| The Chelsea Mkt / Meatpacking District Food Tasting Tour was awesome! We have been on walking tours in cities all over the world, but this was our first tasting tour. I thought that we would have small samples of different kinds of food but what we got were big tasty helpings. The Chelsea Market also has an amazing history and has even more amazing art installations. We learned so much about the building that we never would have known if we had visited on our own. (Including who some of the upstairs tenants are. I especially love the elevators!)
Our guide was great. She answered any and all questions, she paced the walk well and was able to relate to a range of ages from teenagers to seniors.
In conclusion, I would HIGHLY recommend this tour to all my friends and to anyone who wants an informational as well as delicious New York experience! |

| My two sisters and I met for a long weekend in New York, and I have made reservations for the Chelsea Market Tour for the 3 of us. We were looking for something a bit different, a small group setting, and of course, we're all about food. We had a great time. Our tour guide Diana was very enthusiastic, knew all kinds of things about the market itself, the development, and neighborhood and surrounding areas. The food was plentiful and very delicious - I could live on the lobster bisque alone. I will definitely go on other Foods of New York Tours when I come back! |

| Chelsea Market tour was really delicious - both in content and samplings. Lots of esoteric information about the area and the building, and the vendors in the building. We ended up patronizing some of them in other areas of the City. |

| We had a wonderful tour and got to learn the history of how the market came to be and why. The food tastings were fun and a sneak peak at Morimoto's restaurant was exciting. The walk on the highline was perfect and the weather held up thankfully... Our guide was very knowledgeable about the market and some of the more famous NY residents! He made it fun and it was well paced. I didn't even notice I was basically on my feet for three hours! I would take the tour again and would certainly recommend it.
Thanks for offering such a wonderful NY experience... |

| Great tour. Even though I've been to Chelsea Market many times I still learned new things about the area on this tour.
Tour guide Bob was knowledgable, easy going and well organized.
Loved the food. |

| My group enjoyed this tour immensely. Our tour guide, Bob, was very informative as well as fun. This is a wonderful way to spend the afternoon. I highly recommend this tour for anyone including children over the age of 12. The food was delicious the history interesting and the views magnificant from the high line. What more could you ask for? We can't wait to try the other food tours. |

| I felt the scope of the tour could have been enhanced including the tasting (e.g. cheese twice). I felt we spent too much time in the chelsea market and not much in meat pkg district plus only one tasting there. I also thought our leader had an attitude problem and at times was snarky. |

| I was a bit disappointed on this tour. Our tour guide was not overly engaging. There seemed to be more overt effort in keeping the tour together. I would not recommend taking a child to this tour. I purchased 3 adult and 1 child tickets (my niece, husband and child live in Brooklyn). The guide seemed concerned about having a child on the tour. We all understood her concern about disrupting the tour for the other members, but felt she was a bit sharp. I will say that a child will become bored on this tour. The group seemed scattered, not engaged.
The tour also felt that it was a marketing tool for the businesses.
I have taken the Greenwich Village tour which was fantastic. The tour guide was engaging and the tour members engaged with others on the tour. I would highly recommend that tour. |
