| The tour was fantastic. Our tour guide, Curt, was so energetic and knowledgeable that he made this a real fun and tasty experience. He generated such positive energy that made the afternoon fly by. I would definitely encourage all my friends to participate. Thanks for the experience. |

| It was a great tour and I would absolutely book it again. The only negative I can say is that I really did not need to walk thru the restaurants just to see them. At the end of our tour, we walked through about 4-5 restaurants and walked thru a hotel. I could have done without that part. The tour was very informative and enjoyable. Our tour concluded at a hotel a few blocks from Chelsea market. I think it would have been better to end at the market. We were on a time crunch and weren't able to go back to the market to shop at the end of our tour. Will recommend to anyone I hear who is going to NYC. |

| Daryl was a great host - the tour was okay. No dig deal to see the hotels, but the outdoor walk was nice. Would have been nice to have a tea break out there, less crowded. |

| After seeing Emeril trot on down to the Chelsea market for the umpteenth time, I could no longer resist having a look around. Found out about this tour online, hey why not? Nice way to pass an afternoon. Cindy was our guide, lots of fun and very savvy. Went back to the Market afterwards to shop for restaurant quality fruit, veg, meat, fish, dairy (don't miss Ronnybrook Farms - creamline milk - yum), desserts. This market has it all. Enjoy! I recommend bringing an insulated bag (mine came in handy). I'll be back. |

| I took my mom to this as a belated Christmas gift. I'm really glad we waited till summer because it was a beautiful day to walk around. The guide, Bob, was very knowledgable and friendly. The food was delicious, and I learned a lot. We are locals, so it was a slighly different experience for us. I knew a lot about the vendors in the market, but didn't know that much about the specifics in the Meatpacking District. My only qualm is that when I made the reservation, whoever took my reservation for the tour didn't ask if I had any dietary restrictions. I don't eat red meat, and there was quite a bit of it on the tour. Not a ton, but I missed a tasting or two because of it. Bob said they could have worked with it if they had been told. |

| Concept for tours is a great idea: food snacks plus history.
Hope you expand to other areas: hell's kirtchen, upper east side, upper west side, broadway (probably longer and more history, etc. You might have a problem getting 5757,Picholine, Four Seasons, Beacon,etc. to buy in, but - hey - they are interested in tourist business, too. I'll be back next year. |

| This was a great tour! We learned a lot about the area and the local restaurants, markets, and stores and went back the next day to visit many of them again! Kurt was a great guide and the whole tour was interesting and fun! |

| I would highly recommend this food tasting/walking tour. We had a great tour guide who was very knowledgable of the area history and people, the shops, restaurants, etc. Had many interesting, fun anecdotes and stories to share. He helped us get to know each other so we were like new friends touring together. Also made suggestions for enjoying the area after the tour and shared restaurant/entertainment ideas and tips. Visited almost 20 places and sampled their specialties. Lots of variety. Definitely all one would want/need for lunch and then some. A great value and terrific way to see the MP and Chelsea district and even a bit of the west village. Pace was very good. Just the right amount of walking. Chance to sit a bit for those with leg/back problems. Everyone from a young mom with kids, singles, a ladies group, mother & daughter, young and elder couples thoroughly enjoyed experiencing this tour together. Something for everyone. Looking forward to doing one of the Village tours on our next NYC trip! I'll be sure to take my husband along next time. He'll love it! |

| I would highly recommend this tour for visitors and locals. The information about the architecture of the Market and history of the Chelsea area was as good as the food. Our guide was very entertaining. I've returned to Chelsea regularly for shopping since my tour. |
