| Learning about the historical Chelsea Market and the meatpacking district is fascinating enough. Add mouthwatering samples from the wholesalers at the market and it makes for a perfect, scrumptious afternoon in New York. It's a three-hour walking tour, but the time flew as our totally fun, outgoing tour guide regaled us with history and New York gossip, and we anticpated the next yummy stop along the way. Highly recommended! |

| My wife and I took this tour as part of my birthday celebrations. Diana (or Diane) was our tour guide. We had a really good time going to the various gourmet food places and restaurants. Diana gave us a very detailed and interesting history of how the Chelsea market came into being. We also enjoyed the inside peek into the high end restaurants Morimoto and Del Posto during their off hours. I would recommend this trip to friends and would like to revisit all these places again on our own.
We were quite tired at the end of the tour...but I guess that goes to show that a lot of ground was covered during this tour. Wear comfortable shoes and bring a hat and sunglasses if for the outdoor part. |

| Samson enthusiastically led us on a tour through the Chelsea Market and the Meatpacking District. We already live in NY but learned so much about the area that we didn't already know. Samson was very engaging, made time to answer questions, and never make you feel hurried. He was very personable and knew many of the store owners by name. The tour was a "sampling" of a lot of different restaurants but we were pretty stuffed by the time that it was over. I highly recommend visiting The Lobster Place and Sarabeth's for their delicious fare. It was a great way to spend Sunday afternoon. I hope to see Samson on a future tour! |

| We recently spent three days in New York City and I would have to say this tour was one of the highlights of the trip. Our guide Kirt was both knowledgeable and funny. He had no trouble keeping the entire group entertained, even my 12 year old. The food we sampled was more like a meal and variety was never an issue. I would have no problem highly recommending this activity and am so glad I read about it in our local newspaper before our trip. (Columbus Dispatch) |

| We really enjoyed the Chelsea Market tour given by our tour guide Bob who was great. You can tell Bob really loved what he was doing because he did it so well. The food samples were delicious and we had to go back and do some shopping afterwards so we could bring some of the great food home. Learning about the history of the building, the owners of the shops and tidbits about about the food network stars was interesting and it really made the market come alive! Too bad we live over an hour away otherwise I would shop in this market more frequently. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone and it was well worth the price of the ticket. |

| This was a great way to learn more about what's in your own backyard! Kurt, our guide, was friendly, upbeat, and very knowledgable. A great way to spend a few hours on the weekend exploring the neighbourhoods and restaurants. I will recommend it to others and will take a tour of other NYC neighbourhoods based on this experience - and I work in NYC every day! |
