Amazing Experience.

I was in Manhatten by myself for a couple of days. I found out about the tour from friends. I've done similar walking tours throughout Europe. This one was simply the best one ever. The Guide Curt was spectacular. He was a fine host and an amazingly funny guy. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour at all. I'm looking forward to taking the other tour the next time i'm in NYC. Worth the cost at twice the price-----BRAVO.

I found this tour on the internet and thought I would take a chance. The tour was so entertaining and informative not to mention the great food you get to try along the way. Our tour guide, Kurt, made the tour outstanding and I would recommend it to all my friends visiting New York. Thank you for introducing us to so many great food shops and touring the area!

Two thirds of this tour is spent in the Chelsea Market, making it less varied than the Greenwich Village tour, but still interesting in its own right. The meat packing district is sure to undergo many more changes in the near future which will further enhance the tour.

Wanted to see and taste, and meet the chef kind of thing, less history...wanted to spend more time inside shops, and go inside to see products and buy..try some wines ect.

A tour not to be missed!!!

We all had a wonderful time on this tour. Cindy was an amazing guide giving us lots of history and "insider info". We even got to thank the developer of the Chelsea market for doing such a good job with the building!! The tastings were delicious and varied and we were all stuffed when we left!!! Can't wait to do another tour (the next time of Greenwich Village)!! I will make sure to ask for Cindy as a guide!! As a veteren "foodie" I highly recommend this tour!!!

Highlight of my visit to NYC!

The tour was great! I travel a lot in the US and internationally and I thoroughly enjoyed this walking tour. The information, the guide, and the locale were interesting. I took the tour on my first full day in NYC and recommended it to people I met in the city.

Greenwich Village Tour Was Much Better

A few years ago I took the Greenwich Village tour and I was somewhat disappointed with this one. The food choices were not as varied - we ate a lot of bread. And when we sat down for a "feast," having lemonade (I think it was blueberry) was the absolute wrong choice to mix with olives, salami, cheese and marinated eggplant - the whole thing gave me heart burn!! On the Greenwich tour I remember eating from an Italian deli, bakery, chocolate place, pizzeria (which was absolutely delicious!!) and a Middle Eastern place. The choices on the Chelsea tour were flat and without the same quality. The Greenwich tour was a few years ago (probably 3) and I still remember the food and our wonderful tourguide (Zora). I doubt I'll have the same recollection of this tour 3 years later. The tour in the meat packing district itself was skimpy and with no food. We stopped in the new restaurant, Nero's, and it would have been more interesting if we could sample food there or at some other restaurant outside of Chelsea Market. Any thought to doing a wine tasting either in Chelsea Market at the wine place or one of the restaurants?? Don't know if there are legal issues but thought it might be worth looking in to. Overall, I think the concept of a Chelsea/MPD tour is good but the specifics need to be reevaluated. I would not recommend this tour to friends. I have recommended the Greenwich tour without reservation.

It was as much fun as anticipated. We also enjoyed the facts learned. It seems my mother went to school on the same street and also enjoyed my retelling of the areas history.

The information was very interesting

I thought that Curt my tour guide provided a lot of interesting information, but the tour seemed less exciting since most of it took place in one building. Although overall I really enjoyed my experience, and I highly suggest others to do it!
