The tour guide was both informative and entertaining. He provided great reviews of the shops and resteaurants. The tastings were outstanding and made you wanting to go back for more(which we did). This is a must tour for anyone who has not visited the Chelsa Market and the Meat-Packing district.

Great food and interesting information about the place. The only recommendation I would make is to allow for some selection of choices by the audience. Ice cream instead of milk would have been a nice choice for those that don't drink milk. But overall great time.

This was an amazing and informative tour!! I am a food engineer and a bit of a foodie and wanted to see this other side of NY on a weekend trip from Texas. With my travel alarm clock still on Central Time, our day got off to a bad start-- we thought we were 30 min early for our tour, but ended up 30 min LATE! After a near divorce on the streets of Manhattan we ran into the market looking for our group. Not only were they exactly where the instructions said-- the tour guide had saved us 2 cookies from the first tour stop we missed!!! Needless to say, the tour continued with great food stops, snacks and insights. Even my guy (who was a solo male in a group of 10 women!) was impressed. Thanks to Cindy for being a wonderful, enthusiastic guide- and for saving our day!

Great entertainment through food and history

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.

Food and Fun in the Market

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.

Great Way to Spend Sunday Afternoon

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 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!
