| The three of us thoroughly enjoyed our tour and tasting experience. The guide was very personable and gave of us lots of tidbits of information. I can't wait to bring my next group of family and friends to the Chelsea Mkt./Meatpacking District Food Tasting Tour. |

| Want an out-of-the-ordinary Saturday walk? Take time to visit an interesting area with history close to home. Take the Chelsea Market walking tour. It was great fun! |

| I live in NJ and my friend is from CT. We go into the city often, but never viisted the Chelsea Market. What a fabulous tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable giving us the history of the area and buildings. She had a great sense of humor. We visited many stores in the market, got to hear a little bit about each one, then sampled some of their wares - yummy. Our favorite was the tiny onions marinated in balsamic vinegar from the Italian market. The tour also took us outside to get a feel for the neighborhood, it's history and future plans. After the tour, we all went back into the market to purchase some of the delights we sampled (I bought two jars of the onions). I recommended this tour to all my friends and coworkers. |

| Not sure what to expect-but figured at $40 what bad could happen? Arrived early---snooped around---still unsure. Bob the tour guide arrived and the fun began. Enjoyed the tasting, but really LOVED the commentary on the building and and how it morphed from an abandoned warehouse to its new life. Appreciated the neighborhood walk and although I felt really weird tromping thru the penthouse of the building down the street, it offered a great view of the Hudson River and the area.
Would love to have seen the FoodNetwork Studio.
Eagerly planning a return visit to try the other food tours and hope some other day-long treks will be added. (we headed off to Economy Candy---which is also interesting.)
Our tour guide had a very well-rounded knowledge of NYC and answered many (history) questions we had that were unrelated to Chelsea Market. |

| Curt was a great guide, very personable and extremely informative. We all Loved the croissants, and lobster bisque, seafood chowder, and Italian sampling. We had a good sampling of other foods as well. Did not leave the tour hungry. We stopped at several spots of interest for touristy sightseeing. Very enjoyable 3 hours! |

| Our guide Kurt went over and above the call of duty to give us and the rest of our group a wonderful experience. The things we saw and tasted were puctuated by the information and experience that Kurt brought to the tour.
I would definitely not only recomend the tour to anyone who is a "foodie" but I will take the tour again the next time I am in NYC!
A wonderful experience--a highlight of our week! |

| I highly recommend this tour. My husband and I loved the informative walking tour as well as the food we were able to taste. Our guide was very knowledgeable and funny. He was very attentive and experienced. This was a great way to get a taste of the city and knowledge about its history. AIt was a great way to celebrate our anniversary! |

| Our tour guide was great, the first 1 1/2 hours were perfect. Then we went outside and toured the new railroad park. That was interesting but we spent over an hour not talking about food or tasting anything. I would have preferred to spend the last half of our tour in the meat packing district and taste food in some of those restaurants. |
