| This was a wonderful way to spend a Sunday! I moved to NYC several months ago but had not been to Chelsea Market. I will now go back on my own, but will be sad not to get "free" treats. The food was all delicious and a great variety was offered. The tour guide, Samson, was new but still confident and knowledgeable. As a real "foodie," I wish we had learned more about the process of making the food or the ingredients of some of it. Would have been good to talk the bakers/chefs/etc. instead of just hearing from the guide. Nonetheless, a great experience. I'll definitely do the other FoodTours experiences, as well! |

| The tour was excellent. Our guide was Sampson and he was both knowledgeable and very informative. The samples in some places lacked quantity of samples but overall it was an enjoyable experience We would recomend to others |

| This experience far exceeded our expectations! It was outstanding! We could not stop talking about what a great experience it was - a true highlight of our visit to NYC!
Chelsea market is an amazing place!! We had no idea how great it is.
Curt, our tour guide, was the best! He was very informative and entertaining and helped make our tour a most memorable experience. The samples were delicious and generous in size! Don't miss this experience the next time you go to NYC!! |

| My husband and I had toured Chelsea Market 18 months ago and enjoyed it so much that we invited friends to join us for our second visit. They just kept repeating, "How fun is this!" at each and every stop. Our tour guide, Darrell (sp?), was fun and informative and we ended up friends. The market itself was, again, clean, attractive and inviting. The "tastings" were delicious at every stop. We will definitely visit again. |

| Sampson was a very entertaining guide. He knew the history of the area very well and made the tour very worthwhile. This is a way of learning about a different part of the city and tasting some very good foods as well. You will visit some very famous locations on the tour. We will definitely be going back to the Chelsea Market on our next trip back to New York. |

| Curt, our guide, was fun, knowledgable, engaging. The market tastings were fantastic. Curt went out of his way to give us an insider's view of the neighborhood, introducing us to several market and neighborhood characters. We loved it. In our group were two New Yorkers, one who has lived here for many years, and one visitor from Md. Even the seasoned New Yorker learned things she did not know. This was my second food tasting with this company. The first tour of the West Village was wonderful also. I heartily recommend Food Tours of NY. |
