Our family of four (two adults, two teens) really enjoyed the tour. Our guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the area and its food stores and restaurants. All of the samples were great and it was fun getting to know a different part of the city. After the tour, we went back and did some shopping in several of the stores of Chelsea Market. We will definitely do one of the other food tours another time. |

Terrific way to spend a Saturday afternoon! |

Our guide, Samson, was great! He was entertaining and informative. My husband and I enjoyed sampling a variety of foods from the marketplace, especially since we started with dessert first. |

Cool tour, but I enjoyed the Greenwich one more |

This was our second "Foods of New York” tour, with our first being the Greenwich Village tour. While my wife and I enjoyed the tour of Chelsea Market/Meatpacking District, we both agreed we enjoyed the Greenwich tour more.
With that said, it was nice to have about 75% of the Chelsea Market/Meatpacking District tour inside (of the Chelsea Market), as the temperatures outside were pretty chilly. We were exposed to some wonderful venues within the Market, and will definitely return there on a return visit to NYC. There was such a wonderful vibe in the market with so many different shops, it was really enjoyable. We also hit Morimotto's and Del Posto, which were neat to see inside of and without the crowds and noise during normal operations. Del Posto has been on our short list of places we'd like to dine, and this tour has further bumped it up the list.
I think the things we didn't really like (as compared to the Greenwich tour) were that we didn't really get the "neighborhood" type vibe. This is probably more a product of the areas of town, and not really something that was "wrong" per say with the tour itself.
I would say that if you have to pick one and the weather is going to be decent, go with the Greenwich tour. If you're looking to do another tour and/or the weather may be a bit inclement, I'd definitely recommend the Chelsea Market/Meatpacking District tour. |

My husband and I are from North NJ and we take frequent trips to NYC for shows, dinner, museums etc. My husband was in charge of our plans for the Valentines weekend. It was not at all of what I expected, but even better. Our tour guide Sam was outstanding. He had a very friendly attitude along with helpful knowledge that educated us of places and facts. Along with this tour we got to try foods in almost every restaurant in the Chelsea Market. This was a 3 hr tour and we were both stuffed by the 1st hour. It was wonderful!
Whether you live in NYC or out of town, I recommend this tour.
We will definitely be back!! |

BEST way to see NYC! |

This tour far exceeded our already high expectations. The food we sampled, the area, the group were all excellent. Our tour guide, Kurt, was extremely knowledgeable, informative, and most of all hysterically funny! We left knowing some interesting things about the area, stuffed with great food, & laughing all afternoon. Highly recommend this for locals, not just tourists! Definitely a great outing with friends, as a gift - for any occasion! I can't wait to try the other tours! |

This was a blast!!! I am not big on tours but this tour had been suggested by a friend who had also done the tour. We had a great time, our group was terrific and our tour guide Curt was the best!!! He knew so much about the market and the neighborhood, plus he is just so entertaining! We went back to the market after the tour and picked up a few goodies to bring home. We come to NY from DC several times a year and I would definetly do this again!
I have some funny pictures of Curt with the lobsters that I would like to send him, can you tell me how I could e-mail the pictures to him? |

What a great tour! I had a blast! Our guide not only knew about food but also provided wonderful insight to the neighborhood, architecture and NYC history. All the places we visited were terrific and the food samples delicious. I returned to most of the stores we visited and bought goodies to take home and share with friends. I am very interested in taking the other tours you offer and I have another must visit destination on return trips to NYC. Thanks to Kurt (one of the best guides ever!) for an amazing intro to Chelsea Market and the surrounding area. |

This was our second food tour, the first being in New Orleans, which was very enjoyable. The amount and quality of food on the Chelsea Market tour was much better. The tour was very interesting and we would recommend it highly. |

We really enjoyed our food tour of Chelsea Market and the Meatpacking District. The food was great and the tour was interesting. Our tour guide, Curt, was amazing!!! The next time I'm in New York I will be trying their Greenwich Village tour. I will recommend this company to all my friends! |

Our guide was terrifically organized and made each and every member of the tour feel welcome. The food was fabulous and plentiful and the locations were really great. Our guide was flexible (the weather was horrendous, so we tried to stay indoors as much as possible) and took us to some very interesting locations that, as an individual tourist, would not have ventured to on my own.
I enthusiastically reccomend this tour. |
