Chelsea Market/Meatpacking Dist Food Tasting Tour

While I am a native New Yorker, there was much learned after having taken this tour. I think a lot has to do with the luck you have with your particular guide. Mine was very pleasant and definitely had more than just a working knowledge of the environment. I thought that the places we were taken were representative of the area and the many changes that seem to be taking place there. I enjoyed the different samples of food and could definitely see myself becoming a patron of some of those establishments. I also liked the walk outside where the guide pointed out some of the pricey stores that are coming into the area. I think this tour is a worthwhile experience for either a native or a tourist. Relating the information about the High Lline to the special section in the Sunday New York Times was a thoughtful touch.

It was fun and I would recommend it to all my friends. More like this.

Our tour guide Todd was very informative, fun and knowledgeable. This tour is a must for any dining enthusiast.

We enjoyed this tour as much as the Greenwich Village tour we took in March 2005. Very different, very fun and informative.

This was my second tour with the same company. I enjoyed it the first time so much that I decided to take my husband and another couple on the tour. The guide we had was even better than the first one. I think his name was Kirk (?) and he provided so much information, pictures and fun! We all found the history of the market so interesting and, of course, enjoyed the tastings provided. We went back and purchased some items from the various stores and had a snack at one of the restaurants he took us into. To sum up - a wonderful experience. I now plan on taking the same group to the Greenwich Village Tour.

The four in my group all really enjoyed the adventure. Our guide, Chad was very informative of the area as well as the places we stopped to have a sample. We enjoyed the tour so much that when I return in July with family, we are going to tour the Greenwich Village site. Can't wait. Thanks for a great tour Chad. Saturday May 21 @ 11:00. Denise Fraher

I really liked the tour. eating, drinking and also the explanation of the chelsea market and meatpkng district. (like the high line, understanding between the meatpackers and prostitudes.... where was larry!!) the only thing I would change is the place to eat the dessert. Outside is not the place to eat dessert. (that's why it's 4 stars instead of 5) See you on the village tour!

This was an excellent tour. Guide was funny and well-informed. I recommend this to anyone looking for a fun day.

I highly recommend it to anybody who wants to know something about Chelsea and the Meatpacking District. Curt, our guide was excellent. He has a extremely good knowledge of the area and of New York City. He made the tour a real highlight of our vacation. Thank you very much!!

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!
