| The overall food tour was very good. Our instructor was very knowledgable and informative. I was traveling with my 70 year old mother would enjoyed the tour, however she would recommend for future tours the pace slows down, just a bit; she was exhausted after the first couple of hours.
It would be my suggestion that the tour guide allows time for rest during each tasting point or allow a 15 minute break after the first couple of hours. We also noticed a couple other people (eagerly) were also winded and eventually grab a cab and left before the tour was over.
Again the attractions and the food was great. |

| My tour guide was excellent, had a lot of fun, insider tips about the Chelsea Market and the vendors we sampled. Interesting insights into the Meatpacking District area, fun facts about the various businesses, restaurants, etc in the area. Even had a celeb sighting too. It was excellent tour...all tours should aspire to be as good. |

| I planned the walking tour as part of a team outing for work. The group seemed to really enjoy the historical infomation and insights. There was definitely enough food for lunch, but I would recommend that the guide actually start with more substantive food first, rather than filling us up on sugar and salt. Overall, we enjoyed the variety of the places and sights. Going from the Chelsea market out to the meatpacking area, then a local bed and breakfast, really highlighted the complex neighborhood that is indicative of the area. Our guide was insightful and fun. |

| We were very happy and surprised at what we did and ate... the food was great! I am recommending this tour to everyone I talk to! I would have liked to have tasted something from a couple of the restaurants that we stopped in... but I can say that if we didn't walk around town... I would never have done it on my own. I feel better about it having seen it once. |

| The tour was great. The time flew by as it was filled with history, great food and good sites. Trivia about the area was interesting and it was never boring. I will reccomend anyone to this tour. I can't wait to try the others. Darryl was a great tour guide...... |

| 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. |
