| Our group ranged in age from 11 to 50 & we all enjoyed the tour. We liked every one of our stops (food vendors and restaurants) and food. The tea store was our least favorite stop. We would've like to spend a little more time in the meatpacking district, but maybe we saw all that there was to see.
It was a unique part of NY that we wouldn't have otherwise visited or learned about. Our tour guide (Ed) was easy to hear and knowledgeable. |

| We spent 2 hours in Chelsea Markets which was too much. It could have been covered in half the time. Our tour guide (Kurt) was great, but the tour itself was just OK. |

Wonderful

| Tour guides are informative, fun, engaging and interactive.
The establishments were accomodating, appreciative and had wonderful samples.
The 3 hours flew by! The groups were small enough to be able to hear the guide and move from place to place methodically.
Really enjoyed it, would take another tour in the future. |

| Our guide Ed was upbeat and enthusiasic as well as having the expected degree of knowledge. The tour was just the right pace and the food stops truly amazing. This was certainly a highlight of our trip to New York. Having only a few days in the Big Apple we were working on a very tight schedule. the only down side being that we should have planned more time to go back to all of the stores to brows and buy of course. We did both the Chelsea Market and Greenwich Village food tasting tours and I preferred the Chelsea and my partner preferred the Greenwich - I suggest you book both, time permitting and make your own mind! |

| We really enjoyed our guide,Sam-he was funny and made us all feel comfortable-the food was just so-so with the exception of the lobster bisque-which was fabulous- also we started wiht a cookie -not a good idea-the biscuits were awful-cold and the jam was like from t he supermarket- a hot roll with some fancy butter would be a better option |

| my family (husband and 2 kids, ages 12 and 16) have done 2 other of your tours, and this one was terrific. we were pleasantly surprised, and sam did a super job in many ways:
he learned each of our names right away (that's a daunting task)
he joked around while teaching us historical facts
his enthusiasm was contagious
he was great with all types of people (my kids, the int'l tourists, and all)
he made us feel comfortable and involved in the tour -- rather than being
lectured he involved each of us with eye contact and fun questions
cant wait til you guys offer more tours of the city -- how bout harlem area? or
arthur avenue? or lower east side? or even upper east/west manhattan?
we will sign up for every one -- we find it fun, informative, and yummy!
you do a great job and thank you again to sam from sam/emily/john/ellen |

| Really enjoyable tour, full of interesting facts. What really made it, was the tour guide who was so much fun. Would highly recommend it, even our 14 year old daughter enjoyed it. |
