our guide made this tour the highlight of our trip
Sat, Apr 14, 07   11:30 AM horseplayr Female 60-69 Domestic Tourist(s) Group of Friends
the food was wonderful..but..we would not have needed a morsel to make this tour a huge success..the guide was knowlegedable and entertaining..and in tune to all his guest's needs..We took the Greenwich Village tour the last time we visited NYC and my friend was hesitant to take another tasting tour..but I reminded her how much we enjoyed that and we went ahead and did the Chelsea..oh my..what a fun day that was..thankyou so much..I hope you add more tours we would be more than happy to take each and every tour you host. We took a few more tours while we were there last week, and they were so lame it was a total waste of not only money, but our precious time. I am lousy with names, but my buddy said our tour's name was Daryll ..I thought it was Eric..but, no doubt you know who it was and it appeared that the group that preceded us was enjoying their tour as much..EXCELLENT..how I wish you had tours of the Museums...the Met..Central Park..chinatown,soho whatever..we would be thrilled to take any tours you offered..looking forward to our next trip to NY once my feet recover. thanks again..Pam Berumen...

This tour was recommended to me by a friend, and I am so glad that I took it. The guide was excellent and so informative. The tasting was so much fun and I had no idea that the Chelsea Market had so much to offer. I highly advise taking the tour. My granddaughter was with me and she is 18. She enjoyed the tour as much as I did and was never bored.

I enjoyed the tour and found it to be very informative with current relevant information and with historical information on the building/area. Tour guide was very nice and informative. Would have like info on all shops located in Chelsea Market. Looking forward to participating in Greenwich tour.

Great history of the Meatpacking District

This food tour centered mostly around the Chelsea Marketplace, and it was very informative about not only the large wholesale food providers, but also the history of the building. It covered the building's past lives including the restoration and revival to its form today. The last part of the tour took us outside and around the neighborhood. It is a fascinating part of the city that is now in a major transition. All of the tastings were in the marketplace-I wish we had had some tastings in a couple of the restaurants outside. The tastings included too many sweets for my palate-would have enjoyed more "real food" from restaurants etc. But it was well worth it-there was a lot of food, and you definitely won't go hungry!

I enjoyed the tour and all of the food tastings. I thought the tour was managed very well. The tour guide clearly added to our enjoyment of the tour. I would recommend it to others I know travelling to NY.

Chelsea/Meatpacking Tour
Wed, Apr 11, 07   12:00 PM hardly Male 40-49 International Tourist(s) Group of Friends
An excellent insight into one of the historical and upcoming areas in New York. This gave us a real feel for a part of NY that we would not have had time to see. Also it allowed us to see and taste good range of quality foods in a short space of time. The benefit for us was that we can now go back in our own time and experience the highlights. The host was informative and welcoming.

More than just a Tour
Sun, Apr 8, 07   11:30 AM tbrumfield Male 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Family Without Children
My wife and I learned about the stores in Chelsea Market that we hear so much about on TV. However, it was more that just a tour because we learned about the meat packing industry in New York, the renovations taking place in this area and visited several of the restaurants and one hotel in the area. Tour guide was outstanding.
