| Our female tour guide was enthusiastic and took great care of us, as we sampled a good-sized portion of samplings to taste during our tour. It was nice to also have places to sit down during our tastings; the tour is well-organized. It was great to learn some of history behind the founding of Chelsea Market and the Nabisco Company that once inhabited it and now the vendors who do today.
Although I really enjoyed walking around the market, it would have also been nice to have gone outside of the building and spend maybe an hour or so exploring places in the local neighborhood (like the Red Cat restaurant, if it wasn't too far.) Overall the tour is a pleasant experience. Plus, the final stop on the tour is a short walk go back to the market to eat or shop at or just walk around for second time. |

| We really enjoyed our tour! Our guide Cindy was very funny, keeping an accurate head count, passing out water, and making sure that we were comfortable. She was very knowledgeable about the area and appeared to really enjoy sharing information about her neighborhood. We plan on returning to the Meatpacking district and are considering taking other tours. |

| My son lives in Queens and works in Manhatten and was not aware of the Chelsea
Market. I booked the tour for us on line before coming to visit him. We all enjoyed the food, the history, the artwork. He said he will be back on a regular basis to make purchases and is looking forward to taking his girlfriend on the Sushi tour. |

| The tour enlightened us to a part of NYC that we might not have seen otherwise! Our guide, Bob, was very interesting and very knowledgable about the area. We enjoyed learning about the history of the area and especially enjoyed the wonderful tastings! |

| We've been to NYC numerous times and taken the standard local tours. This puts those to shame. I Would highly recommend it, particularly for those, like us, who have a general knowledge of New York City, but who wish to "drill down" to find the real NY - and who have a love of great food! |

| I had a great time! I learned a lot about about the history of the market as well as the surrounding area. The food was awesome, and I liked that we did all the food stops first, then walked around the neighborhood. Our tour guide Bob was very personable, and did a great job. He provided a lot of information, answered everyone's questions, and even went a half hour longer than advertised! A great way to spend an afternoon in New York. |

| I would highly recommend this tour to anyone - well worth the price. The sampling of foods was delicious and the history and sites on the tour were fascinating - Chelsea and the Meatpacking District are now my favorite places in the city. The tour would have not been the same without our guide Curt - he was awesome. So full of knowledge about the area and its history, warm personality and a great sense of humor - just added a whole new level to the tour. We can't wait to take the other tours in the Spring and just hope our guides are as great as Curt! |

| Chelsea Market and Meatpacking District was brought to life by our very enthusiastic and very knowledgeable tour guide, Curt. We learned so much about the area and ate and enjoyed a wide range of delicious food. We definitely will do another tour when we return to NYC! |
