish this market was in our area), and to wander through the rest of the shops. As we toured the neighborhood around the market, we developed a list of "must try" restaurants for our next trip to New York. This tour is a great way to get to know one specific area in New York. We look forward to trying new areas, via the tours, during future visits. |
