Chelsea Market/Meatpacking Dist Food Tasting Tour

It was an enjoyable day but I had enjoyed the Greenwich village tour better - with this tour there really was not a lot of walking and you were forced to spend the day inside for the most part - however, there was plenty of food (more sweets than "main" food) and our tour guide Darryl was very nice and knowledgeable.

Not sure what to expect-but figured at $40 what bad could happen? Arrived early---snooped around---still unsure. Bob the tour guide arrived and the fun began. Enjoyed the tasting, but really LOVED the commentary on the building and and how it morphed from an abandoned warehouse to its new life. Appreciated the neighborhood walk and although I felt really weird tromping thru the penthouse of the building down the street, it offered a great view of the Hudson River and the area. Would love to have seen the FoodNetwork Studio. Eagerly planning a return visit to try the other food tours and hope some other day-long treks will be added. (we headed off to Economy Candy---which is also interesting.) Our tour guide had a very well-rounded knowledge of NYC and answered many (history) questions we had that were unrelated to Chelsea Market.

this was my second tour and I loved both. highly recommend both Chelsea and Soho tours

My sister and I visited New York City June 14-18. We took the Chelsea/Meat Packing District tour with Daryl. He took us around the indoor Chelsea Market, where we were given a brief history of the area, and tons of wonderfully delicious samples to eat. Daryl was very witty, funny, and knowledgable. I highly recommend this tour!

The historical aspect of the tour was great. Enjoyed learning about the changes in the Chelsea area and the Meatpacking District. The shops in Chelsea Market are delightful. The food tasting was just okay - a lot of carbohydrates.

We recently spent three days in New York City and I would have to say this tour was one of the highlights of the trip. Our guide Kirt was both knowledgeable and funny. He had no trouble keeping the entire group entertained, even my 12 year old. The food we sampled was more like a meal and variety was never an issue. I would have no problem highly recommending this activity and am so glad I read about it in our local newspaper before our trip. (Columbus Dispatch)

Everything from the guide to the food was very good. I liked the tour a Greenwich village better because we were outside more.

on our girlfriends turning 40 weekend in NYC! We really enjoyed learning about this area of the city. The tour guide had all kinds of fun facts, handled questions well and was just really fun! Lots of good food, no need to eat before going on the tour. We would highly recommend this tour!

Great way to spend a few hours and not only get to see a part of NY we might not have found on our own, but to partake of some great food and to learn some interesting facts/trivia about what we were seeing. Great way to experience the city, even for "born and bred" NYers like us!

enjoyed most of the tastings. It would be nice to have just a few more. The tour outside was really unnecessary. Maybe, Del Posto could offer a small taste. tour quide was very informative, knowledgeable and excited about presenting information.
