| I really enjoyed the tour. Cindy was an enthusiastic guide who gave us lots of shopping tips on where to get the best deals. You could tell she really enjoyed being a New Yorker and was very proud of her city. It was interesting to learn about the history of the area and the changes that have taken place in the neighborhood the last few years. The food samples were fabulous and filling. |

| My husband and I were visiting NYC (and our son who is interning at NYU this summer) for four short days. Trying to accomplish as much as possible in a short amount of time, and to do something with our son that he hadn't tried in the city yet; we stumbled upon the website for your tour of Chelsea Market & the Meat-Packing district. I have never booked a tour online before and was somewhat worried about doing so. I shouldn't have worried. My husband, son, and I all loved it and wished there were more tours like it. We learned a lot of "stuff" from Cindy our guide. And the food was wonderful. Our son is living near NYU but said he will definitely get a group together and come over and shop at Chelsea Market. Thanks for a wonderful Sun. activity. |

| What an interesting tour and the tour guide (C/Kurt) was a good part of what made the tour interesting and very enjoyable. Just the right sense of humor to lead and herd us around the building and the neighborhood telling us about the history and the present.
I recommended this tour to the relatives that live in the area... both because they love food and because they love learning about NYC. |

| On a previous visit I had very much enjoyed your Greenwich Village tour and couldn't wait to take the Chelsea/Meatpacking tour my next visit. I loved it! Kurt was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable but in a natural way, it didn't sound like he was just reciting a script. I never would have known about the Chelsea Market had I not taken the tour and it's definitely a place I will return. The food was delicious! Thanks! |

| I have been to New York on many occassions and this is the first visit I made to Chelsea Market. What a gem.!!!! I will definitely be back as I am only a couple hours away. This was actually my first time driving into the city instead of taking the train and it was very easy to get to, plus affordable parking was an extra perk. Our guide, Wendy, was a real treasure. Knowledgeable, personable, in charge. We will definitely return for other tours. Time frame was just enough. Anything involving food is always great. My only potential negative comment is that I would have preferred a smaller group, 8 to 10 would be perfect. Other than that everyone in my group raved about the experience. Keep up the great work. Would love to see other tours added. We are already planning for the Greenwich Village tour. Thanks Again. |

| This was my second tour with the same company. I enjoyed it the first time so much that I decided to take my husband and another couple on the tour.
The guide we had was even better than the first one. I think his name was Kirk (?) and he provided so much information, pictures and fun! We all found the history of the market so interesting and, of course, enjoyed the tastings provided. We went back and purchased some items from the various stores and had a snack at one of the restaurants he took us into.
To sum up - a wonderful experience. I now plan on taking the same group to the Greenwich Village Tour. |
