| I expected more food on a foods tour, but we got a cookie, soup, bread with cheese, and sampling of gelato the store was already handing out to the public. Then we were taken on a walking tour of the Meatpacking district and didn't necessarily get an inside look or special access that we wouldn't have gotten on our own. Our tour guide was very nice and funny, but the elements of the tour itself were not so impressive. |

Daryll was an AWESOME Guide!!!

| The day was very cold and windy but we enjoyed every second of the tour thanks to the informative guide, Daryll. I strongly recommend you visit this area on a tour so you can really understand what you are seeing......lots of interesting history! |

| Perfect tour for a stormy New York afternoon. Sam made the tour both entertaining and informative. He was quick enough to make it possible for us to see all vendors without feeling rushed. His knowledge of the building's history as well as the products being offered by the current tenants was impressive. All the vendors made us want to come back when we had more time to shop at a leisurely pace.
I would recommend the tour and Sam to others without any reservation. In addition, my wife and I are investigating the Greenwich Village tour for a subsequent visit to NY with friends. |

| I am german but live in NJ and had a couple of friends from Germany with me. We all enjoyed the tour a lot and had a great time. It was very informative and interesting. The food tastings were great, a little bit of everything. It was so great to see these top rated restaurants from the inside, these were places you normally would only read in magazines about.
All thumbs up, great tour, great tour guide, already recommended it to so many people. |

| We gave this as a gift to my family at Christmas time. We had 6 adults and 3 teens. Our tour guide was Kurt. We are all into food, love to cook and love to be together. I knew the tour would be fun, but the whole experience just blew me away. Kurt was an exceptional guide, very knowledgeable about food and the history of the market and surrounding areas. He gave us valuable "insider" tips to some of the restaurants and clubs in the area. He also acknowledged the shellfish allergy my nephew has which I had informed foodsofny when I made the reservation. When we arrived at the Lobster Box Kurt gave my nephew an olive rosemary bread as he could not participate in the tasting at this spot.
There was certainly enough food and all of it was delicious. We had a very rainy windy day and it was perfect because 2/3rds of the tour was inside. It was my niece’s birthday weekend and this was the icing on the cake. We can't wait to do the other two tours. Thanks for a great day. |

| We enjoyed our food tasting tour so much. All the food tastings and everything else extra information, for example about the Meatpacking district, was so interesting and well told. Our language skills are not so great but it was not a problem. We understood almost everything. The guide Sam was great! Three hours went too fast.
We warmly recommend this tour to everyone. Go there! |

| This tour is definitely worth the time and money. Several top shops are visited within Chelsea Market, as well as popular restauants of the surrounding area. The tastings are all of very high quality foods. There was more than enough food provided to suffice as a meal for lunch. The tour guide was fun, nice, and very knowledgeable, not the 'corny' type that I have encountered on many tours that is simply performing for tips. And, not only do you get to taste great food, you learn the history and other facts about the area while you are at it. Highly recommended! |
