Informative, but the food was not what I expected.

| I expected the food to be different to include more meal like samples instead of cheese, meats, and a lot of sweets. I did not expect so much sweet. Had I known that I would have chosen a different tour. The tour guide was very nice and informative. |

| Comparing this food tasting tour to the Greenwich Village one...
Because the majority of the tour was in Chelsea Market, there wasn't a good enough balance of walking and eating. Maybe the tour could start in the Market walk out to the Meat Packing District and then conclude back in the market just to allow more movement in between the eating. |

Fabulous Tour!!!

| If you love food and history, you'll love this tour. It was three full hours of tasting, talking and touring one of the most interesting areas of New York City-Chelsea Market and the Meatpacking District. Kurt was our tour guide and from the very first minute all the way through to the very end, he was enthusiastic, funny and so knowledgable about food and the history of the area. We had a blast and would highly recommend this tour to anyone. Money well spent! (The food is delicious too!) |

| We had the best time with Kurt in Chelsea Market Tour. Our Guide was excellent and seemed so comfortable with all the staff in the different places we visited. He was funny, resourceful, and energetic. Our touring group was very diverse but he made everyone feel relaxed. This tour allows you to discover the hidden treasures in the revamped district and make you want to visit there again and again. Thanks Kurt for all your knowledge and enthusiasm, it was a wonderful time. |

| This is the second tour we've taken and Kirk (Kurt?) was our guide both times - we were so lucky. Not only do we learn about food, restaurants, and the area, we get a stand up comedy routine also. We have sent both of our adult children on this tour and they loved it too. I had never been to Chelsea before and now we will definitely be back! To be exposed to such amazing food and entertainment - priceless!! |

| This was a wonderful activity. My husband loves architecture and we both love food so this activity proved to be a great way to combine both of our loves. I should point out that it was MUCH more than a tasting. You should come with a somewhat empty stomach because their tasting portions are quite sizeable.
Our tour guide was fabulous! I think his name was Kurt. He was knowledgeable, entertaining and did an excellent job of telling us stories associated with each stop. He even took us to see a few sites that weren't on the outlined agenda.
Now that we've been introduced to the Chelsea Market and the Meatpacking district we will definitely return on our next trip to New York City. We'll also want to take another of Kurt's tours if he's around. |

| The 3 hour tasting tour of Chelsea Market and the Meatpacking District was terrific. The samples were generous and delicious. I have been on some tours where I was given a TINY cube of food to sample and this was not the case here. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and very patient with the group I was in. My husband and I also enjoyed the Greenwich Cultural and Tasting tour that I took about 3 years ago, when I went with the same great tour guide, Toby. I recommend both of these tours to anyone that goes to NYC. |

| This tour gave our group of 6 another insight into a neighborhood of NYC that we probably would not have spent any time in if it wasn't for this opportunity. The samples were great, the people watching was fun, and our tour guide Todd was friendly, thorough and accomodating to all people on the tour. His knowledge of the area was so intriguing that even passersby were listening in! Go, you won't regret it!! |

| Ron, our guide was very knowledgable & pleasant & the food was excellent. Especially interesting was to see the transition in this area from a seedy industriial part of town to a blossoming fashion & dining destination. |
