| Our tour guide Curt was fun and very energetic. He knew alot about the marketplace itself and his passion for the subject was clearly evident. I highly reccomend both the tour and Curt as a tour guide. |

| My mother and sister-in-law were in town visiting, so I signed us up for this tour. It was a wonderful way to spend the afternoon, and gave my sister-in-law a whole new view of New York-- she had previously only been to very touristy Times Square, etc. A great way to entertain guests if you want to show them more local flavor rather than the usual spots. I love Chelsea Market! |

| I might have found the Chelsea Market on my own - maybe - but I would not have had such a great experience visiting it. Our tour guide was fabulous - voluble, engaging, a veritable fount of information. The food was the star of the show, but all the history of the market, the "inside" gossip about famous restaurants and food personalities was titillating. I'm a big eater from way back, and I found the amount of food available from the tastings filled me to satisfaction. What's the phrase for "more than recommend" because "recommend" seems too banal for how I feel. My friends are avoiding me because if I talk about this tour one more time they're going to send me back. Hey! Wait a minute! What a great idea ... |

| This was a great tour. The last time I was in NYC I did the Greenwich Village tour (the original one) and felt like I got a much better idea of New York than Times Square and Fifth Avenue! (Not that there is anything wrong with that stuff, but there is a lot more to experience!).
The Chelsea Market has a lot of history and our dynamic tour guide was able to convey that to us in a fun and interesting manner.
About 2/3 of this tour takes place inside the Chelsa Market (which is airconditioned!) and the rest outside walking around the Meat Packing District.
Great food samplings along the way! We were very full and weren't hungry until our late supper!! Leave yourself some time before your next activity so you can go back to the Market and buy anything you sampled and might want to take home with you!
I really recommend this to anyone who wants to go home feeling more like a local than a tourist!! |

| We had a great, informative guide and really enjoyed the tour. Only complaint was visiting new expensive restaurants without getting to taste anything. |

| I'm so Glad that one of my colleagues decided to recommend this tour. My wife and I were a little skeptical at first but I'm so glad we did this tour. for the price you get so much and the history behind the Meat Packing District is amazing and makes all the restaurants come to life. The food was great the company was great and the experience was great. I totally recommend this to anyone who goes to New York and I'll be coming back very soon. |
