| Great food and interesting information about the place. The only recommendation I would make is to allow for some selection of choices by the audience. Ice cream instead of milk would have been a nice choice for those that don't drink milk. But overall great time. |

| This was an amazing and informative tour!! I am a food engineer and a bit of a foodie and wanted to see this other side of NY on a weekend trip from Texas. With my travel alarm clock still on Central Time, our day got off to a bad start-- we thought we were 30 min early for our tour, but ended up 30 min LATE! After a near divorce on the streets of Manhattan we ran into the market looking for our group. Not only were they exactly where the instructions said-- the tour guide had saved us 2 cookies from the first tour stop we missed!!! Needless to say, the tour continued with great food stops, snacks and insights. Even my guy (who was a solo male in a group of 10 women!) was impressed. Thanks to Cindy for being a wonderful, enthusiastic guide- and for saving our day! |

| My husband and I spent 3 facinating hours touring the Cheslea Market area. We enjoyed the tastes of the local vendors, and enjoyed the description of the history and progress of this area of NYC. We would recommend this tour to all of our friends. |

| The Chelsea Market Tour was a wonderful introduction to this diverse, and cutting edge food haven. Both myself and my cousin John, with his wife Josephine came away with a better sense of what the market can offer.
Our guide was fantastic. Humor, wit, and an sense of adventure made the experience very rewarding. We also enjoyed the extra effort to take us to the rooftop penthouse of a local hotel to allow us to have a better perspective of the area.
This is the second year in a row I have taken a tour on my vacation time, and would recommend it to all. |

| The tour was a lot of fun, and our guide, Darrell from Texas, was cute, funny, and a pleasure to spend 3 hours with! He was sensitive to the differences in the group - one 12 year old with mom and dad, a group of 20+s, and a trio of couples. The tastings were delicious and Darrell had plenty of interesting info to fill the times when our mouths were full. Really fun. Will definitely do another Food Tour. |

| I was so impressed by the Foods of NY Tour! At first, I wasn't sure if it was going to be too "touristy" but as a local, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I learned! Awesome tour guide too! Keep up the great work! |

| My husband and I enjoyed our Chelsea / Meatpacking tour very much. We have been to NYC many times but had never ventured to this particular area so decided that eating our way around would be ideal! We saw a variety of shops, restaurants and hotels and learned about the history of the area from our guide Kurt. The food samplings were delicious and the average person would require no lunch after. My husband says that his cookie from Eleni's was the best ever! Kurt is a fabulous tour guide and really made the tour informative and entertaining. One small thing - if you accept a drink in the Hogs & Heifers be prepared to pay...this is not part of the free samplings. We look forward to returning next year and signing up for the Greenwich Village tour! |
