| Wendy tried to be funny, unfortunately it was often at the expense of those of us in the crowd. Her comments were inappropriate at times and I would not recommend her. She was constantly nagging the group to get closer. It felt like she was herding sheep.
The food was good, but for the money, you could go to the Chelsea market and buy everything offered and more.

Do the Greenwich Village tour instead...

| We were expecting this to be great after the wonderful Greenwich village tour. Chelsea Market is smaller than I expected, and we didn't really get much more out of the tour than what we viewed for ourselves when we arrived early. But definitely go on the Greenwich Village tour - great history, insight into the area and buildings and wonderful tastings! |

| I enjoyed the tour...a bit of history off the beaten path! The tour guide was very knowledgeable and humorous. This is especially good if you have been to Manhattan before and are looking for something different. |

| I own a Manhattan timeshare and come to NY once or twice a year. We took the Greenwich Village tour last year. I love these tours because they take me out of my Timessquare comfort zone to explore other areas of the island. I loved this tour. The tour guide was great. I will return to the market.

| I picked this activity for my group of friends on the recommendation of my children's school librarian and we were not disappointed. Our guide was very informative with personality plus. Everyone agreed it was worth the time and money. |

| My brother and sisters and husband went on the Chelsea food tasting tour and were disappointed. While the tour guide was funny and informative, the tour was too long, (3hrs.) and the tasting too little. The most annoying thing about it was that you were not allowed to purchase anything in the shops until AFTERthe 3HR tour that ends down the street from the market! I don't know about you but I feel that "tourists" are basically impulse buyers and if they have to wait 2 hrs and walk a couple of blocks to go back to what they thought they wanted, most people would talk themselves out of it. I would have probably bought something in every shop we went to but as a result I bought nothing. Something to think about. |
