Learned about Chelsea Market in more depth than possibly imagined. Tour guide was entertaining,and knowledgeable about each phase of the tour. Sampling and watching the foods being prepared was enjoyable. Getting an in depth history lesson about the Market an the Meat Packing District was a plus. |

The Chelsea Market/Meatpacking District tour was a great time. I live in NYC and took family to this. I'd recommend it to out-of-towners and New Yorkers alike. Our guide, Cyndi, was extremely enthusiastic and knowledgable. |
|
This tour is highly recommended! |

The tour was well paced lead by an impressive tour guide with an incredible nack for names. The only suggestion I would make is that the tour ended back at the market. If we had ended back at the market, I believe we would have made some purchases. Great day overall. |

Amazingly Fun, Delicious and Informative !! |

We all enjoyed the tour of the Chelsea Market and its environs. This is a very interesting area and is already showing it's growth and popularity. Our guide, Sam, was fun and full of knowledge. Had I not committed to this tour, I probably would not have explored this area. There are some really fine restaurants in the neighborhood that I would definitely try when we go back. The food tours are a great source of entertainment while learning areas of new york. My only regret is not having an opportunity to tour the Food TV network just above the market. Hopefully, someday, the tour will be inclusive of this. |

sam did a great job!! have him do other tours too |

my family (husband and 2 kids, ages 12 and 16) have done 2 other of your tours, and this one was terrific. we were pleasantly surprised, and sam did a super job in many ways:
he learned each of our names right away (that's a daunting task)
he joked around while teaching us historical facts
his enthusiasm was contagious
he was great with all types of people (my kids, the int'l tourists, and all)
he made us feel comfortable and involved in the tour -- rather than being
lectured he involved each of us with eye contact and fun questions
cant wait til you guys offer more tours of the city -- how bout harlem area? or
arthur avenue? or lower east side? or even upper east/west manhattan?
we will sign up for every one -- we find it fun, informative, and yummy!
you do a great job and thank you again to sam from sam/emily/john/ellen |

This was our 2nd tour with Food Tours. We have already done the Village tour. Our tour guide both times was Kurt. We didnt request him the 2nd time but we were very lucky to get him again. He is extremely funny and very energetic. He talks throughout the tour and never sounds rehearsed at any point. He makes every stop a lot of fun. All the stops in the tour were great. I loved Eleni's Bakery. We even stopped there after the tour for some of their wonderful cupcakes.
After seeing the entire market, Kurt took us out into the neighborhood. Even without food samples, he made this section extremely interesting.
We recommend this tour to everyone we meet. We have purchased this tour as a gift. We enthusiastically recommend this tour to everyone!! Kurt is the best!! |
