    Curt excelled as our guide through Chelsea Market and Pier 57. His insights into the neighborhood, local history, and regional cuisine were captivating. My personal favorites were the biscuits at Sarabeth’s, Saxelby’s cheese, and Dickson’s brisket. With a blend of intelligence, humor, and enthusiasm, Curt truly embodies the spirit of the area. The three-hour tour flew by, leaving us eager for more.

    Curt was very knowledgeable and personable. Even though it was colder and rainy/snow mix we hit all the locations on the itinerary and was an excellent tour guide. He was very enthusiastic and mindful of taking photos of us. It was more than worth it and a memorable experience.

    I don’t know how the tour would have been as it was cancelled due to host illness I did go on my own and at least was able to see Chelsea. Would have wanted to know where meatpackimg district is.

    Good morning Laura, I greatly appreciate your leaving a review. I do again apologize that the Guide scheduled for that morning was unfortunately sick with the flu. I did not like having to cancel, and I offered ways for you to rebook. I also offered you a discount and gave a full refund. I’ve done everything I could,. Unfortunately, Guides sometimes get sick I ask you to please remove this one star review as It severely damages the company, Thank you for your consideration and again thank you for leaving to review. Kind regards.

    A great morning
