| My husband and I loved the Chelsea Market/Meatpacking District tour. It combines two activies we enjoy - eating and learning about new areas. Even though I lived in New York for several years, it was still interesting to find out the history of some of these artisinal shops and get to taste the food. I would highly recommend this tour to others - both local and out-of-towners. |

| Fun and interesting - Darryl was a great tour guide and made us aware of many architectural details (very cool), history, and future plans for the Chelsea market and surrounding neighborhood. Food was excellent and plentiful.

| We can't decide. We did the Village walk in January with Curt and then the Meatpackers with Darrell. Both were wonderful and if that was only Darrells second tour he is going to be great. The information and of course the food was wonderful.
Many thanks

| I believe Cindy was our guide. She is a wealth of knowledge - not just about the restaurants we toured and tasted, but also about the area, the people, the architecture and the businesses. I really enjoyed the tour. All the samples more than made up a meal. I did return to do some light shopping and snacking later.
I will recommend it to friends for sure.
Probably the most unique part of the tour was the salt tasting. I never gave it much thought before. I myself would have prefered more chocolate to the salt, but it was still very informative. |

| I participated in this tour with three friends and we were all delighted with the afternoon. Curt, our tour guide was exceptional and we would love to take another tour with him, perhaps the Greenwich Village tour. The tastings were more than plentiful and very tasty. The background information and history was very interesting and the overall day was one we would all recommend to anyone. |

| Excellent way to experience the neighborhood - learn details that would otherwise be overlooked or not readily known. The tour guide was exceptional - humorous, very knowledgeable and passionate about the City. The food was to die for - especially the twice baked chocolate almond croissants. We learned a lot about the history of the Nabisco building and the vendors who now occupy it - how they came to be located there, etc. Our walk through the streets of the meat packing district was fascinating. Our tourguide provided photos of how it appeared in the old days so we could compare it with the way it looks now. Lots of interesting tidbits both historical and cultural. The tour leaves you feeling like a native. |

| I enjoyed the tour tremendously but prefer the Greewich tour which was more of an outdoor tour. The tour guide, Kirk or Kurt, was absolutely wonderful. I enjoyed everything we did and saw, but would have liked to walk around outside some more (perhaps drop gelato and salt stops). |

| We chose to celebrate our daughter's sweet 16 and surprised her and took several of her friends and some older friends of the family in the tour and everyone had a great time. The tour guide was caring, informative and funny. The food was spectacular and we went back afterward and purchaced the food to bring home. We all would recommend this tour to anyone and freel it is a great way to celebrate New York and a special day. |
