| Our leader, Kurt, was well informed, organized, and had a good, spontaneous sense of humor.
The food was plentiful, and for the most part, delicious. i never knew there were so many kinds of salt.
Our walk through the meatpacking district was informative and well presented, especially, the biker's bar.
My friend and I had a wonderful time, and are looking forward to the Greenwich Village tour. |

| Our tour guide was funny and knowledgeable. Learned a lot about the Chelsea Market and the Meat packing district. Would recommend this tour even to a local person. I have lived in N.J. all my life and have never been to this area. I will return to this area and would love to do another tour. Will have to check your site. |

| Outstanding three hours. My wife and I were in NYC with another couple for the weekend and this was recommended to us by friends. We thoroughly enjoyed the enthusiasm of Kurt, our guide. He gave us a wonderful history of the Meatpacking District and the evolution of Chelsea Market. Our "small bites" turned out to be more like a "five course degustation menu". We would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys food and history and loves New York. We enjoyed going back and shopping at many of the places we toured and felt like "seasoned" New Yorkers.
We enjoyed the opportunity to visit Del Posto and returned that evening after theatre for the Prix Fix menu and it was outstanding. Thank you for showing us a different part of Manhattan.
Kudos to Kurt and the Chelsea Market Tour! |

| My parents are visiting New York and they are in their 70s - Diana the tour guide was wonderful - attentive, and caring but really alive and funny too! We loved it - there was not too much walking - lots of food and great stories - it was a super way for us to see the Meatpacking district!! |

| The historical aspect of the tour was great. Enjoyed learning about the changes in the Chelsea area and the Meatpacking District. The shops in Chelsea Market are delightful. The food tasting was just okay - a lot of carbohydrates. |

| Hi,
I live in Chelsea and my brother and sister were in town visiting so I decided to take the tour. It was a great experience for them and for me! We all learned a lot. I've lived in the neighborhood for about two years and didn't know about 1/8 of the things that in the tour were told! I highly recommend this tour to tourists and also to locals who want to enrich themselves with fun facts of the city that they live in. Curt, our tour guide, was AWESOME!
Cheers! |

| I recommend this tour completely! I have been coming to NYC for five years now, and this was my favorite outing so far. The detail and care taken in the tour to inform everyone in a fun way about the history of the district was perfect. Kirk is THE tour guide to get --- he knows everything about food and barely takes breaths in between telling stories and learning everyone's name. Next time I come to NYC I'm going to take another tour from this company! Thank you! |

| A few years ago I had been on the Greenwich Village walking tour twice and thought they were wonderful. This time my sister and I decided to try something different. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the area, we tasted great food (to quote the woman behind us, "yes") and we saw very interesting sites. These tours are so enjoyable I will continue to recommend them to friends. |

| What a perfect way to spend a rainy afternoon, our tour guide Bob Gelber was a wealth of knowledge who would have known there was so much history to learn about Chelsea Market. The food was excellent and plentiful, our favorites were the Lobster Bisque and Biscuits and Fruit Spread! We were stuffed halfway through. I loved watching our tour guide with the Lobster! As a New Yorker it's rare that you find things to do in the city that you didn't know about-not only did we have a great time, but our Tour guide added humor to the tour to make it very enjoyable even walking through the meatpacking district in the POURING RAIN!!!!!! I recomend this to anyone coming to new york and living in new york! This is a tour for everyone |
