| My husband and I loved the tour -- he liked the historical references as to the history of the building (being a train buff). It was great to see an abandoned building restored to accommodate family owned business. The food was a real treat and Curt, our guide, was knowledgeable, humorous and considerate. It was a great way to learn about the neighborhood as well. |

| This was a great tour. The guide was personable and had a great sense of humor. He knew a lot about the area and about food and dining. Everything we sampled was delicious, and we definitely did not need lunch afterward. |

| My husband and I went on the tour this past Saturday. This tour and the tour guide Cindy was one of the highlights of our visit to the City. The market in the old Nabisco facility was incredible, it was so interesting to learn the history of the building. The outdoor meatpacking part of the tour was very interesting too.
This is a tour that is definitely recommended, the food that we sampled was well worth the price of the ticket to go on the tour.
The next time I visit the city with my girlfriends, We will go on this tour even though I have been once, it is something that should not be missed. |

| I went on this tour with my husband and another couple. We are very happy we did it. We learned so much history about the building the market is located in. We were very pleased with our tour guide. She could have talked a little bit louder because of all the noise in the market, but she was very informative and had a great sense of humor. We sampled food and baked goodies that we wanted desperately to go back and purchase so we could bring stuff back home. Unfortunately we didn't have time to go back to the market, but we will definitely go back again next time we come to the big apple. You also learn alot about the Meat Packing District on this tour. I highly recommend this tour. We have also taken the Greenwich Village walking tour and we loved that one also (same company). Our bellys were very full when the tour was over. Don't hesitate on this one! |

| Our tour guide was Cindy. She was great! Very enthusiastic, friendly and full of energy. She took very good care of us and made sure everyone got samples of the food, always made sure the whole group was together, and she's very knowledgeable about the area! Give that woman a raise! :)
I've already recommended the tour to all of my friends. |

| I though the tour was ok and the tour guide was good. but there is not much in the chelsea market to see and we spend 3 hours when a half an hour would have been more than enough. I have been to better markets and the food (although good) was a bit touristy. Most of the buildings contain tv studios (which you cant get to see) and seem wasted as the building is a little quirky. My advise save the cash go down there for a quick look around by yourself and do something else for the rest of the afternoon. |

| The Chelsea market food tasting tour is definitely worth the time and money. The food samplings were delicious and delightful. Chelsea market is truly a gem full of rich history.

| Curt was our tour guide and was great. Throughout the entire tour he kept us entertained and happy. We were happier with the Greenwich Village tour last year with Cindy in the sense that the area was more interesting to us than Chelesa. Also we thought we stayed in the market longer than needed, but the food was great and again Curt kept us in sitches. I would recommended this tour but for someone taking their first tour, I would recommend the Village first.

| Our guide Kurt was excellent. He was very knowledgeable about the area and about food. He was enthusiastic and funny. He made the trip. I think we stayed in one place, the chelsea Market a little too long. It would have been nice to sample restaurants outside the market also. It would have been nice to sample some of the wine in the wine store. I felt the trip lasted the right length but there was too much of it in the Chelsea Market itself although it was interesting what they have done with the building. Since they do so much tv there, it would have been nice to have at least a view of the Food Channel. On the whole it gave a great overview of the area. I still think the best part of the whole trip was Kurt. |
