| After paying $40.00 apiece, we wondered if this would be three hours well-spent. It was worth every penny. We walked up and down the Chelsea Market before the official tour, doing a quick look around. When we actually took the the tour we were amazed at the amount of detail and information that had passed us by. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgable. The food tasting, a big feature of the tour, was varied and ample. The tour was not hurried, and the guide made sure everyone's needs were met throughout. The end result was a desire to go back and explore again, eat in many of the places we saw, and sign up for the other food tour! |

| I highly recommend the tour, whether you are alone or in a group. I had a fantastic time, learned so much about a neighborhood I might not have made it to at all. Plus tons of incredible food! |

| Our tour guide Curt was the key to success for this entertaining and informative, not to mention delicious, tour of Chelsea Market and the meatpacking district. The pace was just right, the amount of information he presented was appropriate, and the food tasting was fun and filling! Well worth the price and a wonderful way to get to know a whole new section of the ever interesting terrain that is Manhattan. At the conclusion of the tour, the four of us went back to Chelsea Market and each one of us spent 20 minutes zipping through the market like old pros picking up delicious treats from the samples we'd had earlier. We kept our purchases secret from one another until an hour before the concert we were going to that night and, thanks to our new found knowledge, we had an eclectic nosh fest that was more fun than reservations! |

| Saw a banner ad for the tour on the Foodnetwork site. Surfed on over and liked what I saw. Had a good friend who was soon celebrating her 50th. B-Day. So the wife and I decided to purchase tickets for her and her spouse. We also decided that we should purchase tickets for ourselves.
When our guide introduced himself with a ready smile and a joke I knew immediatly that we were in for a good time. My apologies to our guide, as I cannot remember his name. A beautiful informative day, shared by good friends with good food. What more could you ask for? |

Good but could be better

| I thought that since this was a tour of Chelsea Meat Packing area there should have been a bit of meat to choose from. Also, it was supposed to be a 3 hour tour & was over 20 minutes early. I enjoyed what we did & where we went but I think it should have been w/in 10 minutes of the 3 hours & I think we could've had a taste of 1 or 2 more items from different places. |

| Kurt, our guide was very informative, has a great personality, very friendly. The food was delish and there was enough for all. We did not go away hungry. I would definitely recommend this tour. The Greenich Village tour, which we took last spring is also recommeded. |

| we loved all the stops and had great intentions of going back to buy things after the tour but were too tired - in a good way! We are looking forward to going back to the area again and trying out the places we visited. |

| What a great time. We really felt like we knew the area by the time the tour had concluded. Our guide was fabulous and it was obvious that she enjoyed her work. We enjoyed learning about the history of the area and what the various restaurants were known for. Of course the food sampling was more than good it was great! Our next trip to NYC will definately include dining and shopping in this area.
