Chelsea Market/Meatpacking Dist Food Tasting Tour

Absolutely loved your walking/eating tour of the Chelsea Market and the Meatpacking district. My ONLY objection was the order in which the tastings occurred. The first thing we tasted was Eleni's everything cookie which I consider to be dessert. Soups, pastas, lunch meats, scones, and chocolate milk were all tasted in random order. I would have preferred that the tour be organized more in the order of a good meal.

This was a great NYC tour. The guide was funny and informative. The food tastings were very good. The pace was about right and we never felt rushed. Our guide recommended a visit to the roof top bar at a nearby hotel after the tour. We took his advice and it was the perfect ending of a great afternoon on a beautiful April day in NYC.

If you are a true foodie, you will enjoy this tour as much as my daughter and I did. Curt, our guide, was well informed, upbeat, and gave personal service, with attention to detail. The information provided about the venue really helped us to have a feel of the renovation of a former abandonded factory area, along with the interesting beginnings of many of these now well established gourmet shops, bakeries and food purveyors. We were with a group of 16 people, Curt made sure we each were given special attention. I have difficulty walking long distances, and once Curt saw me find a seat near each stop to rest, he made it a priority that he helped me to find that needed place to rest as we proceeded along the way - without making me feel like I had a spotlight on my issues. (Refreshing to find a detail oriented person with so much tact.) I would highly recommend this tour to you and your friends. You will be lucky to have Curt for your future guide. ( No, I am not his grandmother, neighbor or girlfriend, just a well satisfied tour attendee.) Thanks for a great trip through Chelsea. Christie Brown, Hobbs, NM

Food tasting @ Chelsea Market is wonderful! They even accommodated one member of our party who is allergic to shell fish. Our guide, Darryl, was witty, knowledgeable, and just a good time. The food tasting was delicious and the history of the meatpacking district was really interesting. You will learn things that you never knew! Food, fun people, and interesting history! What more could you want!!

Yes, there are alot of tours to choose from while one is visiting NYC but I have not found one that is more enjoyable than the Food Tasting Tours. Not only are you entertained by a well-informed tour guide, you are sampling some of the best food in the city in the most popular neighborhoods. What's not to like about that????? I have taken the Village tour and the Chelsea Market tour and can't wait to get back to the city to try the Chinatown tour.

This is a great tour to take if you have never been in this neighborhood before. Chelsea market was an amazing place with great shops and food. The restaurant in the Meatpacking District was awesome! Barri, our guide was very imformative and friendly, I would definetly recommend this tour to anyone visiting NYC!

My husband and I enjoyed our Chelsea / Meatpacking tour very much. We have been to NYC many times but had never ventured to this particular area so decided that eating our way around would be ideal! We saw a variety of shops, restaurants and hotels and learned about the history of the area from our guide Kurt. The food samplings were delicious and the average person would require no lunch after. My husband says that his cookie from Eleni's was the best ever! Kurt is a fabulous tour guide and really made the tour informative and entertaining. One small thing - if you accept a drink in the Hogs & Heifers be prepared to pay...this is not part of the free samplings. We look forward to returning next year and signing up for the Greenwich Village tour!

This was a great tour - very informative with lots of yummy food. It was a great way to spend three hours. Our tour guide was beyond compare; he was knowledgeable and entertaining.

Tour guide was FABULOUS! Somuch energy, funny and tons of knowldege about the area, food, shops and restaurants. I only wish I could remember his name - he was so funny trying to get all of OUR names right, I can't remember his. For the price of this tour you get alot of food tastings and the information that goes along with it is interesting as well. My husband is a culinary graduate and loved all the tastes and learning about the different shops in the market. For a fun and different day in the city check out this tour. You'll love it!

Our tour was and a lot of fun and we're glad we did it. Chelsea Market is really unique and a definite must see. our tour guide, Kurt, was a great blend of informative and funny. He seemed to be able to remember everyone's name and really knew his facts about the area. This activity was recommended to us by some friend's who had done it a few years ago and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip to NYC.
