| We enjoyed every minute of the entire tour! It was interesting, funny, and the food was incredible. Our tour guide was wonderful, he was able to blend our group with total strangers, we felt very comfortable. Thank you, we can't wait to do the other tours! |

| The Chelsea Market/Meat Packing Tour was the hit of our "Sisters" weekend in NYC. Our guide, Kirk, was not only VERY informativeand knowledgeable, but friendly and quite funny. All of the food and vendors were amazing. The 3 hour tour went by so quickly and we all wanted MORE. I have already highly recommended the tour to several friends who are planning a NYC trip as well to my daughter and her friends who frequent NYC. I plan to take the Greenwich tour when I visit again. AND I will return to the Chelsea Market and the surrounding neighborhood area again now because of having taken the tour. |

| There was so much information that we obtained that I would have never known without this tour. Our guide, Kurt was spectacular. His knowledge and humor was right on the money.
The food in Chelsea market was outstanding. We went back and purchased alot of the items we tasted.
We would recomend this tour to everyone going to New York |

| We have visited NYC many times but have never gone to the Chelsea area. The food tour was a good way to experience that area along with the Meatpacking District. Lots of history there and big revitilization plans. Food tastings along the way were good. Our guide, Daryl, was well informed and funny, too. We have taken another food tour, Greenwich Village, and it was good, too.
I did take another tour this week (with another company) and found their visual aids to be very helpful. The guide had old photos to share with the group that depicted the areas in a historical time frame. |

| This tour was one of the highlights of our trip. Everything we tasted was fabulous! Darryl was funny and entertaining and went out of his way to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. I loved all of his sides stories about the sites we were seeing. Don't hesitate to purchase these tickets, it will be worth every penny! |

This tour was fun but not diverse enough

| My family and I took the Chelsea Food tour and had mixed feelings about it. We enjoyed our guide very much and some of the food but here is some feedback.
1. Too much time was spent in the Chelsea Market itself and not enough time out in the Chelsea Neighborhood. There are MANY other restaurants in Chelsea that we could have had tastes in.
2. The tastings had too many sweets and not enough REAL food.
3. The salt tasting was a bit odd, and placed between two sweet tastings
4. We were expecting some interesting architectural and historical information outside of the market as well, like in your Greenich Village Food Tour. We loved seeing the High Line and hearing about the plans for the walkway and we would have liked to see more of the neighborhood, especially some of the OLD brownstones on the side streets and heard about their history.
Thank you for listening and we look forward to taking a third tour with you some time. How about a SOHO Tour or BROOKLYN!!!! |

| 4 of us signed up but one could not make it due to a leg injury. I could not find a sub on short notice. It would have been nice if she had been allowed to either get her $ back or reschedule or use it for another excursion since we are thinking about doing the Village. She had plenty of doctor's prescriptions and paperwork. We did return to the market to buy things and all were excellent but we were not able to shop a lot since we were not prepared to carry everything we would have liked to get back to NJ.
I have told others about the tour and they were very interested and I am giving them information. Would you be willing to send me 2 or 3 pamphlets since not all have computers?
The guide, Darren, was an asset since his personality was very charming. He took care of us with sincere concern ( he had to find a friend who got separated from the group). His patter was amusing as well. |

| Our guide was fun and very nice and the food tour was a great way to discover Chelsea Market, especially since you can always go back to your favorite stores after the tour. Our group was nice and I even met another European person (I live in Philadelphia but am French and she was on vacation in NY from Germany)! The booklet/documentation was also very helpful for we tasted and saw so many things that we wouldn't have been able to remember it all if we hadn't been given this booklet. I was thrilled and very happy with the tour; I took many pictures and will definitely recommend it to all the people I know.
PS: I was too "shy" to give the German woman my e-mail address but, if possible, could you please forward/e-mail it to her?? We had a good time together during the tour. I am Stephanie (tsarane@hotmail.com). Thank you! |
