| We had a terrific time with Cindy. Our son and his wife moved to New York City four months ago. When we visit, we try to discover new parts of the city together. They did not know of Chelsea Market, it will now be a new favorite shopping and eating destination. We identified several restaurants we want to try in the future and loved learning the history of the meatpacking district. |

| Great tour, great guide, great food!! It was a birthday present to my daughter and loved it as much as I did. I had done the Greenwich Village tour before and thought it couldn't be topped but alas it was as great as the first!! Kurt was our very knowledgeable and fun guide! I recommend it to all. wouldn't change a thing! Thanks for a memorable day in the "big apple"!

| This tour appealed to me because I hate the usual tourist scene. INstead of just seeing you were able to have an experience which is alot more memorable. I love food so this was a perfect way to spend 3 hours. |

| I enjoyed it. I thought there would be more information on the building and the combonation of the various buildings though. The history of the building is in itself very interesting. Other then that I found it very enjoyable. |

| Last year we took the Greenwich Village tour and it was so great we stayed in the Village this year. After such a great experience we wanted to do another tour this year. I had been to Chelsea Market before but never knew all the history of the building or had eaten much of the food. Staying in a hotel you don't buy that much food.
We had a great selection of wonderful food and learned how long these family business had survived there. What an uninviting area it use to be and how now it is the new 'in' place to go . We saw where those who want to be seen shop and eat l amid the old meatpacking buildings adorned with graffitti .
Our guide Kirk was full of stories and anecdotes and a real asset to the tour.
I asked him if they were going to add any more tours because if they did, we would take them. What about the other end of town?
It was a very good value for the price and you really saw the area in depth. We even visited a B&B which we may stay at next year.
My suggestion is not to even think about it - JUST DO IT! (Either tour) |

| My 23 year old daughter and I enjoyed this tour very much. Our tour guide was very fun, personable, and knowledgable about Chelsea Market and the neighborhood. He pointed out lots of interesting details that we would have missed. The food tastings were varied and enjoyable. Take this tour on an empty stomach! Will definately go back to Chelsea Market on a future visit to NYC and might even take the tour again when I return to NYC with my husband in 6 months |

| I never realized Chelsea Market could be so interesting. The guide was wonderful and the food was delicious. I've already told everyone I know to take this tour. |

| I think the tour is a great activity - especially if the weather is bad. Most of the tour was inside a building so it does not matter what the weather is like. I found the information interesting - the guide informative and entertaining - the food was excellent. Standing on concrete for long periods of time is difficult for the elderly. I wish I could have gone shopping during the tour but I understand that would prevent the tour from a time schedule. I wish some of the places could have given us coupons to use if we came back later. |
