| My husband and I went on the tour this past Saturday. This tour and the tour guide Cindy was one of the highlights of our visit to the City. The market in the old Nabisco facility was incredible, it was so interesting to learn the history of the building. The outdoor meatpacking part of the tour was very interesting too.
This is a tour that is definitely recommended, the food that we sampled was well worth the price of the ticket to go on the tour.
The next time I visit the city with my girlfriends, We will go on this tour even though I have been once, it is something that should not be missed. |

| I went on this tour with my husband and another couple. We are very happy we did it. We learned so much history about the building the market is located in. We were very pleased with our tour guide. She could have talked a little bit louder because of all the noise in the market, but she was very informative and had a great sense of humor. We sampled food and baked goodies that we wanted desperately to go back and purchase so we could bring stuff back home. Unfortunately we didn't have time to go back to the market, but we will definitely go back again next time we come to the big apple. You also learn alot about the Meat Packing District on this tour. I highly recommend this tour. We have also taken the Greenwich Village walking tour and we loved that one also (same company). Our bellys were very full when the tour was over. Don't hesitate on this one! |

| Our tour guide was Cindy. She was great! Very enthusiastic, friendly and full of energy. She took very good care of us and made sure everyone got samples of the food, always made sure the whole group was together, and she's very knowledgeable about the area! Give that woman a raise! :)
I've already recommended the tour to all of my friends. |

| seven of us..........three childhood friends with their four grown daughters enjoyed a bonding experience and thought the tour was absolutely great. Though the mothers had all been to Chelsea Market only a year ago, we were expecting a little disappointment in seeing the same place twice.. We said we were going for the daughters. Were we ever surprised at how much we learned and how much we saw that we had never seen the first time. The guide was personable, funny, very knowledgable. VERY KNOWLEDGABLE. We would all do it again in a heart beat and we loved all the exercise we got from walking. The meat packing district was equally as great.DId we mention the food? The tastings were so delicious. We would all highly recommend the tour. Take the Greenwich Village tour also......you won't be disappointed. |

| The Chelsea market food tasting tour is definitely worth the time and money. The food samplings were delicious and delightful. Chelsea market is truly a gem full of rich history.

| Our guide Kurt was excellent. He was very knowledgeable about the area and about food. He was enthusiastic and funny. He made the trip. I think we stayed in one place, the chelsea Market a little too long. It would have been nice to sample restaurants outside the market also. It would have been nice to sample some of the wine in the wine store. I felt the trip lasted the right length but there was too much of it in the Chelsea Market itself although it was interesting what they have done with the building. Since they do so much tv there, it would have been nice to have at least a view of the Food Channel. On the whole it gave a great overview of the area. I still think the best part of the whole trip was Kurt. |

| Our leader, Kurt, was well informed, organized, and had a good, spontaneous sense of humor.
The food was plentiful, and for the most part, delicious. i never knew there were so many kinds of salt.
Our walk through the meatpacking district was informative and well presented, especially, the biker's bar.
My friend and I had a wonderful time, and are looking forward to the Greenwich Village tour. |
