| We loved the Chelsea Market/Meat Packing District Food Tour. Bob was full of
information and tips. It was so interesting and the food samples were generous and delicious. We would certainly recommend this tour to anyone. |

Lots of food, vegetarian/food allergy friendly!

| With Bob as our tour guide, my group (consisting of my parents and myself), had an excellent time, learned a lot and most importantly, ate lots of food! Being a vegetarian with an allergy to nuts, I was leary at first of being able to participate in all the food tastings. When I purchased the tickets I was suprised to be asked if there were any vegetarians or members with food allergies. The tour guide did a wonderful job of providing me with multiple alternative tastings along the way, all meat and nut free!
I was a little disappointed that we did not get a chance to learn more about each food establishment, see how the food was made or speak to any of the owners. I know that time was an issue, especially because we were doing both chelsea market and the meat packing district, and also not many owners are around on the weekend. It could be a great idea for the future to have a week day tour of just chelsea market that became more exstensive and behind the scenes at the various shops.
Overall, both my parents and I had a great time. I can't wait to get back to Chelsea market with my boyfriend and friends, now that I know what fabulous things it has to offer! |

| As visitors to NYC this tour was a great way to discover a new area, and good shops and restaurants. The food tasting was really good too! The guide was really friendly and the group small enough to feel one got personal attention. |

| We reluctantly tore ourselves away from the designer show rooms to take this tour we had signed up for weeks in advance. Not sure we wanted to go. But.... it was definitely worth it. We loved our energetic and informative guide and the time flew by. Food was great, guide was fabulous. I am recommending this to family and friends. Thanks! |
