| This is a great tour! The guide was pleasant and extremely knowledgeable, and gave lots of interesting factoids about the places we visited. The food is AMAZING and you are definitely full when you leave. It's definitely a PG-13 tour given the area's history, but the racy bits are fun. Would definitely do this again with friends from out of town. |

| We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable of the interesting history of the Chelsea Market, and we were able to sample very fresh and delicious food. One of our favorite activities that we did in the city! I would recommend this tour to anyone who loves food. |

| Our family had the good fortune to experience the Greenwich Village Tour several years ago during a freak blizzard in March. The intrepid guide and the group soldiered on through the blinding snow for three hours. Although completely frozen, we thoroughly enjoyed the tour and loved the guide with his interesting stories, remembered long afterwards. So, we enthusiastically signed up for the Chelsea Market Tour for our trip to NYC this August. The day of our tour dawned a stiffling 98 degrees!! We decided that it was our family's fate to go on Food Tours during extreme weather conditions. But once again, the tour was worth withstanding the blazing heat. Our guide was a wealth of knowledge, and we sampled wonderful treats. We would do it again--maybe next time during a typhoon. |

| My daughters from TX and MO (ages 27 and 29 ) and I met in NYC for a week of shows, shopping, and sightseeing. This tour was absolutely one of our very favorite things! We're telling all of our friends that it's a MUST for their next trip to Manhattan. Wendy was our tour guide and she was AMAZING!!! She was so knowledgable and funny too! The history and stories of the place and her own life growing up in the area were fantastic. We just couldn't get enough. We'll be returning next summer and plan to take another one of your tours. Thanks so much!!! |

| I enjoyed this tour. I think it would have been more fun if we had spent more time outside Chelsea Market....also a bit more variety in the types of food offerred would be a good idea (fewer breads). Overall, this was an area I would never visit on my own and it was fun to see it through the eyes of someone who was very familiar with the area. |

| There are only superlatives to descirbe our 3 hour tour with Cindy. I was born and raised in NYC and always knew this area as the meat packer's district. I was impressed with the work being done to preserve it as well as the artistic view that the developers have. The food tasting was good but more importantly I enjoyed the descriptions, history and interesting tidbits about this area. I've already recommended it to several of my friends. |

| Sorry I draw a blank on our guide's name but he was fun and very entertaining. He had a great understanding about the area and history. I enthusiastically recommend the market tour itself but not necessarily the meat packing portion of it. Might have been better if the weather was not so hot. Fun day. It would be great if you were able to start other tours in the great and diverse city of New York.
