We toured with Darryl on Friday, Aug 3. This was a lot of fun and informative. Darryl did a great job. I took my 12 year old son, who is a "foodie" and food network fan. We also learned about the gentrification of the meatpacking district and about the high line railroad. I can't get my kids to agree to go to museums, so this was a great alternative!!!
During the tour, we were able to go inside the Del Posto restaurant and secure dinner reservations for saturday nite. We took my husband there for his birthday last nite and it was a wonderful experience!!!!
We may sign up for the village tour next!!!
Thank you. |

My husband enjoyed the refreshing atmosphere of the Chelse Market. We enjoyed a variety of foods and cultures under one roof. The tour guide was informative and added a couple of hot spot restaruants after the tasting. We ahve already recommended to friends that are headed to NYC. |

The Chelsea/Meat Packing Food Tour was fantastic. The guide was personable without being annoying and informative without being encyclopedic. Information was presented at a comfortable pace and a great variety of food stops were covered. Having the inside information and ability to sample along the way yielded far more information and appreciation than could have been garnered alone. The tour guide alos was very talented at moving the group along and refocusing conversation and questions to the benefit of the tour. I can't wait to return to NYC to participate in the other tours offered! |

We enjoyed the Chelsea Market (8/07) and the Greenwich Village (3/07) tours very much. Both guides were friendly, knowledgeable and lots of fun! The food was great and we have and will revisit many of the places introduced. |

Very enjoyable! |

This tour was informative and had a nice variety of food choices. Our group was small and felt more personal. Our guide was friendly and full of facts about the market and surrounding areas. I would have loved to visit the whole city with her! We had a wonderful time. |

Great intro to the area by a very pleasant guide |

Exactly as in the blurb, good intro to a rapidly changing area, with some interesting food on the way around some interesting places.
From my perspective, our guide knew exactly how much to tell us to keep us interested, and when to simply wait and let us absorb a certain building. The time passes surprisingly quickly and the end of the tour is very interesting.
Recommended as a way of spending three hours learning about this bit of the city if you are interested, far far better than reading a guidebook or watching a documentary.
