the food tastings were all amazing, even the foods I wouldn't normally try on my own. The tour guide's knowledge of Chelsea Market and the surrounding area was great. Would definitely recommend to others!

I would change the order of the tastings with the dessert items last. Otherwise excellent tour.

The tour was really amazing. I had never spent any time in Chelsea before and was fascinated by the history of the neighborhood, on which our guide was quite an expert. Additionally all the places we stopped had phenomenal food, as can be expected in NYC. The tour included cupcakes, seafood soups, Italian cured meats, pasta, and several other things. Very interesting stops, including High Line Park. Wear comfy shoes though, there is a ton of walking. Definitely recommended.

I loved the tour. Bob Gelber was great. The history and information was what really made the tour. I was glad to get a booklet about all the places at Chelsea, so when I return, I can reference it. I have recommended the tour to others and I will be signing up for the other Food Tours.

Fantastic for everyone!

We went on the Chelsea Market tour with a group of seven - including one person in a wheelchair and two food-savvy children (aged 8 and 10). There was something for everyone on this tour, and our guide Cindy kept us all eating and laughing and very well informed. There also wasn't a hitch with the wheelchair - Cindy helped us navigate beautifully. As for the food, our favorites were the soup at the Lobster Place, Sarabeth's biscuit and jam, and Macelleria at the end. My one quibble is that the first tasting is a cupcake, which was hard to enjoy so early in the day. I've taken this tour before, and I love to remember all the great stuff I learned about Chelsea Market every time I go in there. It was the perfect thing to do when family came to town!!

Great Time!

I was looking for something fun to do with our friends from Connecticut and this was a great time! My husband and I are originally from NYC so we have always had the luxury of coming into the city and walking around and we found that this tour offered us an educational experience of the area we already loved. The places that were chosen as part of the restaurant were great! Food was amazing! Our tour guide, Cindy, was phenomenal. She was super friendly and knowledgeable of the area and the history behind the restaurants. I highly recommend the tour to anyone who wants a taste of the city. You get plenty of food in the tour as well as the history behind what you are eating. We were very pleased with the portions of food and they were of excellent quality. We are looking forward to booking our next tour with foods of New York!

Barri was a great tour guide and we had a lot of fun. We enjoyed the original tour a bit better because we were able to walk around more of the neighborhood.
