Chelsea Market/Meatpacking Dist Food Tasting Tour

My husband and I spent 3 facinating hours touring the Cheslea Market area. We enjoyed the tastes of the local vendors, and enjoyed the description of the history and progress of this area of NYC. We would recommend this tour to all of our friends.

The Chelsea Market Tour was a wonderful introduction to this diverse, and cutting edge food haven. Both myself and my cousin John, with his wife Josephine came away with a better sense of what the market can offer. Our guide was fantastic. Humor, wit, and an sense of adventure made the experience very rewarding. We also enjoyed the extra effort to take us to the rooftop penthouse of a local hotel to allow us to have a better perspective of the area. This is the second year in a row I have taken a tour on my vacation time, and would recommend it to all.

The tour was a lot of fun, and our guide, Darrell from Texas, was cute, funny, and a pleasure to spend 3 hours with! He was sensitive to the differences in the group - one 12 year old with mom and dad, a group of 20+s, and a trio of couples. The tastings were delicious and Darrell had plenty of interesting info to fill the times when our mouths were full. Really fun. Will definitely do another Food Tour.

I really enjoyed this tour. I learned a lot, the tastings were great, and the guide (Bob) was very knowledgable.

My husband and I enjoyed our Chelsea / Meatpacking tour very much. We have been to NYC many times but had never ventured to this particular area so decided that eating our way around would be ideal! We saw a variety of shops, restaurants and hotels and learned about the history of the area from our guide Kurt. The food samplings were delicious and the average person would require no lunch after. My husband says that his cookie from Eleni's was the best ever! Kurt is a fabulous tour guide and really made the tour informative and entertaining. One small thing - if you accept a drink in the Hogs & Heifers be prepared to pay...this is not part of the free samplings. We look forward to returning next year and signing up for the Greenwich Village tour!

Lot's of wonderful food and interesting history. We never would have found the Chelsea market otherwise. Our guide Darryl was terrific!

My husband enjoyed the refreshing atmosphere of the Chelse Market. We enjoyed a variety of foods and cultures under one roof. The tour guide was informative and added a couple of hot spot restaruants after the tasting. We ahve already recommended to friends that are headed to NYC.

The Chelsea/Meat Packing Food Tour was fantastic. The guide was personable without being annoying and informative without being encyclopedic. Information was presented at a comfortable pace and a great variety of food stops were covered. Having the inside information and ability to sample along the way yielded far more information and appreciation than could have been garnered alone. The tour guide alos was very talented at moving the group along and refocusing conversation and questions to the benefit of the tour. I can't wait to return to NYC to participate in the other tours offered!

Curt was a fantastic tour guide. He knew a TON about the area and was super accomodating.

While born and raised in New York, although I don't live there any longer, I had never visited this area before or really knew about it, other than that it existed. It was a really worthwhile tour with excellant food, a fantastic, very knowledgable tour guide, nice people from New Orleans, Europe and Australia, and educational. I went because of a recommendation from a friend, and will definitely recommend this to others.
