| This was a pleasant surrpise for my friends & I. The shopping mall was filled with a good variety of eateries & shops but what made it unique was learning the history on how the mall came to be. The 3 hr tour passed quickly & we were sad to leave the tour and our guide, Bob, who was extremely informative & witty. I highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in food & a little history. |

| A highlight of our recent trip to New York was a tour of the Chelsea Market . We enjoyed hearing about the changes that had taken place in the meatpacking district in recent years and the creation of the Chelsea Market.
The tour was well planned and carried out. The tastings gave us good variety and our guide was very knowledgeable. He gave a great deal of information in a nice, relaxed way. Food, stores, restaurants, history - he covered it all and yet we never felt rushed. We were able to ask questions and we had confidence in his answers.
Other members of the group proved to be pleasant and easy to get along with, making the whole experience one to remember and recommend.
Thank you for a really enjoyable afternoon. |

| My husband and I took Bob's tour of Chelsea Market and the Meatpacking district and enjoyed it immensely. In addition to the great history lesson, we loved all of the food we sampled and were surprised at the generous portions. Do not miss the Lobster Place...great soup! |

| I have been on the Greenwich Village tour (4 years ago) as well as the Chelsea Market tour (this weekend) and they are both thorough, entertaining and interesting. Both of our tour guides were very knowledgeable and funny- and everyone in the group was impressed.
What I thought was exceptional, one member of the group was allergic to shellfish, so when we were at the Lobster place, they gave him a nice loaf of artesian bread. Another guest was a vegan, so she received eggplant parm in place of some meat samples. This was very courteous on their part and well planned- as the host was ready with the food substitutions and presented them when the group was eating the scheduled samples.
This is a great way to see the city and to learn about its history and I highly recommend this company's tours. |

| It was truly the most exciting and different tour in NY in the long time. The guide (Kirk) who was a comedian and a waiter before this job did an amazing job: knowledgable, funny, witty, fast, personal, enthusiastic and intellegent.
The history of Chelsea and the development of the area is quite educational.
The stores and the products in Chelsea Market are of the highest quality and calibre.
We would like to visit the place again along with some of the local restaurants.
Thank you very much for a job well done!

| I learned alot about the area that I did not know. The guide showed us things that you did not see if you were to just walk thru. The history of some of the pieces in the market was very interesting to learn about. The food was incrediable. |
