This was an excellent tour and the food was outstanding - our tour guide, Bob was great, extremely knowledgeable about the area and very sensitive to the tour members. Would recommend to my friends - have already done so.

We reluctantly tore ourselves away from the designer show rooms to take this tour we had signed up for weeks in advance. Not sure we wanted to go. But.... it was definitely worth it. We loved our energetic and informative guide and the time flew by. Food was great, guide was fabulous. I am recommending this to family and friends. Thanks!

Experience the real NYC

No better way to spend an afternoon in NYC than with a fabulous personal tour guide like Kurt who brings a little known neighborhood to life. His entertaining and historical background stories added so much to our enjoyment of the Chelsea Market and Meatpacking District. It was great to meet business owners, learn about their shops and sample their specialties. Lots of delicious food samples. We thought the price was well worth the tour and food samples that took the place of lunch. Look forward to doing another Food Tour next trip to NYC.

Our tour guide, Kurt or Curt ??, was the BEST -- very knowledgeable, entertaining and enthusiastic about every tour stop. He had unbelievable capability of remembering each guest's name; this made each person feel part of the tour group. The food tastings were very good and ample for lunch. I was very satisfied with the quantity of food. I would recommend this food tasting tour to be included in one's visit agenda. Don't wait to the last minute to make reservations.

This was a fun afternoon with a FABULOUS tour guide (Kurt). He was funny and informative and ensured that every person had a great time. I learned a lot about the history of the area and enjoyed visiting the shops. The food tasting was GREAT! It was a lot of food, so go hungry!! I think we tasted at 8 or 10 places and the food included cookies, biscuits and jam, pasta, bread, cheese, olives and various spreads, meats and condiments, lobster bisque, gelato and tea. I would absolutely recommend this tour and look forward to returning to NYC to attend other food tasting tours.

Darrell, our guide, is very knowledgable about the Chelsea Market and surrounding area. His enthusiam and detail about the vendors and lifestyle made the tour very engaging and was an excellent way to learn about that part of the city. The food choices were excellent and provided a good variety on the market but it was a little heavy on the sweets for my taste.
