| Visiting a neighborhood of NYC, where people work and call home, was a treat for a tourist in a city, almost too large to comprehend. Walking through the Chelsea Market and the Meatpacking District put a human face on the City for me. Cindy, our tour guide, was energetic and knowledgeable. She seemed sincere in her affection for the area. My suggestions for improvements are two: first, to reduce the size of the group to something more intimate, maybe 12. And second, to spend less time in the Chelsea Market and more time in the Meatpacking District. In the Meatpacking District, maybe the tour could walk through one of the operating meat packing houses and go inside one of the restored buildings. |

| We very much enjoyed the day... Cindy (I think) was very entertaining and knowledgeable. I enjoy learning more about an area that I am travelling to and this truly fulfilled my needs.
One suggestion, the 4 of us were disappointed by lunch. Not because the content, that was good, but because of the build up to "preparing our feast." I would suggest she tone it down a little and mention a very nice antipasta.
Thanks for requesting feedback. |

| Very enjoyable afternoon. We had an enthusiastic tour guide who added zest to the tour. The food tastings were varied and tasty. It was a part of New York that we hadn't visited before and I would highly recommend it. |

| Our tour guide, Wendy, provided a most entertaining and informative morning of Chelsea history and food tasting to our group. I would highly recommend this event to visitors new to Chelsea and loved receiving the map and restaurant list we visited to use for my next return. The food was sensational! |

| My husband, born and raised in NYC but now living in the South, and I try to see a different part of the city each time we visit. We found this tour on the web and are so pleased we picked it. Wendy, our guide, was friendly, knowledgable, and made our day with her details of history and her warm and friendly attitude. Small group, 16 or so, made it easy to hear and for the tour to travel the area. The history and current use of the Chelsea Market, along with the great tastings along the way, made the three hours fly by. Speaking of the food - it was great!!! And, not just little samples - almost full servings of each thing. Surely didn't need to eat the rest of the day. If you are foodies like we are, treat yourself to a tour of the market (maybe even see some of the Food TV personalities!!) and the up and coming area of the City. In addition, prices at the stores are very reasonable - spices, nuts, and fruits at prices less than you can imagine and, you can find things here that are unavailable anywhere else in the City. Make a date with yourself - go on this tour and have a great time!! |

| Cindy was our tour guide - she was funny, knew the area and people around the market well!! All the food was excellent!! This is a great tour - to be able to see an up and coming district in the city before it gets too crowded! We have also taken the Greenwich tour (2X) and would recommend both tours very highly. Just wear comfortable shoes and be on your way!! Make sure you also leave time to go back and explore on your own! |
