| A group of friends and I took the tour last Saturday and had a great time! Our tour guide Curt was the best. Even though I'm sure he has given this tour many times, he made it seem fresh and new. I loved his sense of humor. This is a great thing to do if your looking for something a little different than the typical "tourist" stuff. I would highly recommend it! |

| I learned so much about the Chelsea Marketplace. I had never been there. What a great place to be...the food, the shopping, the history...it's got it all! Our tour guide was very informative and funny. My mother and I enjoyed this tour. I can't wait to bring other visitors to this unique place. |

| we all really enjoyed ourselves. It was great value for money and I would happily reccomend it to other friends of mine visiting from out of town.The Chelsea market tour was the highlight though it got a bit lost walking through the meatpacking district - perhaps you should include a drink in one of the restuarants to bring it a little more to life. Other than that it was really great and I thought the guide was excellent. |

| What a fantastic way to discover a part of downtown NYC where the locals gravitate! This part of the City has a life and energy unto itself. We can't wait to return and see the new changes taking place. |

| Good tour and excellent guide. Most of the time was spent in the Chelsea Market, a place I wouldn't have necessarily known about had I not taken the tour. The tastings were tremendous, however, they were a little "dessert heavy." I would have preferred more tastings that offered more choices in food. The best tasting was the salt tasting - I never knew that salt could be so varied. The tour guide's knowledge of the area was top notch - I especially enjoyed getting to know more about the meat packing history and the initiative to save the skyway. This is the best tour if it is raining outside since most of the time is spent inside the Chelsea Market. |

| I purchased this tour due to wife's love of the Food Network and the Chelsea Market area. I was a little worried it may be drab and boring. I was pleasantly surprised. Our guide was enthusiastic, informative, and entertaining. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone. |

| Everything we tasted was fabulous, and I must commend our tour guide Cindy for making the tour an entertaining one. I've already recommended the tour to friends & co-workers who plan to head into NYC. I plan to schedule one of the other locations very soon. This is definitely worth it and a great thing for all foodies!! Thanks. |

| My husband and I toured Chelsea Market last Saturday and had a great experience. The tour took place primarily on the first floor of Chelsea Market, and then we walked around a bit in the neighborhood (but all the tastings were in CM). Our guide Darryl shared fun and interesting facts, just the right amount to keep us entertained. We never felt rushed and truly got to enjoy this culinary experience. The tastings included: chocolate croissants, spreadable fruit on biscuits, various sea salts, chocolates, seafood bisques, whole grain bread, deli meat, olives, pepperoni, blueberry lemonade, cheese, chocolate milk and coffee flavored milk. I might be leaving something out. If you are a picky eater, this tour is not for you. Though the advertisement said most people don't need to eat after the tour, we were still hungry and grabbed a slice of pizza afterward. All in all, a great way to spend a half day in NYC. |

| My parents were in town visiting me from Michigan so I arranged for us to take this tour. We took the train in from New Canaan, CT and spent 3 great hours with our tour guide Kurt. Not only was the tour informative, the food samples delicious but Kurt's personality really made the tour memorable! My parents had a great time and especially loved that Kurt took us to his friend's brownstone and they got to see her secret garden. It was a side of New York that you would not expect and not usually get a chance to see. I have recommended this tour to several people already and will continue to do so! |

| I would not have known Chelsea Market was even there if it had not been for this tour, and it is a beautiful, interesting place. I would prefer to have more samples of unusual foods, and history of the foods/chefs of NYC, but overall, the tour was interesting. |
