This was a wonderful tour that started in the Chelsea Market. We visited and ate at most of the stores/shops, a great varied selection of foods and drink (Chocolate Milk that was to die for and Red Tea). Then our guide Darrell, who has to be one of the best, walked us around the area, telling us about the past, present, and future of the area, esp the Meat Packing District. We went to the top of a hotel, whose name is the same as one of the streets but I can't remember it except it started with a G, and we were able to see the area from way above so that was really interesting. Again Darrell was nice, informative, funny, an excellent guide! Take this tour and you will not be disappointed. Also they give you a booklet/handout of the area that describes what you will be seeing. The 3 hours went by way too quickly. I had such a good time I went back a couple of days later and did some shopping at the Chelsea Market. And my next trip to New York will definitely include a visit to Chelsea. |

This tour of the Chelsea Market and Meatpacking District was FANTASTIC! The food we sampled was delicious, and from places we probably never would have found on our own. We had plenty of food - and even came hungry as others recommended. Our tour guide was excellent - he was full of interesting information, was funny, friendly and did a great job. I'm so glad my husband found this tour information online - now I can't wait to do another one in a different area. My husband and I have spent plenty of time in NYC and crossed off all the "Have to do" touristy things, so we're always looking for something new to do - this was a great part of our latest trip in an area of town we had never really visited. I've suggested these tours to several people already and know we'll do a different one the next time we're in The Big Apple! Thank you for a wonderful experience! |

This is a phenomenal tour. The food is delicious and the tour guide (Darryl) was absolutely fabulous. I've already told a number of people about this tour. It's a very interesting area that I knew nothing about. I learned a ton and ate fantastically. What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon! |

This was the best Birthday gift ever! Thanks to my husband we had the most fantastic time with at Chelsea Market tour.
Our guide was Kurt and he was terrific, we laughed so much. His abilities to learn everyones names were great. There were 16 of us and it felt like he knew all of us in a matter of minutes. He was very funny, but very knowledgeable.
Samples food items were in ample portions. We did not need lunch or dinner for a while after the tour. It was great to see the comradary among the vendors in the Market and Kurt ( our guide) They all knew him and welcomed the entire group with open arms.
I must have recommended the tour to at least 10 people already. Please , keep up the good work and we are already signed up for another tour ( Greenwich Village tour).. |

I had Sam as my guide and he was warm, funny, friendly, and smart - he even learned every participant's name! The tour was on a cold, rainy day-a perfect activity because 99% of the tour was inside (he would have done more outside but we were too cold and wet). Thanks for providing this service...Chelsea market is a real NYC gem for foodies! Ann Turner, Chevy Chase, MD |

We were met by an energetic red-head with a fabulous knowledge of the Chelsea Market, the stores in the market and the Meatpacking district. Our bellies were full by the end of the tour and we'd learned alot about the area including serveral restaurants that we'd love to try for dinner. It's a must go on tour! |

Food was great, and the tour guide was too. |

We had previously done the West Village tour and were looking forward to another quality experience, but this surpassed all our expectations.
Even though it was pouring rain, we had a blast as Curt, our guide, had interesting insights and/or humorous comments about virtually everything we tasted, asked questions about or just walked by. Five minutes in, he knew everyone by name and made the tour a very personalized experience for each of us.
The food was varied, abundant and excellent. By the end, no one was thinking of lunch.
From the ritziest restaurants to the Hogs & Heifers bar, everyone knew Curt and we were welcomed onto the premises.
An entertaining way to spend a few hours. I would recommend it to anyone. |
