My husband and I and another couple did the Chelsea Mkt. food tour last weekend. It was fabulous. Our tour guide was not only knowledgeable but he was very funny and there was no shortage of food. Everything from gourmet cookies to lobster bisque -- we definitely did not walk away hungry. My husband and I and our two children did the Greenwich village tour this past August and that is also another different (and yes, fantastic) thing to do.
I would do either tour again in a heartbeat and we can't wait to do the central village/soho tour next summer. |

We brought our daughter and her friend who are in their 20's. They aren't big fans of "tours" and weren't sure at first. Kurt, our guide, was very entertaining and knowledgeable, and the girls kept repeating how glad they were that we had included this in our plans. Thanks! |

The three-hour tour of the Chelsea Market/Meatpacking District has been the highlight of our NYC annual trip. Our tour guide, Kurt, didn't leave out a single detail and still knew the answers to everyone in the group's questions. The food was all unique and my husband and I were pleasantly stuffed afterwards! We were good-to-go until dinner-time. I would recommend this tour to everyone and we will do it again on our next visit next year. |

Our tour guide - Curt really made the experience. He was extremely entertaining. I wondered what we could possibly do for 3 hours but the time just flew by. The food tasting was wonderful. There were small portions but delicious and such a wide variety from the soup, cookies, biscuits with jam and gelato just to name a few. I am hoping to plan another trip to Soho or Tribeca based upon the great time we had. My 21 yr old son was with us and he had a great time too. We enjoyed the other aspects of the tour as well. |

First off, our guide (Eric) was awesome. Obviously his quit wit and humor made the whole experience much more enjoyable. The food tasting was awesome and the history he provided was great. Would absolutely recommend this to everyone visiting New York. |

My friend and I travel to NYC about once a year, and we are always looking for something new and different to round out our experiences. We have taken the Greenwich Food Tour and thoroughly enjoyed it, so this time we chose the Chelsea/Meat Packing District Tour. It was so informative and entertaining! Our guide was knowledgeable and funny. He answered questions and gave us tips on gourmet foods, cooking, and shopping. This man seemed to love his job, and his enthusiasm was obvious. (An upbeat, intelligent guide makes all the difference when one is on a tour like this, and everyone enjoyed this one. ) We experienced a variety of tasty foods, from hot soup to gelato, and all of it was delicious. This time we were indoors for most of the tour, which was a good thing considering the cold weather. We also spent some time touring restaurants and bars that were frequently visited by "the rich and famous." That was fun, too. All in all, we'd repeat the tour in the future. I'd recommend it to anyone. |

This was our second Foods of NY tour--the first being the Greenwich Village tour in May. Sampson was our guide, and he was a joy to spend the afternoon with. The Chelsea Market is a true gem as is the entire ever-evolving Meatpacking District. We learned so much about the building, the vendors inside the market, and the whole area. The food tastings were wonderful and substantial. We even ventured to an area restaurant for an early dinner upon the recommendation of Sampson. We were VERY pleased. We will definitely include another tour in our next NYC visit. |

This was our second tour w/Kurt. It's a tie on which was better, Chelsea or Greenwich. We went back to Chelsea Market 2 days later and came upon another group. I listened in and I know I would have been disappointed if I didn't get Kurt for our tour guide the 2nd time. The other guide wasn't bad, it's just that we've been spoiled w/ Kurt's enthusiasm, knowledge, wit, etc.etc. |

Even BETTER than we had expected! |

This tour was even better and more interesting than we had expected. Our guide was exceptionally enthusiastic and knowledgable. All the food samples were huge and wonderul! We will definitely go back to Chelsea market when we are in town next and we may order some items as holiday gifts this year. We also want to try some restaurants when we return and will try to stay at the B&B. It was fascinating to learn the history of the area and how it has changed. The handout was very helpful for future reference and to order goodies now that we're back in Georgia. Thanks for a well-spent three hours! |
