| Curt was our guide on 9/17/06 for the Chelsea Market Tour and provided exceptionally entertaining and insightful information about the Market, the businesses, the neighborhood and its history! I would enthusuiastically recomment his tours to anyone who wanted to have an engaged, knowlegeable and affable tour guide. |

| Having just arrived in NYC less than 12 hours hours before, this was an exciting welcome to the city. Kurt, our guide, was very welcoming and enthusiastic- a good welcome to the city. He was very knowledgeable about the market, the shops, the owners, and the food. You could tell he loves this- what he is showing, what he is presenting for the tastings, the people, it seems he was having as much fun as the rest of us. Whatever you do- don't eat a big breakfast just before the tour! And don't worry about lunch- you will eat plenty. Some of the tastings are a bit unusual, but interesting- like the "salt tasting", but some of it is downright delicious- like the cup of lobster bisque and the italian meats and cheeses tastings (trust me- try the mortadella- it melts in your mouth). Once out of the market, you will walk a lot- have your comfy walking shoes on! Our ending was an especially surprsing and relaxing end, which I will not disclose because I don't want to ruin the surprise!
Especially for the "foodie," but great for anyone. |

| This was my third trip to New York and this food tasting walking tour is on my top ten things to do!!! The tour guide (Kurt) was very enthusiastic and well versed in the area and the food. He kept the tour moving along, but did not rush the group. I would highly recommend this tour, and will be taking the other tours offered on future trips to the area. Great food and a good time!!!! Thank you Kurt!! |

| My husband & I were in NYC in January 2006. We liked the Greenwich Village tour so much that I decided to do the Chelsea tour with my friends on a return trip in September.
Kurt, our guide, was great; knowledgeable and super funny.
I would say that the food tastings on the Village tour are a little better, more variety.
I would recommend either tour; and I look forward to the next one!! |

| We LOVED this tour! Our guide, Kurt, was very informative, but he also had an amazing sense of humor. We didn't want to miss a word he said! The food we sampled was not only delicious, but also gave us a "taste" of the history of the area. We went back at night for steak! |

| We are originally from Brooklyn, NY and New Jresey. We live in Florida for the past 35 years and go back to NYC regularly. On each trip we sign up for a tour and we are amazed at what we never knew and the direction that the City is taking. We learn so much about the people that give and donate to preserve and to make the city a place of history for all to come, see, taste and enjoy.
We highly recommend this tour so you can hear the evolution of a great city in motion. |
