| This tour was very interesting and engaging! The various facets of Chelsea Market and the history behind its development were all fascinating. There were ample opportunities to sample food and drink from the numerous establishments on the tour. The pasta at Macellaria, the cookie from Eleni's, the chocolate milk from Ronnybrook Dairy -- delicious! The part of the tour outside of Chelsea Market was also wonderful -- all well worth it! |

| This was our second walking tour with your company. Chelsea Market was very neat, loved hearing about the area and the food was GREAT. We had a variety of food. Our guide was very nice and knowledgeable about the area. He amazed me how he continued to remember everyones name. He keep the conversations going and was very energetic and exciting! He did a great job. I would really recommend this tour to everyone. Looking forward to the next time we are in NYC! |

| Hi,
I live in Chelsea and my brother and sister were in town visiting so I decided to take the tour. It was a great experience for them and for me! We all learned a lot. I've lived in the neighborhood for about two years and didn't know about 1/8 of the things that in the tour were told! I highly recommend this tour to tourists and also to locals who want to enrich themselves with fun facts of the city that they live in. Curt, our tour guide, was AWESOME!
Cheers! |

| We thoroughly enjoyed our tour through the Chelsea Market and the Meatpacking District. Our guide was very entertaining, and knowledgeable. We had samples to enjoy along the way and enough venues to keep the tour interesting. |

| Green Village was my first choice, however, I think this is better tour for me.
I won't go in deep Chelsea Market since only few info and limited day in my NY trip. Me,from Taiwan, and my friend, who came from the UK, had great time. We even changed our itinerary to visit Chelsea dis again. We had inexpensive oyster in lobster place and a great dinner in Pastis, the recommonded French bistro. It's really worth to participate if you want to experience some local taste. ^_^ |

| Who doesn't enjoy learning something about where they live, or used to live and get to sample culinary tidbits from choice businesses? As an ex-native of the city, revisitng with a friend and taking the Chelsea/Meatpacking Tour was infomative and well worth the few hours of walking around the area. Our guide (not a native) was up to date with his information and obviously a keen and knowledgeable citizen of the city and it's history. We especially enjoyed the less known destinations (rooftop pool and bar of a local hotel) and hints on where to shop. Although the price seems a bit high for a walking tour, the food easily made up for the price.
We both agreed to try out the other tours on our next visits, and highly recommend this tour. What a great way to spend an afternoon. |

| I enjoyed this tour so much the first time I went (as part of a professional meeting), I took friends with me a second time. Chelsea Market is a unique retailing concept and the tasting tour gives the consumer great insight that they wouldn't otherwise get. The tour guide is knowledgable, has good stories, and is effective in maximizing the customer experience. The tour is a little pricey, but it will replace one or two meals for the day making it a worthwhile expenditure. You will not leave hungry - you will be making plans to return for lunch on another day! If I were asked ways to improve, I would edit the tour of the Meat Packing District some; that third hour is hard - interesting, but tiring! |

| I really enjoyed this tour. We got to see so much in one area and learn about the culture and history. The food...what can say, it was delicious and non-stop. The samping was not skimpy! I can't wait to try another tour. My tour guide was really funny and he made it all that much for fun. The food was great but it wouldn't be a tour without him! |

| My daughter bought my wife and I tickets for this tour. She works in a building across from the Chelsea Mkt. It was a great tour- loved the food and the information. |
