| very interesting building and history of past and recent development and neighbourhood
food selection focused too much on sweet things--luncheon selection at buon italia was pedestrian and unsatisfying.
there was a sufficient quantity of food just not a balanced selection and not sophisticated enough--this is after all billed as a food tour and i (along with my friend) came away with no new knowledge
Tour guide very pleasant and knowledgable |

| We had a great time on the tour. Cindy was a fabulous tour guide with alot of knowledge of the area and New York history. We live in the tri state area and learned alot while having fun. The food is fabulous. I would recommend the tour to locals as well as people visiting the area. |

| This was a great experience! It was perfect for almost all ages (just need to cover the ears of the little kids when the "seedier" parts of town are being discussed. There was great food and a very livley tour guide. The tour was mostly inside the Chelsea market so the weather wasn't to much of a concern. It's necissary that you come with an empty stomach because there is a lot of food given to you. You get to see some of the more behind the scenes operations and it was just a great all around tour, wear comfortable shoes because you will be standing (it's a walking tour!) It was a great experiance, with a lot of food being served. You get a chance to taste a little bit of everything, and if you have any dietary concerns you will most likely be given a sample of some other kind of food (or so was the case on our tour). Great experiance and recomended for everyone! |

| our leader was informative but we felt there was too much time spent wandering back and forth through the chelsea market. In compaison to the Greenwich tour we had done previously, there was not the same variey of restaurant ideas, history, and architecture discussion involved. Maybe there just isn't as much to talk about in that area? we probably could have got the same amount of info in half the time. We enjoyed what we did experience and learn. Thank you.

| My husband and I really enjoyed the history and the food! Our tour guide was informative and a lot of fun. She was knowledgeable about many other areas as well. It was one of the best things we have done in the city in years. |

| Our tour guide was extemely knowledgable and entertaining. I was only sorry the tour was only three hours. I was also sorry I did not have time to go on the greenwich village tour. |

| This is the second time I've taken this tour and the third with the company. Each one has been better than the last. Everything is so well thought out and presented. The guides are extremely articulate as well as fun! Food was terrific. If it wasn't such a cold, windy day, we'd have gone back to the market to shop. Following the Greenwich Village tour, we've visited many of the restaurants numerous times. We can't wait to come back and gain a few pounds in the eateries on this tour as well. If you do no other tours in the city, take this one. A guaranteed winner! |

| Kurt was a fantastic leader for our group on Friday, 1/13. His enthusiasm and knowledge were stellar. I would definitely do this tour again and look forward to doing so with my husband and family members. Also, I will be recommending this tour to my local NYC friends so that they can also get the true experience for themselves. The food we tasted was great, too - lots of variety. Loved the gelato!!! |
