| This was a fantastic tour, and I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys food and cooking and getting an insider's look at this area of NYC. My husband is an enthusiastic cook, and we thought the tour/tasting combination was very well thought out and fun. We also enjoyed the walk around the meatpacking district and the little tidbits that our guide, Curt Upton, threw into the mix. |

A great way to see the Meatpacking District!

| Absolutely fantastic. Kurt - our tour guide - really made the tour. There were some great tastings, a good variety and lots of interesting information about the food and the market. |

| The Chelsea Market food tour was one of our favorite activities on our NYC trip. The food was delicious and we had very generous samples to taste. Darrell was our tour guide and he did an excellent job of touring us around the market and surrounding area. We enjoyed hearing the history of Chelsea Market and the meatpacking district. |

| My wife and I enjoyed this tour every much. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and the food we tasted was great and the portions at some of the tasting were more than we expected. I would recommend this tour for anyone visiting NY city. My wife found this area of NY city to be great fun and we would return to on our next visit. This is an area you would not expect to visit but is as much fun or more fun to see than some of the better known site to visit. This is my second of three bookings through "Zerve" two thru the internet and now one over the telephone. The person over the phone was very friendly and helpful. |

| First, I rarely do reviews - and even more rarely go on tours when I travel, feeling they often blast through well known parts of a city, giving only surface detail at best. This is not the case here, and the reason I'm writing this review. I was thoroughly impressed with both the content of the tour and it's layout - I never felt like we were rushed, and the order in which we tasted foods made sense for the time of day. Todd is incredibly knowledgable, with a great sense of humor, and willing to answer all questions. He clearly has a passion for NYC and for these areas specifically, and of course, food! I had visited NYC before, but hadn't spent much time in Chelsea/Meatpacking District so thought this would be a great way to get acquainted. This tour went beyond my expectations on every level - and seeing these areas just added more items to my list of things I love about new york. I can't recommend this tour highly enough. Best $40 I spent in NYC on this trip, hands down. Thanks! |

| We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Unfortunately our tour was scheduled towards the end of our visit. I recommend that you book the tour at the beginning of your trip because you will definitely want to come back to the Chelsea Market! The tour guide was personable, friendly and extremely knowledgeable....a foodie after my own heart! |

| -Recommend for locals and tourists alike (I'm a recent resident to NYC)
-This tour is good for inclement weather (temperature or rain) as the first couple of hours are inside the Chelsea Market. It would also be good for those interested in a tour but not wishing to walk long distances (ie I was thinking of my mum visiting soon and not wanting to have her walk a lot)
- The tour is a great blend of history, food and fun and is well managed and organized
- Plan to set aside some money post tour as you will want to pick up something from every spot
- In summary worth every dollar spent! |
