Chelsea Market/Meatpacking Dist Food Tasting Tour

This was our third food tour and we brought friends for their first tour. We're all food lovers and the Chelsea Market/Meatpacking District tour did not disappoint! Who knew that the Oreo was created right here in New York and that the High-Line existed?!? What a great way to spend an afternoon ... you'd never know that you were in Manhattan! We look forward to expanding our group for our next visit to another a new neighborhood of NYC. Our tour guide, Bob, was informative and showed a real love for his role as a tour-guide - a great ambassador of NYC. Thank you, Bob!

Our tour of the Chelsea Market and Meatpacking District took us primarily through Chelsea Market with a detailed history of the area and interesting anecdotes about the merchants- previous and current. We had an enthusiastic and animated tour guide (Darryl) who clearly enjoys interacting with people and imparting his knowledge of the area. We were a group of six (four twenty-somethings and two fifty-somethings) and all agreed that the selection of sampled foods was perfect- enough contrast in flavors and food groups to make everyone happy. This was our third walking food tour with this company which clearly indicates our satisfaction with the tours.

The Chelsea Market tour was headed up by a funny and informative tour guide (Bob) who introduced us to a section of NYC that we had never considered visiting but will certainly return to in the near future. Loved the short walk on the Highline, the historical tidbits, humorous stories and the food, glorious food!! Our friends loved the experience and have already told other friends to take a tour. Worth every penny! Looking forward to the next one.

Will go on other tours with your firm next time we come to NYC.

everyone in our group loved this tour. I would never have imagined there was so much to see and experience inside this location. We enjoyed the food and will definitely come back to visit each vendor, our only issue was that the market closed too early for us to return on Sunday!

We really enjoyed our Chelsea Food tour. The tour is primarily indoors which makes it great when weather can be an issue. The Chelsea Market is a bustling, wonderful place that really packs the people in on a Sunday! The history of the area and the history of the building was fascinating as well. Our tour guide, Diana, was knowledgeable but I wouldn't describe her as personable. She was all business which was a little off-putting plus some of the information she shared about the area was TMI. Otherwise, the tour and the food tasting was 5 stars all the way!

The Chelsea Market tour was lots of fun and very interesting. Diana was a great guide who had a lot of funny stories of how the Market came to be; and it's not as old as you would think! If you have always heard of Chelsea Market but didn't actually know what it is, you must do this tour.

The tour leader was very informative and the variety of places we visited were enjoyed by everyone in my group. I would highly recommend this tour and will book another food tasting tour the next time I'm in NY.

My wife and I really enjoyed it. Our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We learned a lot about the history of the market and the meatpacking district. The tasting were great. Also liked the fact we were able to go inside of Del Posto and Morimoto.

I was looking for a fun birthday activity for a friend who is a self-proclaimed "foodie". The tour was perfect in all ways...the food was delicious, the guide (Darryl) was charmingly informative and entertaining, and the history of the area was very interesting. We visited a wide variety of venues and tasted a little bit of everything...seafood chowder, baked goods, sweets, pasta, antipasto selections, dairy, etc. We toured the interior of the market but were lucky to venture outside as well and tour a bit of the neighborhood, a local restaurant and the HIgh Line. We shopped along the way and went home with some terrific bread, cheese, olive oil and kitchen gadgets. It was a fantastic day...a creative spin on taking a friend to lunch for her birthday!
