| 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. |

| Enthusiastic tour guide provided us with great information and entertaining tour of the area. My friend and I have been visiting NYC area frequently of late and found this tour more helpful than reading about and touring areas on our own. The tour showed us many things in the Chelsea Market we would likely not have discovered otherwise. The tastings were great as well. We will now be sure to visit the area again as well as take similar tours in other areas. |

Not as good as the Village tour

| Expected the tour to be more like the Village tour. Disappointing that 99% of the tour was in just one building. Meatpacking portion of the tour was extremely brief and of little value. Our guide had nearly lost his voice from some activity the night before, so it became very irritating to have to strain to hear him and to constantly be told to gather in closer to him so he wouldn't have to talk louder |

| I have been on all 3 food tours and found them to be not only delicious but informative. As a regular vistitor of the city I love having the inside scoop on where to eat. The tour guides knowledge of the area's is an extra bonus. If your lucky enogh to get Kurt as your guide you will also get a great dose of humor to boot! Five Stars!!! |
