| We took this tour having already done Greenich Village and SoHo in the past but with no idea of the Chelsea Area or the Meat Packing districts. We had an outstanding guide, Daryl. Our group had never been in this area. We loved the history and the tastings. We were very impressed. Dinner that evening became Postos. An additional place our guide brought us. We ordered the tasting dinner. We also returned to the Chelsea Market after the tour and shopped. Who would have believed, this is the future fashion area. The designers are moving in!!!! Highly recommend this tour. |

| We were entertained by our clever, witty, food knowledgeable, guide Kurt. He made the tour!
The food information and tastings were very good and I would not have ventured into the Chelsea Market area if I had not signed up for the tour, so I was glad that I did.
I took the Greenwich Tour 2 years ago and really enjoyed it because it included not only the food but history of the area and architecture as well. It was a cold day for our Chelsea tour so we were inside for 2 +hours ( had to carry coat and bag) which was okay, but it was nice to walk outside and especially nice to see the inside of the B&B.
But again, Kurt was terrific. |

| Perfect tour for a stormy New York afternoon. Sam made the tour both entertaining and informative. He was quick enough to make it possible for us to see all vendors without feeling rushed. His knowledge of the building's history as well as the products being offered by the current tenants was impressive. All the vendors made us want to come back when we had more time to shop at a leisurely pace.
I would recommend the tour and Sam to others without any reservation. In addition, my wife and I are investigating the Greenwich Village tour for a subsequent visit to NY with friends. |

| Our tour guide, Curt, was so enthusiastic and informative. The 3 hour walking tour
went by too fast. Not only did we learn about the food of NY but also architecture, high cost of living in NY and neighborhood changes. We highly recommend this tour. |

| Took this tour even though Husband and kids were very doubtful. We ALL loved it. Guide Kurt (Kirk?) was full of energy and enthusiasm and answered all our questions wonderfully. Very interesting and informative tour. HUGE "samples" to taste...so don't eat before you go! Great time. Fun. Entertaining. Educational. FILLING! :) |

| We had previously done the West Village tour and were looking forward to another quality experience, but this surpassed all our expectations.
Even though it was pouring rain, we had a blast as Curt, our guide, had interesting insights and/or humorous comments about virtually everything we tasted, asked questions about or just walked by. Five minutes in, he knew everyone by name and made the tour a very personalized experience for each of us.
The food was varied, abundant and excellent. By the end, no one was thinking of lunch.
From the ritziest restaurants to the Hogs & Heifers bar, everyone knew Curt and we were welcomed onto the premises.
An entertaining way to spend a few hours. I would recommend it to anyone. |

| This was a great tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and A LOT of fun. The food tastings were great. My only criticism would be that, when we bought our tickets, we were asked about any food allergies, however, our tour guide seemed not to have been informed of our dietary issues. It wasn't a big deal though, because there was so much food available, we were able to work around it. |

| I took the Chelsea Market tour with my daughter-in-law and we both really enjoyed it. The food sampling was great and filling. No need for lunch although we did return to the market for some take home items of the food we sampled. Curt (with a C), our guide, was knowledgeable as well as entertaining! We learned some fun and fascinating history of the area on our walking portion of the tour as well as some great ideas for dining. I would highly recommend this to anyone visiting NYC. I am coming back in the summer and will defiantly do another food tour....a great way to get a "taste" of the city! |

| I HAD A GREAT TIME! WE SAW A NEW PART OF THE CITY. EVEN THOUGH I LIVED IN NYC FOR A LONG TIME, IT WAS BEFORE THIS AREA WAS "ACCESSIBLE". I ENJOYED THE TASTY TREATS AND BOUGHT A LOT OF FOOD GIFTS. I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANY ADULT INTERESTED IN LEARNING ABOUT THIS AREA AND WILLING TO WALK FOR FOOD!!! |
