I was so impressed by the Foods of NY Tour! At first, I wasn't sure if it was going to be too "touristy" but as a local, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I learned! Awesome tour guide too! Keep up the great work!

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!

We toured with Darryl on Friday, Aug 3. This was a lot of fun and informative. Darryl did a great job. I took my 12 year old son, who is a "foodie" and food network fan. We also learned about the gentrification of the meatpacking district and about the high line railroad. I can't get my kids to agree to go to museums, so this was a great alternative!!! During the tour, we were able to go inside the Del Posto restaurant and secure dinner reservations for saturday nite. We took my husband there for his birthday last nite and it was a wonderful experience!!!! We may sign up for the village tour next!!! Thank you.

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.

Hi-light of Trip

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!

We enjoyed the Chelsea Market (8/07) and the Greenwich Village (3/07) tours very much. Both guides were friendly, knowledgeable and lots of fun! The food was great and we have and will revisit many of the places introduced.
